Yes, this is a viable career move. But treat it like a business (you already know that), not just “I’ll pick up gigs and hope”. The search/SEO landscape is evolving fast thanks to AI and changing user behaviour, so your value lies in your ability to adapt, specialise, and deliver measurable results, rather than just “get you to page 1”.
If you do that, you’ve got a good shot. If you go in thinking “old-school SEO only” you’ll find it harder.
