Where the demand is

One field, 5 different jobs

“SEO & GEO” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 5 titles that share a craft but not a day - different scope, different level, different pay band. Which title you're chasing is the first cut worth making.

Freshness

What’s open, by the week it posted

How old the live SEO & GEO pipeline is - the window where applying early still puts you in front of a human instead of a stack.

Jul 27This week
+5

SEO & GEO roles posted in the last seven days, across 33 employers - 11% of everything open in the field.

Each bar is the open roles posted that week, not a count of everything posted then: roles that have since closed are gone from it, so older weeks read lighter by design. The window starts when we began ingesting SEO & GEO listings, because a week-by-week series that ran further back would measure our board coverage rather than the market.

Who's hiring, and where

Top locations

Open SEO & GEO roles
San Francisco, CA5

Employers write locations as free text, so every spelling of a city is resolved to one market before it’s counted. A listing naming several markets counts in each, so these don’t sum to the field. The 30 that name no city - remote, “Hybrid”, a campus or a building - sit out entirely rather than get attributed to one.

Methodology

How we compute this

Short version: we count listings, we don't model them. Where the data is thin, the page says so instead of guessing.

Counted, not estimated

Every figure comes from the 45 active SEO & GEO listings we track across 8 applicant-tracking systems, ingested hourly from public job boards. A role that closes this morning drops out this afternoon.

Shares state their own denominator

Work-model percentages cover only the 21 listings that declare one. Experience level is read off every posting at ingest, so those shares cover the whole field. We’d rather show the smaller base than fill the gap.

A field rolls up related titles

SEO & GEO covers SEO Manager, SEO Specialist, GEO Specialist and 2 more titles. A posting joins a title when its own text describes that job - the roll-up is on the classified role, never on a keyword in the headline.
