SEO Expert Witnesses
What is an SEO expert witness?
Search engine optimization expert witness candidates (SEO) typically have many years of experience working at a digital marketing agency with expertise in digital marketing, internet marketing, lead generation, social media, computer science, and/or website design. SEO experts also have knowledge in conversion rate optimization, meta tags, keyword research, analytics, domain names, and organic traffic. Search engine expert witnesses have specialized experience in search engine marketing and SEO strategies.
What types of cases require an SEO expert witness?
Cases may involve Yahoo or Google analytics, online defamation, or intellectual property matters.
To grow the quantity and quality of website traffic is the job of a search engine optimization (SEO) program. SEO is aimed at increasing organic search results, as opposed to direct traffic and paid advertising through pay per click (PPC) campaigns. An SEO expert understands search engine rankings, and knows how search engines work, what people search for, why people search, and how people search, including keyword strategy. SEO tactics are part of an overall internet marketing strategy and require a combination of technical and marketing elements.
