Background:

The SEO Collective has evolved from the original Melbourne SEO Meetup, which was started by David Ivanow. Throughout the years it was run by Chris Burgess, Peter Mead, Pam Meagher and Saijo George. SEO Collective today has blossomed into a vibrant hub for SEO enthusiasts to share ideas, discuss strategies, and establish connections in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane with over 3,000 members.

Our vision is to create a conducive environment where everyone, from business owners to SEO professionals, can learn and grow. We encourage thought-provoking discussions, shared learning, and a collaborative approach to navigating the challenges of digital and web marketing.

Whether you're a seasoned SEO consultant, a business owner keen to enhance your digital acumen, or a member of a larger agency, you'll find value in the SEO Collective Meetup.
