As someone in the digital marketing industry, you know the roller coaster ride that is SEO. Over the past few years, you've experienced many ups and downs, witnessed huge changes to the definition of "search engine optimization" and have lived through algorithm update after algorithm update. You understand what it's like to have your strategies work one day and then be completely thrown out the window the next. It's a tough life, but you can roll with it!

The following are just a few of the feelings you've likely experienced on a daily basis as an SEO:

1. When you try to explain to friends and family what you do:

2. When you post a blog that's trendy and on topic.

3. When you get a client who has never done SEO before.

4. When you try to explain how rankings work.

6. When there was a surprise algorithm update over the weekend that you didn’t know about.

7. When your client's site makes it through that algorithm update unscathed.

    This is one of the most entertaining post I have seen. That moment when you try to explain SEO to clients and they still don’t understand.

    Nice post…thank for sharing

    The amount of times i have seen companies promise page 1 rankings is not even worth counting. But i laughed going through the photos most of them are so true.

    Lol not bad last one the most cringeworthy along with the first.. I’ve actually been through the 1st one when my brothers friend ask me what I do.. I was like, I rank websites, they were like “can’t you open the website in browser”…

    I went on tried to avoid convo eventually embarrassing my own self.
