This Position Is Perfect For You If…

You take ownership of your work.

You don’t wait for instructions—you take initiative, solve problems, and ensure things get done. In our small-business environment, everyone plays a key role, and accountability is a must.

You thrive in a fast-paced, hands-on role.

You’re comfortable juggling multiple projects, from managing SEO strategies to leading a team. You can adapt quickly and prioritize effectively to drive results.

You are a strategic thinker with a hands-on approach.

While you can build high-level SEO strategies, you’re also willing to dive into the details—whether it’s optimizing content, analyzing data, or troubleshooting technical SEO issues.

You are detail-oriented and results-driven.

You focus on metrics that matter—traffic growth, rankings, link-building success, and lead generation—and continuously refine strategies to improve performance.

Our hiring process is made up of four parts, so please be aware that you will need to dedicate time for a questionnaire, a video, and two 1-on-1 interviews.

Thank you for taking the time to consider this position. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
