Senior Local SEO Specialist

$1,300-1,800/month base + $100-$500/month performance bonus

We're a fast-growing SEO agency helping local service businesses dominate search results. Our team is sharp, innovative, and results-driven. We value clear communication and extreme ownership. We stay ahead of our industry with heavy investment in AI systems. We're US-based, serving US clients exclusively.

This isn't just a task-completion role. Our clients are real business owners whose livelihoods depend on results. We need someone who feels the weight of that and operates accordingly: flagging issues early, bringing solutions, and keeping campaigns moving forward without being asked. You'll earn performance bonuses tied directly to problem solving and client retention.
