Want to learn more about search engine optimization (SEO)?

Then you should learn from the top SEO experts.

Reading the top SEO blogs and publications is a good start. So is attending SEO conferences. But don’t stop there.

SEO is such a giving community. We share strategies, tactics, tips, tools, data, and so much more on social media and at conferences – as well as in articles, research, blog posts.

You will definitely learn something new every day from this list of 140 SEO experts. Follow them if you want a free SEO education.

How This List Was Compiled

The term “SEO expert” is thrown around a lot these days.

Do a Google search for [seo experts to follow] and you’ll find plenty of lists.

Here’s the thing about most of these lists: they’re usually deeply flawed in one way or another.

Why?

Generally, top SEO expert lists:

Are just a sneaky way for an unknown author to get himself or herself on a list filled with experts and look like a big-time SEO expert.
Are published by unknown SEO agencies or companies purely for the purposes of attracting links and shares.
Include people who, while brilliant in other areas of marketing (social media, content marketing, etc.), aren’t really SEO experts.
Include people who no longer are really involved in SEO (or never really were practitioners). For example, while Matt Cutts, the former distinguished engineer who was head of the webspam team at Google, might be great on a list if it were still 2013 – it’s no longer 2013.
Include popular “experts” who share bad information that give the industry a bad name. (We won’t name any names here.)

That’s why I wanted to put together this list of today’s top authorities and experts you should be following if you want to learn about SEO today.

This post isn’t meant to reward everyone who has ever been an SEO professional or includes the acronym SEO in his or her job title. It also isn’t intended to be a popularity content that confuses expertise with social media follower counts.

The people on this list are all actively doing SEO now – or they’re sharing SEO information, knowledge, and insights (either via social media, contributing to publications or blogs, or speaking at conferences).

These SEO people really know their stuff. Follow them if you want to grow your skill set and knowledge.
