accelerate agency specialises in SaaS SEO fueled by a combination of human expertise, data analysis, and automation.
Our skills lie in the strategic use of content, SEO, large-scale outreach and link building to get our clients organic results that match paid performance channels.
We’re about finding the leanest, most efficient and effective routes to get there. Forget the old agency adage of ‘pulling a late one’ - we’re all about working smarter, not harder while respecting our colleagues’ work life balance.
Job Description
This is a Remote/Hybrid role.
About You
As an SEO Manager, you will be client facing when required but as you’ll be working with the client manager, you’ll not need to do any account management. Instead, you’ll be the subject matter expert in the room, brought on to talk through what’s needed to deliver results.
You’ll also need to pick up some hands-on technical SEO work, that might include anything from a site health check to a domain migration, but you’ll have execs to support with this work. This also means you’ll be able to train other SEO’s and help improve our processes.
Responsibilities of the Role Include:
1. Working with clients and the Head of SEO to define KPIs in order to create the correct SEO strategy to achieve the defined KPIs.
2. Developing complete strategies for our SaaS clients that incorporate on-page SEO, content production, technical SEO, and link building.
3. Delegating work to our internal stakeholders, whether they be content writers, outreach, technical or SEO executives to ensure all resources are working in line with your strategy and delivering results.
4. Conducting in-depth keyword research and keyword analysis.
5. Performing in-depth SERP analysis.
6. Defining the correct content approaches for our clients, identifying keywords to rank for, content types needed, and strategies to rank that content.
7. Assisting with creating client reports and providing insights (our preference is Data Studio, but we’re open to alternatives).
8. Training new strategists and identifying knowledge or skill gaps and proposing how to fill those gaps.
9. Forecasting and projecting work needed, collaborating with the project manager to understand resource requirements.
10. Working with the Head of SEO on improving current processes and defining new ones.
11. Collaborating with the client manager on client retention and upselling presentations.
