By the way, this list of global SEO marketing experts is the largest among those that are in the search results🦾

We at Collaborator are actively developing into Western markets: we add sites to the catalog and attract advertisers from all over the world. Therefore, follow SEO bloggers and influencers — not only about «interesting», but also about «useful».

Grouped by country. We focused on the location indicated by the expert on LinkedIn. This is a business social media, so we believe that the information is relevant.

The territorial criterion was taken as the main one, the rating was not made within the country, because it is difficult to objectively determine the expertise of each person, because each specialist and each person's experience can be indicative.

Who is on the list: interesting observations 

The most experts are from the USA — 50%, followed by Great Britain and Ireland — 24%. Geographically, our list includes mostly Americans and Europeans, less from Asia and Australia. 70% of our list is men.

Social media. For each surname, we listed the social channels that were listed on LinkedIn, Twitter, or the Blog. We have the following situation:

• the most popular social media for English-speaking SEO professionals are LinkedIn (97%) and Twitter (95%),
• 89% of users indicated a blog in their accounts. However, we are talking about both personal business card sites and blogs/company sites. And also author pages on specialized expert resources, for example, SEJ.
• a third of bloggers from our list have Facebook, and YouTube channels about SEO are run by every fifth.
• the least SEO-friendly social media is Instagram, only 12% of experts have their pages here.
