Feeling stuck in SEO and looking for a growth
Posted by on October 7, 2025 at 11:51 amHello everyone,
I’ve been working as an SEO Executive for almost 11 months now. Most of my work has been focused on off-page SEO, creating backlinks through bookmarking, classifieds, article submissions, directories, business listings, and some more etc. Occasionally, I also handle on-page tasks like optimizing meta titles/descriptions in WordPress or Shopify, checking H1 usage, and monitoring indexing issues.
Lately, I feel like I’m not really growing in this role. The company mainly wants us to build backlinks and do some basic meta optimization, but in some projects there’s been little to no improvement in rankings. This eventually is letting me to question that only this much of SEO isn't enough for ranking websites.
I know there’s much more to SEO, like structured data, featured snippets, technical SEO, and advanced content strategies. I’ve only been hearing about these in interviews and would like to actually learn and apply them.
So I’d really appreciate advice from experienced SEO professionals:
What skills do you think I should focus on next?
Are there any good free courses or resources (preferably hands-on) that you’d recommend for leveling up in SEO?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!
