Link development
Link development is a big part of SEO success because authority metrics are still the backbone of search engine algorithms.

Editorial creation
Content will continue to be an invaluable part of the SEO mix.
Editorial creation
The ideal is to build an editorial team composed of writers approaching subjects with a journalistic perspective.
The content strategy is then derived from the strategist, who understands the goals of the business.
Graphics and Rich Media
Google increasingly rewards creative multimedia experiences because they generate strong engagement signals.
This is why the content must stand out in a world where pages are produced in multitudes.
Foster strong collaboration between the SEO strategy team, editorial creation, and graphics for maximum results.
Tools to use:

SEMrush
UI / UX
User interface/user experience (UI / UX) trumps all web marketing.
Google increasingly understands the quality of user experience on web pages, and these are rewarding sites that meet page experience metrics.
All types of pages can rank better with strong UI / UX.
So, the SEO team needs someone to represent the increase in traffic of certain UI / UX strategies versus other UI / UX needs.

Web development
The web development team is responsible for implementing changes driven by the SEO Strategist Roadmap, designed by guidance from the UI / UX team and endorsed by eCommerce managers or experience of the site.
One of the biggest obstacles to success is a failure to consistently release this chain of resources.
Analytics and technology
By bringing together historical and current performance data, the Analytics & Technology team powers the insight engine of the SEO strategy team.
In SEO, one needs to look at the page level and page type, as well as brand and non-brand, to understand performance.
The more we can marry these things together, along with keyword rankings, the more powerful the strategy will be.
Advances in SEO technology are optimizing A / B testing, crawling ability, and automation.
Tools to use include:
Google analytics
Google Search Console
Supersymmetry
BigQuery

Google Tag Manager
Google Data Studio
SEO needs to change over time
The SEO strategist has to do a lot of research and planning.
Most optimizations start with working on the page - setting up the site architecture as it should.
The biggest factor that will influence the structure of the SEO team is the budget allocated to the program each year.
