Understanding of Digital Marketing & SEO
Now you have made up your mind to become an SEO expert. Just to give you a basic idea, you need to understand in detail what digital marketing and SEO are. By gaining this knowledge, you will easily determine whether this industry is made for you.
Because I saw a lot of people who had just started in SEO, looking up to other successful SEO experts. But within a year, they stop. The reason is simple: they are motivated, but they don’t know whether they’re are made for this industry or not.
Like me, I am a digital marketing strategist. There are many fields in digital marketing. But I choose organic marketing; I choose SEO because I love creating the impact SEO makes. When someone searches for anything, your business comes up in front of them.
This thing gives me a kick, which is why I learn and master SEO, organic growth, branding, and content creation. So learn what digital marketing is, the types of digital marketing, and explore more to get a better idea.
Basics of SEO
After getting the idea of how the digital marketing industry works, now you are on stage, you choose seo. It’s up to you which industry you will choose. But we are talking about SEO. Here, I’m going to teach you about SEO. Like in 2015, when I started learning SEO.
There aren’t many resources on YouTube. I found some blogs that I read and practice on my own sites. But in 2026, there are many YouTube channels that will help you learn SEO properly. Before I tell you what channels you need to follow.
I want to give you my personal tips. The first one is to choose a mentor wisely, because there is a lot of garbage in the market. They don’t even know how to do seo properly. Second, focus on the core of SEO, learn the basics, and get a strong understanding of SEO.
Because, after LLMs, most tasks are automated. So if you want to survive, you need to understand the core of seo, like what core web vitals, what is structure, how EEAT works, how to create topical authority, what is a topic cluster, all of these. The more you master the core of seo the more you will succeed.
Build Portfolio
Your portfolio is an important part of your journey because your future, clients, and jobs are based on it. The best way to build your portfolio is to work for free for other companies or websites. In this way, I built a basic portfolio.
Also, with a portfolio, I highly recommend you start 2 websites. The first website is your personal portfolio site, the second one is your business site. Like SEO Gujrat and Digital Hamza, my business sites, I am also working on my own personal site.
With a personal site, you can publish your case studies, client testimonials, and work on a single site. Which acts like your resume. Second, your business site will help you get more clients. Also, whatever you learn, implement on your own site. SEO can attract new clients and drive sales in 2026.
Learn Web Development
SEO isn’t enough in 2026; you need to learn web development. But not in depth, you need to learn WordPress, Shopify, Wix, HTML, and CSS. Because, for SEO, you need to work on the website. So, for a better and greater understanding, you need to learn how websites are built.
This will make your technical SEO stronger than that of a typical SEO expert. Remember, you need to become seo expert, not a web developer. So just learn the basics of development, don’t learn in depth.
Search for Jobs
Now you are ready to start a job in Pakistan. Before the job, you need to create a CV that includes your specific SEO experience. This will demonstrate your dedication to the SEO industry. I made a mistake at first: I created a CV that consolidated all my experience in SEO, digital marketing, social media, and email marketing into one place.
But then one of my SEO colleagues told me to recreate your CV and make a specific SEO-focused CV. Then I switched my CV from every to seo. Below are images of my old and new CVs. Then, after CV, you start applying for jobs. The best platforms are Indeed and LinkedIn.
Also, on social media, you will see a lot of ads for SEO positions. Apply for it and crack the interview. Don’t be sad if you can’t crack the interview. Just focus on learning and growth. Don’t forget each question that people ask you in the interview.
Then, after that, if you think you don’t know something, learn it and apply it again. This is the master key to success.
Conclusion
If you want to grow and learn seo in 2026, then the best way to start is with YouTube. There are a bunch of channels you can follow to learn SEO. For example neil Patel, Brian Dean, WScude Tech, Salman Baig, and many more.
Before you start learning, learn how digital marketing works. Because this will help you determine whether this field really excites you. If the answer is yes, start working and learn seo. Then my recommendation is to start practicing on your own sites. This will lead you to create a detailed portfolio suitable for the job.
