Search marketers are less happy with their jobs than last year, according to Search Engine Land’s 2024 Salary and Career survey. Of note:

• 67% of search marketers are extremely or somewhat satisfied with their job, but this number is down from 76% in 2023.
• Job dissatisfaction increased to 20%, up from 13% a year ago.

Our survey also revealed that the gender pay gap increased, as well as the average salary ranges of search marketers – including how seniority and other factors may influence higher compensation.
