SEO Specialist

SEO Specialist Position

Ranksey is a digital marketing agency located in West Haven, Utah, specializing in Web Design and Search Engine Marketing (SEO/PPC). Our work involves diverse clientele, industries, and project types (including those in the cannabis industry). However, our biggest focus is on e-commerce brands.

Ranksey is a fast-growing, young agency looking for an SEO Specialist to join our team. Our ideal candidate will have a passion for SEO, a proven track record of increasing organic traffic for multiple websites, and a strong understanding of how search engine algorithms work.

This position is a full-time position that will report directly to the SEO Manager. A typical day in this position consists of a lot of independent work, but it also requires a great deal of project management and client-facing collaboration in order to execute SEO strategies. There will be regular Zoom video conferences/meetings with other members of the team for collaboration.

This position will require some content management system experience to implement SEO changes for some of our clients’ websites. For some clients, this position will oversee the implementation of SEO changes that are not performed by us.

This is a remote, work-from-home position. Compensation will be based on experience. Candidates must speak English and be located in the United States. Interviews will take place via Zoom.

As a fast-growing start-up, every hire at Ranksey has a lot of upward mobility and opportunity for advancement within the company. We are looking for individuals who want to grow with us and help shape the future of our company.
