When did SEO start?

[Raymond Perez]

Hi guys! When did SEO starts? Is there a history, person or group of people invent or coined SEO?

SEO's concept has evolved significantly since the early days of the internet. SEO as a formalized practice really began in the mid-1990s with the growth of search engines like Yahoo!, AltaVista, and Google.

SEO as a practice started around 1995, but it has evolved significantly, especially with the rise of Google and its changing algorithms. It's no longer just about keyword optimization; it's now a multi-faceted discipline that includes technical SEO, content strategy, user experience, and building authority.
