Becoming obsessed with **search engine optimization** (SEO) can lead you down a rabbit hole if you're not careful. However ignoring **basic SEO concepts** can undermine your music marketing and overall presence on the web. To help you get started or take things further, I've gathered top tips from a series of posts on **SEO for musicians** that should also lead you to additional resources.

I was inspired to do this by music industry and social media linkmaster [Adrian Fusiarski](https://twitter.com/Buzzsonic?ref=hypebot.com) who recently shared a number of links to music SEO articles. I've added a few of my own for what I hope is a helpful mix.
