Where can a young (or not so young) SEO specialist get a portfolio?

Question

Freelance

For a couple of years now I have been accompanying the company's websites (40 pieces), I do a lot of things, but I would like to do SEO. I have both knowledge and experience, but, of course, I cannot call myself an expert. Hence the question: how to get into seo and build a portfolio from scratch? Maybe someone will advise something? Maybe someone with something to help, as they say, for cookies?

Answer 1

Let's go from the other side. Portfolio you have (40 sites). So write on your future agency website. And you can’t indicate them, as this is a trade secret. Like, you, who are thinking of buying my services, would like your sites to be listed in my portfolio later?

Answer 2

Why are you there? There is no money there. If honestly without deceiving customers, then only with very large orders you can earn. All seo-shniks shout about it. Yes, the market is saturated. A bunch of woodpeckers who do something and do nothing, and a bunch of big players with a bunch of automation and developments. You still go to the oil and gas industry.

Answer 3

I would advise you to create a landing page for yourself and describe in great detail your activities, a list of projects and reviews of people who work with you. The same landing page will be your ideal seller of your services)

Answer 4

> but I would like to seo
I understand that offtopic, moder will probably delete it, but damn it I don’t understand at all how you can want it :)
What's interesting there? A completely banal routine craft, in terms of enthusiasm, somewhere on a par with an accountant of the lowest level.
I understand people who do SEO just for the money, but just to want to make it their life's work...

Answer 5

FridayEvening advised correctly - you have 40 sites that can be classified as a portfolio (if you did seo work on them, of course). Another thing is that customers are interested in seeing real data with site URLs, but if you don’t have them yet, you can start without them, and add them later in the process
