SEO Executive

Are you an SEO Executive looking to build your experience across content, technical SEO and search strategy? Would you like to join a successful agency that offers genuine flexibility and trusts its team to manage their work whilst offering heaps of scope for development and progression.

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 B2B and B2C 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.
