SEO:
1. the process of improving the volume or quality of traffic to a web site from search engines via “natural” or un-paid (“organic” or “algorithmic”) search results
2. “search engine optimizers,” a term adopted by an industry of consultants who carry out optimization projects on behalf of clients, and by employees who perform SEO services in-house.
ChicagoSEO.org is a website dedicated to helping to educate regional SEOs from the Chicagoland area on topics related to search engine optimization, and an online community in which SEOs from Chicago can share best practices and network with professionals in the area.
In September 2007, Chicago SEO Bryson Meunier started the Chicago Search Engine Optimization Meetup, a local group with similar aims. The group grew to over 400 professionals interested in search engine optimization in Chicago, and is still growing. This website is an extension of this Meetup group.
