Job Summary

Own and lead the local SEO programs for assigned clients, from strategy to results and client communications.

  • Manage client relationships and run strategy with cross-functional team.
  • Track and verify local performance metrics across calls, form fills and booked jobs.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Be the main point of contact for your clients. They'll know your name, and they'll know you're the one running their account.
  • Build and own the local SEO strategy for each client, then drive it through with our specialists in content, development, Google Business Profile and CRM/automation.
  • Run client calls, send updates before anyone asks, and explain what we did, why we did it and what it moved.
  • Track results by what the client can actually trace: calls, form fills and booked jobs. Verify the numbers across sources before they reach the client.
  • Say the hard thing early. If a month is flat, the client hears it from you first, with a plan attached.
  • Make clean handoffs to the team, keep everyone in the loop and raise the bar for how we work.

Requirements

  • Real, hands-on local SEO experience. You've ranked local businesses yourself, and you can walk us through exactly what you did.
  • Depth across the craft: Google Business Profile, Maps and local pack ranking factors, geo-grid rank tracking, local landing pages and site structure, reviews, citations and NAP consistency, local links, Search Console and GA4, call tracking and lead attribution.
  • A working view on how AI search (AI Overviews, ChatGPT and the rest) is changing how people find local businesses, and what to do about it.
  • Fluent, natural spoken English. Warm, upbeat and easy to talk to. Our clients are business owners who run crews all day. They should come off a call with you in a better mood than they went in.
  • You build rapport fast with people you've just met, on camera and on the phone, and you bring energy to the team as well as to clients.
  • Strong written communication. You can take a technical change and explain it to a busy business owner in two sentences.
  • Ownership. You care about the outcome, not the task list, and you don't wait to be told.
