You will perform a variety of SEO-related tasks, including but not limited to keyword research, on-page SEO optimization, content brief preparation, site audits, local SEO, and backlink profile building. You will also be tasked with identifying SEO errors and opportunities using Google Search Console and third-party tools, managing technical SEO changes with developers, performing content audits, and creating monthly reports to help us analyze and improve SEO performance.
The Opportunity:
Triaging requests related to job scope and ensuring smooth communication between stakeholders, including acting as a point of contact between clients and the website development team
Researching and prioritizing SEO keywords to align with business objectives, grouping them into clusters, and presenting actionable recommendations.
