SEO T-shirts? What Gives?

We are not the first ones to come up with it, but as SEO specialists who work in digital marketing agencies, we really believe in our craft- the SEO craft that is. We think more people should join the revolution in bringing awareness to are awesome line of work. So we think you should buy an SEO t-shirt.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that you’re in the industry. It could be that:

1. You work for a digital marketing agency
2. You own your own digital marketing agency
3. You’re an SEO freelancer on Fiverr
4. You’re an SEO influencer
5. You make a lot of SEO videos on Youtube
6. You’re into Local SEO
7. You’re an SEO expert

If you’re like most SEO enthusiasts, it seems that once you leave your desk however, the SEO stays put until the next time you come to work. Sure, you may subscribe to some newsletters that reach your email and catch your attention while out and about, but the usual reaction may be, “I’ll check out this article when I get back to work.”

If you follow any motivational speakers, you may have heard their advice to leave work at work.  We’re told that it’s not healthy to always be critically involved in your work during your off-time. Perhaps that’s true, but we dare ask the question:

Is SEO Work? Or is it a Passion?

If you’re an SEO specialist, it’s unlikely you’ve chosen this career because “you had no choice.” Most SEO’s are passionate about what they do. They stay on top of the latest Google algo’s. They have a passion for being the best in their industry. They get nothing but excitement to see the fruit of their labor start to pay off. They get gratification knowing that their customers are loving “whatever it is you’re doing.”

So why is it then, that once we clock out for the day, we don’t talk about it much with our family, our friends, and even strangers during your commutes to work? It’s probably because most people have no idea what you do, even after you explain it to them. After that, we just give up and yield to this reality.

That is why SEO-Swag was created. At SEO-Swag, we are a bunch of digital marketers who are looking for a way to express themselves and share their passion of SEO with others. But it’s not just to catch attention, it’s just that this is what we do. SEO is our life, our bread and butter. SEO has given us the opportunity to provide for our family. SEO has made us rock stars in the digital marketing world. Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to express this passion in other ways?

For this reason, we have created a list of the top reasons why you should rock some SEO swag, in no particular order. Let’s begin.

Reason #1: SEO T-shirts Bring Awareness to Your Passions

SEO t-shirts are unlike anything else. They are very niche. With the right t-shirt that matches your mood or personality, you are liable to catch some unsuspecting eyeballs. And this is a good thing. No more having to tell others “It’s hard to explain” whenever you are asked what you do for a living. Wearing an SEO t-shirt (especially one that’s catchy) will help people begin to finally understand.

Reason #2: You Might Spot Other SEO’s in the Wild

That’s right, Steve Irwin. We’ve already heard it from some of our past customers. They’ve worn an SEO t-shirt, and got approached while out and about by another SEO guy in the industry. This is like the easiest way of networking, all you have to do is wear a t-shirt!  You guys begin to ask each other who you work for, how long you’ve been in the industry, and to share some of your best techniques. You later  exchange phone numbers and become friends, all because of a t-shirt!

Reason #3: SEO T-shirts Are Great Conversation Starters

Even if someone has no idea what the t-shirt means, you still may get asked about it. That is because SEO-Swag t-shirts have humor and personality. Something is funny about the shirt, but they just can’t figure it out. This leads to outstanding conversations. Try one on and see for yourself! They are the best thing since sliced bread.

Reason #4: SEO T-shirts May Land You New Business

Not all business owners are SEO illiterate, you may have noticed. Some know a good bit about SEO and you may have been challenged by one before they decided to hire you. Well, they’re out there too, when you’re grabbing a coffee at Starbucks, going for a jog, or attending your kid’s soccer game. Wear your SEO t-shirt and you may get approached by a business owner who gets the t-shirt SEO reference. They may approach you and tell you their problems of how their website no longer ranks on Google searches. Boom! A perfect opportunity to hand out your business card and land yourself a new lead!

Reason #5: It Makes You an SEO Authority Figure

You can wear your SEO t-shirt at anytime, and depending where you are, you may be given the opportunity to explain the meaning of the t-shirt. To the normal bystander who has no clue how any of this works, you will come off as the authority in SEO you truly are. If you see a person wearing army fatigues from head to toe, it’s most likely a sign that they can probably kick the average butt, right? Shout out to our men and women serving our country ;)

Reason #6: SEO T-shirts Could Have a Sense of Humor

Our certainly are. We also have polo shirts that you can wear as a professional when meeting with a new client, etc… But if you have a sense of humor, so does a lot of our merchandise. You may have to explain the pun to someone who asks, but once they get it, they’ll get the humor too. If you have a good sense of humor, this is the place for you.

Reason #7: SEO T-shirts Go Great With Your Youtube Videos

Are you busy recording another Youtube video on how to do killer keyword research? If you’re a Youtube star, or are heading in that direction, wearing an SEO-swag t-shirt will give your viewers the impression that all you do is eat, sleep and breathe SEO! And it’s probably a true story. Wear a different one for each video and you’ll be sure to get some more likes and subscribes.

Reason #8: You’re Family will Finally Get it

Wearing any of our SEO t-shirts in front of your family will make it easier for them to start understanding exactly what it is that you’re doing for your clients. That is because with the addition of every new t-shirt, there is something to learn! It really does pay off to have family members understand what you do. The next time they have a conversation with another family member or a friend, they may pass the message along that you are an SEO specialist. You never know, it may lead to new business.

Reason #9: SEO t-Shirts Are Great For the Office

Did Someone say casual Friday? If so, be sure to wear one of our awesome SEO-t-shirts. Your co-workers will love it. And it doesn’t stop there. We also offer SEO themed office supplies such as coffee mugs, mouse pads, and much more.

Reason #10: You Can Wear them During Your Zoom Meetings

We’ve come down to the wire. We are sure there are many more reasons, but we’ll leave the last one for perhaps the most obvious. Wear an SEO-t-shirt during your next Zoom call! They can turn boring SCRUM meetings into something you can actually enjoy. People will love what you’re wearing and it’d be a hit for sure!
