-- About Studio Progressus
Studio Progressus is a Netherlands-based (Groningen) web design, strategy, and SEO agency. We build and grow websites for our clients on WordPress + Elementor, and run a structured local SEO service built around competitor gap analysis, thematic content silos, and monthly reporting. We work with a distributed Philippines-based team and are looking for one person to own SEO research and reporting independently.
-- The Role
We're looking for an SEO Manager who can run competitor and keyword research in SEMrush and Ahrefs independently, turn that research into our client dashboards without hand-holding, and help keep our SEO service running end-to-end — from prospecting new clients to reporting on existing ones. You'll work closely with our web/design team on-page fixes and support our AI-assisted blogging workflow, but the research and analysis itself should be work you can drive on your own.
--Responsibilities
1. New client research — run full competitor and keyword analysis for prospective SEO clients (who's ranking, how strong they are, what it would take to compete)
2. Opportunity research — identify and analyze opportunities for potential clients we're pitching, to support sales conversations
3. Dashboard maintenance — populate and keep our SEO dashboards up to date with competitor, keyword, and ranking data
4. Website optimization — work with our web design team to implement on-page SEO fixes and improvements
5. Blogging (AI-assisted) — support our AI-driven content workflow to keep client blogs and content silos moving
6. Link building — build backlinks for client sites
7. Monthly reporting & advising — prepare monthly SEO reports for clients and advise on next steps based on the data
-- What You'll Work With
SEMrush and Ahrefs for competitor and keyword research — this is the core skill for the role
Excel-based SEO dashboards (competitor benchmarking, keyword gap analysis, content silo tracking)
SE Ranking / Wincher for rank tracking
WordPress + Elementor (client sites)
Our internal SEO methodology: hyperlocal competitor gap analysis ? thematic content silos ? prioritized content planning
-- What We're Looking For
1. Proven, independent experience running competitor and keyword research in SEMrush and/or Ahrefs — you shouldn't need a template walked through step by step
2. Comfortable building and maintaining structured Excel dashboards from raw research data
3. Understanding of on-page SEO, content/silo strategy, and backlink building
4. Strong written English
5. Self-starter who can be trusted to own a workstream at 4–8 hours/week without close supervision
6. Bonus: experience with AI-assisted content workflows
-- How to Apply
Send a short introduction, your experience with SEMrush/Ahrefs (examples of past competitor or keyword research if possible), and your availability. Please include your expected hourly rate. Also, tell me something about the most challaging SEO projects you worked on and what you did to make them rank.
