Anna Crow, SEO, Specialist, Alludo
You’re an in-house SEO professional working with dev and product teams. But you just can’t get your recommendations implemented.
As an in-house SEO professional, do any of these sound familiar:
- You don’t understand the development and product team processes.
- You find it hard to communicate your SEO recommendations clearly.
- You can’t get buy-in from developers and product managers.
- You’re unsure how to plan or scope SEO projects once signed off.
- You need to write effective SEO dev tickets to get recommendations implemented.
A challenge for in-house SEO professionals joining or working alongside development and product teams is a lack of knowledge of working effectively with them.
These skills aren’t taught in SEO teams. But companies are actively looking for these skills.
For example, an analysis of SEO job descriptions in tech teams shows that companies are looking for SEO professionals with ownership, communication and execution skills:
- “Support the SEO team in developing and executing big bets for our marketplace” – G2 (source)
- “Assess and prioritise growth opportunities and create a plan to execute on ideas.”- Canva (source)
- “Excels at communicating with team, partners, and senior leadership with clarity, salience, and urgency.” – Zoro (source)
- “Be accountable for implementing, driving, and optimizing global SEO strategy & roadmap.”- Optimizely (source)
- “You have exceptional independent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, flexibility, and ability to collaborate with others and to work in a fast-paced environment.” – Reddit (source)
To successfully work in product and development teams long-term, an SEO professional must invest in ownership, execution and communication skills.
As a Senior SEO professional, I thought I had the right skills to be successful when I joined a product and development team.
I learned the hard way that I was dead wrong.
I had to navigate a new set of unspoken rules, responsibilities and working methods to get projects implemented. It was as if everyone had read a rulebook for a game I had no idea how to play.
I needed to play catch up.
I binge-watched YouTube videos, read product books, and subscribed to newsletters. I had to shift my mindset and learn new skills to navigate these internal nuances. All the while applying and testing new communication, execution and ownership skills as I went.
It was intense. But worth it.
I started to understand the unspoken rules and language of the product and development teams. The systematic processes became clear. My initiatives started to become prioritised and implemented.
The experience made me realise that there is a skills gap in the SEO industry.
That is why I made the SEO Product Ownership course.
The course teaches SEO professionals ownership, execution and communication skills to succeed long-term in a product and development team.
It focuses on helping SEO professionals learn to work with dev and product teams to implement SEO recommendations.

Hi, I’m Adam Gent, and I’ll be your course instructor
I’ve spent over 12 years working in agencies and in-house roles. I’ve worked with various companies like DeepCrawl, Ladbrokes Sports, bathstore and Glassdoor.
As a Product Manager working in-house, I noticed a lack of resources to help SEOs navigate the chaos of working in tech teams. In this role, I gained the skills and know-how to work directly with developers to get things done.
Now as an independent consultant, I help companies identify impactful technical SEO strategies and get these projects executed by technical teams.
This course tries to distil down everything I’ve learned as a Product Manager to help SEO teams get things done.
