responsibilities
This position is responsible for implementing best SEO practices, collaborating on SEO strategy, and managing day-to-day execution of SEO programs. This position will work closely with other teams across the agency to gather strategic and tactical input, understand objectives, and prepare appropriate solutions for clients, then be able to explain those recommendations to the client and tie them back to the clients goals.
Core Competency Areas
The role spans three critical domains – technical SEO (site architecture, mobile optimization, page speed), content strategy (keyword research, on-page optimization, content creation), and off-site authority building (link campaigns, domain authority improvement). This position requires a solid understanding and curiosity of how SEO has evolved beyond simple keyword stuffing to encompass the entire user experience.
Collaborative Framework
The role heavily emphasizes cross-functional collaboration – working with internal teams, external partners, and client communication. This reflects the reality that effective SEO requires coordination across development, content, marketing, and business strategy teams.
Professional Development Component
We’re curious so we want to help you grow in skills and experience. We’ve got you covered with your choice of Udemy courses and 5 hours/monthly of professional development is yours, given how rapidly search algorithms and best practices evolve. Google alone makes thousands of algorithm updates annually. We’re competitive to stay ahead of the game!
