SEO Camp publishes a study about the profession as a "search engine optimizer" consultant in France

David Durand-Pichard, the vice-president of the "search engine optimizer" consultant' association SEO Camp, also in charge with issues relating to employment, introduced almost two weeks ago the results of the study that was carried out this summer within som hundred employers and recruiters.

According to this study:
- Over 54 per cent of the "search engine optimizer" consultants, recruited in France are self-taught. Some are more specifically self-taught in performing stand-alone SEO services, having by the way many and various kind of qualifications. All roads seem to lead to SEO: it does not relieve today a need to follow a specific path or route to practise this kind of activity.

- Two thirds of the companies that recruit receive, on average, only 5 CV by post. From the employers' own admission, the profiles of the candidates have very different qualifications, often insufficient. In short, there is more supply than demand and "qualified SEO" consultants remain rare pearls ...

- The wages of junior SEO are between 20 and 30 k Euros, 80 per cent of salaries are within the range 23-29 k Euros. Confirmed consultants' salaries lie rather in the range 32 - 35 K Euros, and recognized "experts" (who form a very exclusive club) are rather offered wages between 45 and 52 k Euros.
