Technical Definition
In-house SEO refers to having SEO professionals employed directly by the company. Benefits: deep business knowledge, close team integration, long-term focus. Challenges: limited external perspective, resource constraints, staying current with industry. Often works with agencies for specific projects. Requires internal advocacy and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Simple Explanation (ELI13)
In-house SEO means having SEO people as employees rather than hiring an agency. They know your business deeply and work closely with other teams. The challenge is staying up-to-date with SEO changes and having limited outside perspective. Many companies use a mix of in-house and agency support.
