Hello Katrina,

Welcome to the SEO help forum! It’s wonderful that you’re exploring new career options and considering SEO. However, I’d like to clarify that SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is not a software itself; it’s a practice or strategy.

SEO refers to a set of techniques and practices that aim to improve a website’s visibility on search engines like Google, Bing, and others. The goal of SEO is to optimize various aspects of a website to make it more appealing to search engines, which in turn can lead to higher rankings in search results and increased organic (non-paid) traffic.

While there are software tools and platforms that can assist with various aspects of SEO, such as keyword research, website analysis, and tracking performance, SEO itself is not a standalone software. It involves a combination of on-page optimization (improving elements on your website), off-page optimization (building quality backlinks and online presence), content creation, technical improvements, and more.

If you’re passionate about both web design and SEO, you’ll find that the two can complement each other quite well. A well-designed website that also implements effective SEO strategies can provide a better user experience and increase the chances of attracting organic traffic.

Feel free to ask if you have more questions about SEO or any other career-related inquiries. Good luck with your career transition!
