45+ Amazing SEOs to Follow on Twitter

Jonas Sickler, Digital Marketing Analyst


Key Points

  • The SEO community on Twitter can help you learn more about search and build your personal SEO brand.
  • Look beyond the biggest names with the most follows, and seek out voices that provide the most value.
  • Don’t lurk, engage. There are no dumb questions, and the best way to learn is to ask why.

What the heck are shout-outs?

Terakeet core values: teamwork, grit, excellence, partnership, impact

Terakeet has a unique company culture centered around five core values: integrity, entrepreneurship, invention, sustainable value, and rapid response.

What I love about these values, is that they aren’t just a page in a brand book. They live within each employee. These values guide our hiring decisions, drive our delivery methodology, and fuel business growth — for both individuals as well as the company.

But here’s the best part:

We keep our core values front and center by honoring them at our company-wide meeting every Friday through something we call shout-outs. This is an opportunity for anyone to recognize a peer within the company who demonstrated one of our core values throughout the week.

Shout-outs are organic, sincere, and sometimes spark happy tears. Being told you’re appreciated in front of more than 300 people — including our co-founders and company president — is pretty cool. It brings meaning to what we do and makes the challenges we all face in search engine optimization (SEO) worth tackling.

Traditionally, I only shout out other Terakeet employees. But, I wanted to break that mold and personally recognize a group of SEOs on Twitter who have given me much more than I’ve given them. In my opinion, everyone on this list has demonstrated at least one of our core values, especially entrepreneurship and invention (I’m looking at you Pythonistas).

Here’s just a handful of the more memorable topics we recently discussed:

  • Most SEOs struggle with imposter syndrome at some point.
  • It’s incredibly difficult to be a minority in the SEO industry.
  • There are so many supportive communities for mentoring.
  • Everyone’s an expert at something, and nobody knows everything.

How this SEO Twitter list came together

I started actively participating in SEO Twitter discussions in late 2020, and I immediately found an incredibly supportive community. There was a ton of knowledge sharing happening in the digital fabric of social media that I’d been missing out on, including podcasts, interviews, Twitter chats, and mentoring within supportive groups like Women in Tech SEO.

The more I connected with SEOs on Twitter, the more I wanted to recognize individuals for the value they were bringing to the community every day.

Then, SEJ published a massive list of 202 SEOs to follow on Twitter. Their list included some of the biggest names in search who helped build the industry into what it is today. And you should definitely follow everyone they mentioned.

But, it wasn’t the whole story.

There were so many search professionals who didn’t make their list, yet deserved recognition. So, I decided to write an extension of the SEJ list, and the response was extraordinary. What inspired me the most, is that people weren’t recommending themselves for my list, they were nominating their peers in true Terakeet shout-out style.

Armed with hundreds of names, I needed to make some tough decisions. I wanted a shorter list of around 50 folks with some personal anecdotes. So, here’s the methodology I used to build this list:

  • Must tweet regularly and recently
  • Must tweet about SEO frequently
  • Must provide personal commentary, not just retweets
  • Must not be on the 2021 SEJ list

I specifically did not use follower count as a filter for this list. If I get value from someone, and they meet the criteria above, they’re on my list.

Let’s get to it!

Daniel K. Cheung

@danielkcheung

Daniel’s SEO journey came out of necessity. He was a wedding photographer for almost 10 years, and he needed to figure out how to get his business in front of marrying couples. However, he didn’t become a professional SEO until recently. After being a business owner and living the freelancer lifestyle for so many years, Daniel wanted a dependable salary, so he reached out to an agency owner for a job.

Daniel tends to retweet SEO content more than compose tweets himself. However, he does share new episodes of Make SEO Simple Again — an inspiring podcast where he explores the personal stories behind SEOs, rather than talk shop. I absolutely love his podcast. If you enjoy stories about people and SEO, give it a listen!
