SEO Executive

We've been retained by an established digital marketing agency in Essex to help them recruit a SEO Executive to join its close-knit team. Working with both B2 B and B2 C clients, the agency delivers SEO, ecommerce and content campaigns across sectors including healthcare, automotive, logistics, education, financial services, property and technology.

The Company - SEO Executive

This is a friendly, collaborative agency with a strong track record and a varied client base. The team works closely together, sharing ideas and focusing on activity that delivers meaningful, sustainable results. They also take a refreshingly grown-up approach to working life. The role offers two days a week from home alongside flexibility around working hours when needed. People are trusted to manage their schedules and get their work done without unnecessary formality.

The Role - SEO Executive

This is a varied SEO role covering content, optimisation, reporting and technical work. You'll create and improve content for clients, help develop keyword strategies and use performance data to understand what is working and where improvements can be made.

There is also a technical side to the position. You'll carry out audits, identify issues that could be affecting organic performance and work with developers to put fixes in place.

The agency is already considering how search is changing as a result of AI. You'll therefore have the opportunity to build your knowledge of AI search optimisation alongside more traditional SEO techniques.

Key Responsibilities - SEO Executive

About You - SEO Executive

You'll already have some practical SEO experience, either within an agency or an in-house marketing team. You should understand the principles of keyword research and content optimisation alongside the technical basics that can affect how a website performs in search.

You'll also be a capable writer with a good eye for detail and the confidence to edit and improve existing content. Experience with tools such as Semrush, GA4, Screaming Frog and Google Search Console would be useful as would experience using WordPress or Shopify.

You don't need to know everything about AI search already, but you should be interested in how search is developing and keen to learn more.

Above all, you'll be someone who takes responsibility for their work, enjoys being part of a small team and appreciates being trusted to manage their time properly.

The package includes performance-related bonuses, private health insurance with dental cover, paid time off over Christmas in addition to the standard holiday allowance and funded opportunities to attend industry events and develop new skills.
