What drew you to a career in SEO?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>I like that SEO is based on skill and reward rather than just &#8216;buying your way to the top&#8217;. Top rankings are earned rather than bought, and the more work you put in, the better results you reap. This enables small businesses to\u00a0<i>theoretically<\/i>\u00a0outrank a much larger competitor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>2. Can you share one example of an SEO method that is often underrated or overlooked?<\/b><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Optimise your image file names and alt-texts! Google doesn&#8217;t see images, they read them. Use detailed and relevant keywords in your image file names and alt-texts to give Google a better understanding of the content on your page.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>3.
