    You can do an "intitle" search in Google for the k/w and find out approximate number

    Your biggest competitor is the one who hasn't yet arrived on the scene..

    SEO by nature is dynamic, fluid and ever evolving with the web, so there'rs no "set in the stone" education, but there are established best practices and few quality courses ( example: by marketmotive - run by avinash kaushik, todd malicot )

    Best way to learn is "hands on" training :)

    Analytics is your friend..

    There are about 50,000 companies in the USA, most of which are small 1-2 person freelance teams. I would say there are probably only about 1000 or so quality companies in the USA, but that's not a fact. Not sure about the world. As for making it as an SEO company, it's more difficult than you think. Anyone can rank someone for a local term- try doing whitehat for an online pharmacy or something. That's where all the money is, in extremely competitive niches. So, people who think they are "great" at SEO, turn out to be hacks.

    by quality companies do you mean that the companies who know there jobs well.
    I have been on freelance sites but as far as i think they are waste of time and money.

    I think there are very few seo professionals in the world who do they job well when i was working a 2 years before in seo
    it was lot easy to do seo but it,s now competitive in the niches also.

    You are so wrong my friend.

    If you want to know there are so many really SEO gurus that are freelancers. My SEO services gives 100% guarantee that your site will be on top positions . And I'm doing a long keep SEO optimization. Not like the "quality companies in the USA" like you say.

    So if you ask me .. Some times is better to get freelancer SEO guru that a Company with 100folks.

    cheers

    There are many SEO professionals. Most of them are on conferences with Search engine owners, and don't use this forum.

    50,000 companies are just your prediction but i think it would be more better than these if you could include all the smallest and the biggest together. I think around millions are working as we cant predict how much in the world.

    It all depends on whom you like to call as seo professional. Those with very little knowledge and 1-2 days experience with websites, they also claim themselves as SEO professional. So its too tough to tell unless have any clear idea.

    There are thousands of SEO pros out there. To go into business in SEO you need a lot of commitment and time as it doesn't pay that well to work freelance. There are lots of places you can learn about SEO. But because it's such a dynamic subject, there can be no formal structure to learning it.

    We can’t guess the number of seo professionals in the world. People not come in this field because many people don’t know about seo jobs. Now a days some seo expert started seo coaching.

    I think there are so many SEO professional in this world. The reason why they don't come in this field, because they know the easiest way of proper education for SEO..:)

    I think the scariest part about SEO's is the fact that so many of you guys are Indian, and you're willing to work for salaries much lower than in the United States.

    You can start by googling "seo professional" and you will start to see individuals, companies and seo freelancers

    It's hard to say estimate that. There are so many SEO professionals from different countries.
