    Thank you, Sarah and Sophie, for sharing your conversation! One question ~ what is an SEO editor?

  2. @SB Sarah says:

    @Kareni: An SEO editor reviews the copy and especially the headline for Search Engine Optimization (SEO). The SEO editor wants to make sure that the writing is clear and has keywords that make it easier for people to read and for search engine crawlers to index.
