October 3 Is Now Philippines SEO Day

 

It’s time to give Filipino SEO professionals the spotlight they deserve. Starting this year, October 3 will be celebrated as Philippines SEO Day—a day dedicated to the digital heroes behind every search result.

📅 What Is Philippines SEO Day?

Philippines SEO Day is an annual observance every October 3, created to recognize the contributions of Filipino SEO professionals—from freelancers and strategists to educators and business owners.

At the heart of this movement is Jean Diaz Palabrica, better known as Jin Grey—a Davao-based SEO expert who started her journey on January 18, 2008 as a link builder and grew to become one of the most respected figures in the Philippine SEO community.

👑 Why October 3?

Because it’s the birthday of Jin Grey—the SEO Goddess who helped shape the future of SEO in the Philippines.

In her 17-year career, she has:

  • 📈 Helped hundreds of businesses rank and grow

  • 👩🏫 Taught over 1,000 aspiring SEOs and freelancers

  • 🧠 Built JinGrey.com, a learning hub for SEO eBooks and guides

  • 💅 Founded GandangSEO.com, blending beauty and SEO with quirky products like Black SEO Soap, White SEO Soap, and White SEO Lotion

Her mission? To prove that SEO is a real, life-changing career—and anyone can learn it with the right mindset.

💡 Why We Need a National SEO Day in the Philippines

The Philippines is a powerhouse in the global SEO outsourcing scene, yet SEO remains overlooked in schools and government programs. Most SEO professionals here are self-taught, learning from YouTube, eBooks, and forums.

Philippines SEO Day exists to:

  • Celebrate local SEO talent and trainers

  • Encourage the youth to explore SEO as a career

  • Promote the inclusion of SEO in academic and vocational curricula

  • Empower freelancers, moms, OFWs, and career shifters to earn online

🎉 How to Celebrate Philippines SEO Day

  • ✍️ Share your SEO story using #PhilippinesSEODay and #JinGreyDay

  • 🧠 Host or join a webinar, AMA, or online career talk

  • 💬 Give shoutouts to your SEO mentors or clients

  • 🎁 Launch an SEO-themed giveaway, product, or content

  • 🚀 Start learning SEO or teaching it to others

🙌 SEO Is a Career. A Movement. A Revolution.

“This isn’t just about me,” says Jin Grey. “This is for every Filipino who stayed up late debugging a meta tag, fighting an algorithm update, or helping a client get their first sale.”

Let’s make October 3 a milestone. Let’s honor our SEO roots and shape the future of digital marketing in the Philippines—together.
