Newsletters are trendy again these days and even more than before. It seems like everybody wants to share their thoughts in any convenient way. So, you need to be picky with your subscriptions for getting reliable and relevant info in your inbox. However, if you want to save your time and keep up with the SEO world, here is the list of top SEO newsletters that you’ll definitely want to subscribe to.
Research methodology:
We asked Sitechecker subscribers and website visitors to vote for their favorite SEO digest. After that we created infographics based on analysis and summary of the votes. You can view the raw data in this Google Sheet. Our research revealed some interesting facts and worthy-to-subscribe SEO newsletters.
N.B. We asked only the Sitechecker audience to fill in the questionnaire. Our audience primarily consists of SEO beginners and people who have primary not SEO-related jobs. So, the results can be biased, but they are still more than useful for those who are just starting to discover the SEO world. Now, it’s time to share what we discovered via the poll.
A quick summary of our key findings:
- 44.6% of voters subscribe only to 1 or 2 SEO newsletters and only 10.9% prefer not to receive SEO related emails.
- 66% of voters subscribe to SEO digest to get tips and tricks from some of the leading SEO experts and platforms in the industry.
- One of the least voted reasons to subscribe to any SEO newsletter among offered choices is to belong to a community and share experiences between subscribers.
- Periodical subscribers need more practical information than SEO news in their inbox. For example, technical SEO tutorials for beginners, tips for website security or real examples of successful SEO campaigns.
Reasons to check out SEO newsletters
Subscription to the brightest newsletters helps you get rid of the FOMO, gain new knowledge aka real-life cases through your inbox in a timely manner and improve your SEO efforts in the nearest future.
Quality over quantity
Now, there are tons of newsletters in different niches and it’s impossible to read all of them at a time. According to our study, most voters only read 1 or 2 to stay informed about all SEO updates.
We encourage you to choose the amount and the type of subscriptions depending on your role and knowledge in SEO. But, the best option is to choose 3-5 newsletters, test how relevant they are to you, unsubscribe from the ones you don’t like and replace them with better subscriptions in the future.
