We’re looking for an experienced Local SEO Specialist to manage a small portfolio of local home-service businesses, including pest control and similar service industries.
This role is focused specifically on local SEO—not ecommerce, affiliate, SaaS, or nationwide campaigns. There is no sales responsibility and little to no direct client communication.
Responsibilities
- Research, write, optimize, and publish SEO content
- Create and improve service and location pages
- Optimize page copy, titles, headings, metadata, images, and internal links
- Manage Google Business Profile posts and optimizations
- Monitor rankings, traffic, indexing, and Google Search Console
- Investigate ranking declines and recommend solutions based on actual data
- Perform local keyword and competitor research
- Build and maintain citations and relevant local links
- Complete routine technical SEO checks
- Make occasional basic WordPress fixes involving formatting, images, links, and minor layout issues
- Recommend better priorities when the existing task list is not the best use of time to improve rankings
Qualifications
- Hands-on Local SEO experience, preferably with home-service businesses
- Strong understanding of service-area and multi-location SEO
- Experience with Google Business Profile and Google Search Console
- Comfortable using WordPress, GA4, Semrush,
- Able to write or thoroughly edit natural, high-quality content
- Able to investigate SEO problems instead of relying on generic explanations
- Organized, dependable, and capable of managing recurring monthly work independently
We’re looking for someone who can both execute consistently and think critically. Completing the monthly work matters, but so does understanding whether that work is actually improving rankings, traffic, and qualified leads.
