The role of an SEO Analyst is to analyze a website in order to make it rank higher on the leading search engine platforms like Google, Bing and Yahoo. The Analyst goes though the site architecture and certain other elements like the meta tags to make sure there isn’t any issue which might be detrimental to the rankings of the site. This is called on-page optimization. The analyst also analyzes the links that point to the site, looks for any badlinks and if there is any issue, they take steps to solve them. The job is quite tough and requires a lot of common sense and analytical abilities.
