We are seeking a freelance SEO manager who understands the nuances of search engine optimization, including technical audits, keyword research, on-page optimization, content strategy, link building, analytics, and reporting — all firmly rooted in data and real world experience of what works.
If using data to squeeze every last drop of value out of SEO campaigns is your cup of tea, you've come to the right place. Our goal for all of our clients is to make a real, meaningful impact on their businesses and this is a crucial role in that mission.
Sound like a good fit? Please send us a brief 2 - 3 sentence write-up of three successful SEO campaigns you've ran along with relevant metrics along with your application.
What you'll need:
- 5+ years of experience managing SEO campaigns
- Proven, concrete results from successful SEO campaigns
- Fluency in SEO best practices with strong analytical skills to interpret data and make data-driven recommendations
- The ability to slice, dice, puree, and analyze data to find and prioritize keywords, optimize content, improve internal and external link profiles, fix indexation issues, develop custom schema, recommend programmatic redirect and canonical strategies, etc. etc. etc.
- Excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with interdisciplinary teams
Why work with us?
First and foremost, we're easy to work with and very flexible. Give us realistic deadlines for the projects you're on and we're often able to adapt our project schedules accordingly. Our expectation is that you will do what you say you're going to do, when you say you're going to do it, but beyond that basic accountability, you'll have full autonomy to work when you want to work and take on only the projects (or parts of projects) that you want to.
We keep both internal and client meetings to a minimum to keep everyone focused on doing the work that matters, though the occasional briefing, brainstorm, collaborative working session, etc. are helpful and we're always available to meet when you need guidance, feedback, or more information.
We're also selective about the clients we take on and make sure we have values alignment and a clear path to ROI. That keeps everyone happier in the long run. In the very (and increasingly) rare occasions when we've had a less than ideal client slip through the cracks, we've fired them. We're willing to take a hit when it comes to keeping our team happy.
Our employees and contractors report (and yes, we do measure it) enjoying their work, feeling appreciated and well compensated, and typically stay with us for 2 - 4 years. We haven't had a firing or resignation in years and the primary reason contractors leave is to take full time jobs when that has become necessary and we've been unable to hire on a full-time basis. (which we fully support and will happily be references for).
Finally, you will learn a uniquely customer-driven approach that's validated by data and you'll actually get to see the concrete impact of your work in quantifiable, brag-worthy reports that are shared with the entire team. We love sharing knowledge and helping everyone on our team in their professional and personal development.
