Google Business Profile Specialist (Local SEO), SEO Agency (Part-Time, Remote)

About Us
We're an Australian SEO agency helping trade and service-based businesses rank higher on Google, no jargon, just results. We're launching a dedicated Google Business Profile service and looking for a specialist who does exactly that: GBP optimisation, day in, day out. If Google Business Profile is your thing, this role is built for you.

• Make clear, proactive recommendations to get each profile performing at its best
• Keep profiles accurate, complete and fully optimised (categories, services, posts, photos, Q&A, reviews)
• Track profile performance and report clearly on results
• Manage your own workload and hit deadlines across several clients at once

Requirements (please read carefully)

• Proven, hands-on experience specifically with Google Business Profile optimisation, this is a must, not an entry-level role
• A track record of improving local map rankings for real clients
• Confident in bringing suggestions and recommendations to the table, we want someone who spots opportunities, not just follows instructions
• Comfortable communicating directly with the business owner
• Self-managing and able to work independently without close supervision
• Highly organised and reliable
• Excellent written and spoken English
• Reliable high-speed internet connection
• A backup power and internet plan, either a generator or reliable access to a nearby café/co-working space, so you can stay online during brownouts

Tools you should know

• Local rank tracking tools such as Local Falcon and BrightLocal (geo-grid local ranking)
• GBP management tools (Google Business Profile Manager, and specialist tools such as GMB Everywhere or Pleper)
• Citation and listings tools, and familiarity with Australian directories (BrightLocal, plus local sources like True Local, Yellow Pages Australia and Hotfrog)
• Ahrefs or SEMrush for keyword and competitor research

Bonus Points (this is what gets you to the top of our list)

• Experience running GBP for trade or service-based businesses
• Experience working with Australian clients or local markets
• Understanding of how citations and on-page support GBP performance
• Experience in a white-label or agency setting
