SEO Manager & Assistant

About us
We're a local SEO agency that helps home-service and local businesses dominate their maps and local search results. We run a tight, systems-driven operation: clear SOPs, modern tools, and AI in the workflow. We're not looking for someone to reinvent the wheel — we're looking for a reliable right hand who can run our proven playbook across a portfolio of clients, keep every account moving forward, and flag problems before they become fires.
The role
This is a semi-autonomous account assistant role. You won't just execute one-off tasks — you'll own the day-to-day health of a set of local SEO client accounts. We'll train you on our systems and give you SOPs for everything. Once you're ramped, you'll run recurring work on your own, spot issues, and only pull us in when something needs a real decision. If you like ticking boxes, hitting deadlines, and seeing rankings climb because of work you kept on track, you'll do well here.

A typical week
Monday you review every account and line up the week's tasks. Midweek you're publishing content, updating GBP listings, and responding to reviews. Toward month-end you're pulling rank data and building client reports. Throughout, you're checking the master sheet, updating statuses, and messaging us with a short daily or end-of-week summary of what got done and what needs a decision.
