SEO salary

These figures come from 118 seo postings where the employer stated pay, covering 7 cities. The single best-evidenced figure is New York at entry-level, where 13 postings put the middle half between $47,000 and $115,000, with a median of $68,000.

Pay rises with seniority. Typical figures run entry-level around $67,000, mid-level around $86,000, senior around $105,000 and lead around $164,000. Moving from entry-level to lead is worth roughly 146% more.

Every range here is counted from real postings, never modelled. 11 of the 15 US-dollar ranges rest on fewer than 10 postings, so treat those as a hint rather than a benchmark; the sample column tells you which.
