Local SEO Account Manager

We're looking for a talented Local SEO Account Manager to be the primary point of contact for clients. This isn't a hand-off role — you'll own the relationship from strategy to execution. That means meeting directly with clients, diagnosing their local search presence, building a customized strategy, and implementing it yourself. If you love the combination of technical SEO work and building real relationships with business owners, this role was made for you.

What You'll Be Doing

• Serving as the main point of contact for a portfolio of home service and trades clients
• Conducting client onboarding calls, monthly check-ins, and strategy reviews
• Auditing clients' local search presence and building customized SEO strategies
• Optimizing and managing Google Business Profiles
• Implementing on-site SEO improvements (primarily on WordPress sites)
• Building and managing local citations and directory listings
• Monitoring rankings, traffic, and lead metrics — and translating that data into clear client reporting
• Identifying new opportunities to improve client performance and proactively communicating them
• Staying current on local SEO trends, Google algorithm updates, and industry changes

• 3+ years of hands-on local SEO experience
• Strong knowledge of Google Business Profile optimization and management
• Solid understanding of on-site SEO as it applies to small and local businesses
• Experience working with WordPress
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Customer service experience — you genuinely enjoy talking with clients and keeping them informed
• Based in the US, preferably Central or Eastern Time Zone

Preferred:

• Experience in or strong familiarity with the home service or trades industry (HVAC, plumbing, roofing, electrical, garage doors, landscaping, etc.)
• Experience with local rank tracking tools (BrightLocal, Whitespark, etc.)
• Familiarity with Google Local Services Ads (LSAs)
