^It depends. Most of the files I have of models are pre-2004 or so, and agencies didnt do the best jobs collecting information. So some files I have are very thorough - others it is like a student ID. It is more common (at the moment) for those who do adult modeling shoots to have their files packaged up like that though.
SEO relates insofar as if you search your name and you find your name is on the first page of google as "this girl is naaaaked on the internet!" and you want to bury it. A SEO technique for things you want the internet to push back in your search results is "the solution to pollution is dilution".... like getting your own site, vanilla blog, public social networking sites, ensuring youre using every SEO trick to bury the "naughtiness" with mainstream amazingness so you can more easily deny it is you... or pretend you didnt even know that your name is attached to something XXX.
It isnt a guarantee that no one will ever find it of course (use Porn WikiLeaks as an example) since the internet sucks that way, but if you have a distinct name and some jerkoff decides to out you, being proactive can help. Especially if you dont plan to be in the adult industry your whole life. If you have a vanilla presence online that is rock solid - a few blemishes are easier to deny then if you have no internet presence besides porn.
It is like a slight risk reduction approach to the obsessive (and permanent) archiving of the internet age, I guess. It isnt a guarantee, but it helps to feel more empowered - it provides more options then "ho hum ya got naked online, so here is your Scarlet letter for life"
Or if youre just generally ahead of the curve - like Facebook's constant "well we'll leak all ofyour private info if you dont remember to opt out!" updates. It can feel reassuring to feel more proactive than reactive.
At least for me it helps, especially since the internet is constantly changing. Growing pains are for afterschool specials, not sex work

and Ive had one too many.
