SEO Salaries India

SEO industry is in its evolving stage in India.A couple of years back, most of the SEO companies relied on outsourced SEO projects for survival.But now the scene has changed.The awareness regarding the benefits of SEO has marginally improved.Now more and more companies are hiring SEO companies and consultants to enhance their online presence.The sudden demand for SEO in India has given rise to lot of job opportunities also.But the demand for SEO professionals is not met well.Mainly because there is little or no training ground for SEOs in India.Unlike other specializations in the field of I.T, Search Engine Optimization has no reputed training centres or certification agencies in the country.Almost all the SEO professionals in the country are self taught and have a background in development.Mainly during the last 5 years, many web development companies in India understood the importance of SEO and assigned their developers to the task of SEO.The developers had no choice but to equip themselves with the know-how on SEO techniques and strategies.Career-wise this could be counted as a beneficial move for developers as it gave them an oppurtunity to consider a career as SEO consultant.The pay is also higher for SEOs compared to developers.
