B2B SEO Account Manager / Consultant: build the SEO and AI search function for an award-winning B2B comms agency where search, PR, and content work together.
Location - London or Leeds (hybrid)
Salary - £42,000 – £48,000 (DOE and location)
Type – Permanent
About the role
We’re working with an award-winning, fast-growing B2B communications agency whose clients range from global businesses to ambitious scale-ups across technology, engineering, business services and social impact. They don’t keep SEO in a box: search sits alongside PR, content and social, all pulling in the same direction. As the go-to search lead for a portfolio of clients, you’ll own SEO and AI search, setting the strategy, getting hands‑on with delivery and proving impact in the numbers that matter. With AI changing how B2B buyers find and evaluate businesses, you’ll help shape what the agency’s search offering becomes.
What you’ll do
- Build and deliver SEO and AI search strategies tied to each client’s business goals, with clear priorities, timings, budgets and KPIs
- Lead keyword, intent and competitor research, and run technical audits across crawling, indexing, site architecture and structured data
- Get hands‑on in client CMSs improving content, metadata, headings and internal links, and brief developers on bigger changes (then check they’ve been done properly)
- Work with content leads and client account leads on search‑led content, expert commentary and earned coverage that builds authority
- Track and improve how clients show up in AI‑generated answers, from brand mentions to citations
- Be the confident day‑to‑day client lead, presenting recommendations and reporting on visibility, qualified traffic and conversions
- Support the senior team on account profitability, scope and resourcing, and spot opportunities to grow accounts
- Stay ahead of SEO and AI search developments, share what you learn and help shape the agency’s own search offering
What you’ll bring to the table
Experience & background
- 3 – 5 years of hands‑on SEO experience, with results you can point to
- Experience improving or evaluating visibility in AI‑powered search
- Strong knowledge of technical SEO, on‑page, content strategy and off‑page authority building, and how they fit with PR, content, paid, social and CRO
- Confident with GA4, Search Console, Screaming Frog, Looker Studio dashboards and Semrush, Ahrefs, Moz or similar
- Familiar with AI visibility tools like Peec AI, Profound or similar, and an understanding about what they can and can’t tell you
- Solid account and project management. You can juggle priorities, deadlines, scope and client expectations
- A strong writer and confident presenter who turns complex analysis into persuasive recommendations clients act on
Mindset & approach
- Outcome‑focused. You care about leads and conversions, not rankings or traffic in isolation
- Evidence‑led, and clear about what the data does, and doesn’t, say
- Curious about how B2B buyers search, and how AI can make the work smarter without cutting corners on accuracy
- Organised and self‑driven. You prioritise the work that makes a difference and take ownership of it
- A natural collaborator who works well across disciplines and is great to work with
- Entrepreneurial and proactive mindset, looking at how you can improve output and process beyond doing the day‑to‑day
Bonus points
- Agency experience juggling multiple clients
- B2B experience, especially in technology, engineering, business services or social impact
- Experience on integrated campaigns with PR and content teams, and an understanding of PR as a driver of SEO and AI visibility
- International SEO, site migrations, redesigns or new site launches
- A working knowledge of paid search, like Google Ads
