Local SEO Specialist - Digital Marketing Agency (Full-Time)

About Us

Galaxy Growth Media is a fast-growing local SEO agency serving home service businesses across the United States (pool cleaners, landscapers, car detailers, etc.). We run a productized, systems-driven SEO model focused on what actually moves rankings - not busywork.

We're intentionally lean with a small, high-performing remote team. The owner is very hands-on and you'll work directly with him daily.

Position Overview

This is a full-time strategic SEO role, not a checklist executor position. You'll own SEO diagnosis, quality control, and strategic direction for client accounts. You won't be doing repetitive tasks - we have automations for that.

Your job is to think, analyze problems, and ensure our clients' websites and Google Business Profiles are actually ranking and driving leads.

- Diagnose why client websites aren't ranking or getting indexed (technical issues, keyword targeting problems, competition analysis)
- Conduct monthly strategic audits on map rankings - not just checking boxes, but identifying what's working and what's broken
- Review and QA work completed by our website builder to ensure technical SEO standards are met
- Set up new client websites with proper keyword targeting and service area structure
- Identify ranking trends across clients (algorithm updates, seasonal shifts, competitive changes)
- Provide clear, actionable recommendations to our CSM and directly to the owner
- Catch problems BEFORE clients wonder what's happening - proactive monitoring and quality control

What You Won't Be Doing

- Google Business Profile posting (automated)
- Blog writing or content creation
- Manual citation building
- Heavy client communication (handled by our CSM)

Requirements

- 2-3 years proven SEO experience (agency background strongly preferred)
- Strong understanding of local SEO, Google Business Profiles, Google Search Console, and ranking factors
- Technical SEO skills: can diagnose indexing issues, crawl errors, site speed problems, mobile issues
- Comfortable working in WordPress (basic edits, plugin management—no design required)
- Experience with SEO tools (Map Ranking Tools such as Local Falcon, preferred)
- Critical thinker—you can look at a site and immediately identify what's wrong
- Detail-oriented and organized—you catch mistakes others miss
- Strong written and verbal English communication
- Self-motivated and proactive - you don't wait to be told what to do

Who This Is For

Someone who has DONE SEO work before and can hit the ground running
Someone who enjoys problem-solving and strategic thinking, not repetitive tasks
Someone looking for full-time stable work with a growing U.S. agency
Someone comfortable working independently but also collaborating daily with a small team

Who This Is NOT For

- Checklist executors who don't like analyzing or diagnosing problems
- People looking for part-time or project-based work
