There are 144 open SEO & GEO roles across 87 companies on LandEarly right now, with 9 posted in the past week. Mid-level roles make up 53% of the openings, and 72% of roles that specify a work model are fully remote.
Weighted toward mid experience
53% of open SEO & GEO roles read as mid-level. Entry-level (intern + junior) roles are 7% - a signal of how open this field is to early-career candidates.
A remote-friendly field
Of SEO & GEO roles that specify a work model, 72% are fully remote and 16% are hybrid. (Many listings don't declare one - this is the share among those that do.)

Where the demand is
One field, 7 different jobs
“SEO & GEO” is a bucket, not a job. It rolls up 7 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.

+9
SEO & GEO roles posted in the last seven days, across 87 employers - 6% 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.
Pay, where disclosed
Base salary, from listings that state one
Base only. Bonus, commission and equity are real money but listings describe them too inconsistently to compare, so they stay out of the maths rather than inflate it.

Top locations

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 83 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 144 active SEO & GEO listings we track across 10 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 109 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 Specialist, SEO Manager, GEO Specialist and 4 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.
FAQ
Common questions

Which SEO & GEO roles are most in demand?

Are SEO & GEO jobs remote?
Of the 109 SEO & GEO listings that declare a work model, 72% are fully remote, 16% hybrid and 13% on-site. Most listings never say, so this is the share among those that do - not of the whole field.
What does a SEO & GEO job pay?
Median disclosed base is $126k, with the middle 50% between $100k and $164k. That is base only, computed from the 25 open SEO & GEO listings that state an annual range - bonus, commission and equity are excluded because listings describe them too inconsistently to compare.
