SEO Consultant

You'll need demonstrable knowledge of SEO strategy, as well as technical SEO, keyword research, content planning, and on-page optimisation. You'll use that knowledge to work with key clients across e-Commerce, B2B, tech, SaaS and professional services.

Key responsibilities of the role include working with clients to understand their business goals, analysing their website and markets to spot new opportunities, and helping them to get buy-in for the most valuable SEO projects

Unlike some SEO teams - our team has a keen focus on "Getting Things Done", and making a real impact on clients' business numbers. Joining our team, you will have support at every level to grow your knowledge, ask important questions about why the work is valuable, and to avoid vanity metrics that don't actually help your clients.

One of our goals is for Aira to be the best agency that you've ever worked for and we have created an environment where we do our best work for clients whilst supporting our staff to prosper from their efforts. When someone new joins us, they often say they learn more in the first six months at Aira than they did in their years before. If you're looking to join a happy and high-performing agency - we want to hear from you!

This role is open to candidates commutable distance to our Milton Keynes office and we'd expect to see you in our Headquarters 4 days per week.
