JOB OVERVIEW

We're a Canadian web design + SEO agency serving local businesses.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN
- Running and monitoring OTTO SEO deployments across client sites (titles, meta, schema, internal links, alt text)
- Reviewing and approving held items (like header rewrites) inside Search Atlas
- Keyword rank tracking setup and cleanup
- Google Search Console monitoring (striking-distance keywords, indexing issues, traffic dips)
- On-page + technical SEO fixes in WordPress / SEOPress
- Local SEO tasks (Google Business Profile, NAP consistency)
- Simple monthly client reporting

MUST HAVE
- 2+ years hands-on SEO (on-page, technical, local)
- Comfortable in WordPress
- Strong with Google Search Console and rank tracking tools
- Detail-obsessed, you catch small errors before they ship
- Clear written English, reliable communicator
- Able to work independently and hit deadlines

STRONG PLUS (not required, we'll train)
- Experience with Search Atlas / OTTO
- SEOPress, GTM, schema markup
- SEO for local service businesses (wellness, trades, tourism, fitness)

DETAILS
- Full-time, 40 hrs/week
- Starts at $5 CAD/hour, with increases based on performance
- Long-term role, we want someone to grow into fully owning this

TO APPLY
Reply with:
1. A short note on your SEO experience (tools + types of sites)
2. One example where you improved a site's rankings or traffic (what you did, what changed)
3. Start your message with the word "Okanagan" so I know you read this fully
