About the Role
The SEO Specialist is responsible for developing and executing comprehensive SEO strategies, including keyword research, competitive research, self-scouting analysis, link building, content strategy & optimization, and technical SEO, among other things. This role requires a deep understanding of search engine algorithms and ranking factors, standards for “helpful content” as defined by search engines and users, proven experience in driving organic rankings and traffic growth, and strong analytical skills to measure and report on campaign performance. The SEO Specialist collaborates with the content, design, development, and PMM teams to ensure alignment with overall strategy and business objectives. Success for the SEO Specialist role is defined as driving improvements in organic rankings that lead to increases in qualified organic traffic, that is, traffic that leads to an increase in organic purchases.
What You Need to Succeed
You obviously know the h*ck out of Search Engine Optimization. If you eat, drink, and sleep organic search, bring what you know about successful SEO campaigns, and infuse that knowledge into our products, you’ll succeed.
Since you’re a search engine marketer, your project management muscles are awesome, so flex ‘em. Your flair for data analysis and using numbers as a success guide are also key. And your ability to collaborate and communicate with others, including stakeholders and other SEOs, is unmatched.
Tracking KPIs and analyzing outcomes to say what worked and what didn’t will definitely come in handy. Some failure is inevitable, so learning and adapting are great traits.
You’re good at taking into account past outcomes, future forecasts, market research, building business cases, project plans, and SMART goals that improve organic rankings.
Above all, you’re humble, hungry, smart, and proactive. And if you’re that, you’re one of us.
What We Offer
160 hours of PTO annually and two floating holidays (4+ weeks). We also offer a quarterly bonus structure, promotion opportunities, a great 401k (company match FTW!), free mental health and therapy tools, employer-subsidized health/dental/vision plans, and more.
Plus nothing compares to being part of explosive growth and working with some truly remarkable humans. See what they say about working at Veracity: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DT5n7oU0Hi0
