Bringing transparency to paid media and SEO compensation

We're building SalaryGuide to solve the two biggest challenges we face as recruiters every day: candidates worried they're underpaid, and companies unsure what to offer for specialized roles.

Our Story

Built by recruiters who got
tired of the guessing game

As recruiters specializing in paid media and SEO, we have the same conversations every week:

  • "Is this salary competitive?"
  • "What should we budget for this role?"
  • "Am I being paid fairly compared to the market?"

After years of these conversations and watching great candidates turn down roles over salary uncertainty, we decided to build the solution ourselves. We know what fair compensation looks like from hundreds of placements—now we're creating a platform where everyone can access this transparency.

Why paid media and SEO need their own platform

Generic platforms lump all "digital marketing" together, but we know these roles have completely different compensation structures and career paths.

We focus exclusively on paid media and SEO roles, with transparent breakdowns of exactly what drives compensation: base salary, bonuses, equity, company size, location, and years of experience. No black boxes, no hidden methodology—just real data from real professionals in your exact field.

Building transparency together

For professionals: Stop wondering if you're underpaid. Share your salary anonymously and help build the database that gives everyone real market data.

For companies: Set competitive budgets from day one. Get access to actual compensation data for specialized digital marketing roles.

As the founders of PaidMediaJobs.com and SEOForHire.co, we see both sides of every negotiation. SalaryGuide is our way of giving everyone the data they need to make fair, informed decisions.

Help us build the future of salary transparency

We're just getting started, and we need the community to make this work. Every salary shared helps build a more transparent market for everyone.
