Seo Specialist Interview Questions

"Search engine marketing specialists are responsible for building a company's audience using their technical skills in coding, web design, and usability. During an interview, expect to answer technical and marketing questions, as well as situational and behavioral questions about how you work in a team. The ideal candidate understands the factors that drive user interest, how to conduct competitor research, and develops link building strategies."

I put "average" difficulty for the interview, because the first round interview was simple. I think they were more or less trying to make sure I was qualified to interview. The second round interview consisted of the senior director asking questions he clearly only wanted extraordinarily specific answers for. Because I didn't give those answers, I wasn't invited back for the next round. The interview questions were fairly straightforward, except in those cases I described above. So, you should know what a "soft 404" is, because that's clearly the difference between being a competent SEO and not, in DEPT's eyes. The other strange question had to do with advising a client on expanding into the European market. I can only assume the interviewer just wanted me to say, "GDPR," but I described a thorough competitor analysis instead.
