Happy New Year. Just a quick update: I've resigned my in-house SEO job and accepted a Sr. SEO Manager position at New Media Strategies, an agency specializing in online intelligence and word of mouth marketing.
It's an exciting opportunity for me to do exactly what I want to be doing at this point: to identify new opportunities/attract new clients, work on a variety of projects, and build an SEO practice from the ground up.
One of the last things I wanted to do before I start my new job is to help recruit for the in-house position I'm vacating.
Here's what the company will need the ersatz SEO superstar to do:
Key Responsibilities of the Position:
- Recommend and manage content development strategies.
- Monitor trends in search engine algorithms and searcher behavior to identify new opportunities.
- Optimize web pages including copy, meta tags, alt tags, and streamlining code for SEO.
- Maximize the shelf space on search engine results pages (SERPs)
- Deliver quantifiable results measured against concrete revenue goals
- Work with development teams to improve site architecture for SEO
- Educate developers and designers about factors that influence crawlability and rankings, allowing them to understand how their decisions impact SEO
It's posted under the title
SEO Manager on LinkedIn, where you can also apply. Oh, and by the way, if you're curious about
how much SEOs earn, the SEMPO in-house salary survey just came out.
I'm also taking on more freelance clients (obviously where the projects wouldn't pose any conflicts of interests).
If you're interested either in learning more about the SEO position or in hiring me for a small scale SEO contract project, look me up on
LinkedIn and send me a message.
p.s. Take a look at these
SEO interview questions to make sure you rock the interview.
