This role is ideal for someone with 1–2 years of experience in local SEO and GBP optimization who’s ready to take ownership of a portfolio of client accounts.

We are expecting to pay approximately $1,000 – $1,500 USD/month (PHP 56,000 – PHP 84,000), with opportunities to earn more by expanding your portfolio of client accounts or earning performance-based bonuses based on results you generate for your clients.

If you’re the type of person who loves the challenge of helping clients own their local market and wants to celebrate with them as their rankings rise, calls increase, and revenue grows, then you should keep reading.

WHO WE ARE (AND WHO WE HELP)

At Curve SEO, we help local businesses own their neighborhood. From home services and health & wellness providers to restaurants, salons, and other community favorites — we make sure our clients are the go-to choice when customers search in their area.

We’re not a generalist firm. We specialize in Google Business Profile (GBP) optimization and management, with the singular goal of helping our clients:

• Appear at the top of local search results,
• Show up more frequently in AI search queries,
• Generate more inbound calls, and
• Turn local visibility into paying customers.

We use AI-powered tools and streamlined systems to help our tea ---------- mbers manage multiple client accounts efficiently — without burnout or sacrificing quality.

We’re a small, collaborative team that values skill mastery, schedule autonomy, and generating meaningful results for our clients.

You’ll never deal with corporate politics or micromanagement. Just a collection of smart, motivated people working together to help local businesses grow.

YOUR ROLE: DAY-TO-DAY ACTIVITIES

You’ll be the trusted partner behind several small businesses’ online growth. That means managing and optimizing their Google Business Profiles, monitoring performance, and finding new ways to improve visibility and results.

You’ll be responsible for owning and managing multiple client accounts, but we’ll always be hyper-aware of your bandwidth.

We’ll never overextend you — we’d rather have a smaller number of happy clients than risk quality or your well-being.

Here’s what your day-to-day activities will look like:

• Optimize and manage Google Business Profiles (GBP) for multiple clients
• Post weekly updates, photos, and Q&As to keep profiles active and engaging
• Monitor local rankings, call volume, and engagement metrics
• Respond to and manage customer reviews in alignment with each client’s brand voice
• Research and recommend local keywords and content topics that drive visibility
• Prepare simple monthly reports to highlight progress and opportunities
• Collaborate with our internal team to improve systems, templates, and processes

And here’s what you WON'T have to do (unless you want to!):

• Worry about finding or selling new clients
• Sit through pointless meetings with tea ---------- mbers or clients
• Submit timesheets or chase down unpaid invoices
• Stifle your creativity and be forced to “follow the plan”
• Work specific hours or track and report your work time

Your focus will be simple: help our clients win locally, deliver great results, and make a measurable impact every month.
