I take your point on marking which questions allow multiple answers- will see if I can get this added, if not will definitely make a note of this next time. @Michael- judging by the average company sizes and the additional services offered this suggests many SEOs are too busy worrying about their clients! :) @Aaron- in-house was represented in the survey, however this accounts for 1% (very few responses from in-house SEOs in this sample set). Obviously these statistics will differ greatly when including more in-house SEOs- this is purely based on all of the data we have collected. Would be interesting to ask the same questions to in-house SEOs only and see how the answers differ. @Geoff- Multiple answers were available on some of the questions.

But I'm curious, not having seeing the original survey: was "in-house" not one of the options? Was this solely for SEOs with external clients? If so, wondering why this class was excluded. Thanks for any thoughts on this. I also noticed the error in the stats that ascribed “freelancers” to “agency” – good to see that was corrected.

Do all the figures for the results represent the quantity of people that answered with that answer? Couldn't it have been produced as a percentage (where possible) so that it proves easier to see the split across the industry? I can't really make sense of the results, none of the figures add up (for example: 128 from the world map (Q1) and then 134 from the how many people work in the business (Q3) and then 180 for what is your biggest barrier to sales (Q11)... Where more than one answer could be selected, this could have been specified in small print under the question so that viewers know that the percentage is calculated on a per answer basis rather than out of 100% across all answers. As it currently is, I think the data is just not presented well enough and the results to inconsistent for any real value to be taken away from the survey...
