We are looking for a detail-obsessed, client-facing SEO Manager to own local SEO campaigns for home-service businesses across the US and Canada. You’ll lead strategy, direct web design, and be the main point of contact responsible for increasing qualified leads and revenue.

• Bonuses: Performance-based, tied to client retention and account health

What you’ll be responsible for

• Own the SEO strategy for 20–28 local service clients (plumbers, electricians, roofers, etc.)
• Onboard new clients, set clear expectations, and define goals in terms of leads and revenue, not just rankings
• Direct web design and CRO for local service sites (WordPress + Elementor), collaborating with dev/design/copy
• Lead Local SEO execution: GBP optimization, on-page, internal links, content briefs, and local link-building
• Use Ahrefs, Local Dominator, Nightwatch, GSC, GA4 and our internal tools to track performance and find growth opportunities
• Run monthly strategy calls and send weekly updates summarizing: what we did, what changed, and what’s next
• Ensure all work follows our established SOPs while continuously suggesting improvements
• Work closely with our fulfillment team, communicating quickly and clearly in Slack and internal tools
• Get trained by our senior team on our playbooks, reporting system, and client communication standards

Requirements

• 2–4+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including local SEO for service businesses
• Solid experience with WordPress + Elementor (you can brief devs and make basic edits yourself)
• Comfortable using Ahrefs, GSC, GA4 on a weekly basis
• Understanding of GBP optimization, citations, and local link acquisition
• You speak and write near-native English; you’ll be leading client calls every month
• You can explain technical SEO in simple language to busy, non-technical business owners
• Strong attention to detail; able to manage multiple accounts without dropping the ball
• Reliable, on-time, and responsive during North American business hours
• You enjoy moving fast, taking ownership, and working within clear SOPs
