SEO Consultant | South Manchester | £45,000 DOE
Looking to take full ownership of SEO strategy rather than just execution? Want to work in a close-knit agency where your opinion actually shapes client outcomes?
If so, this could be worth a look.

This well-established, fast-growing marketing agency based in South Manchester is known for delivering commercially focused digital strategies that genuinely move the needle for clients.
Working as a true consultative partner, the team prides itself on going far beyond box-ticking SEO. Everything they do is proactive, strategic, and rooted in driving measurable growth.
While the agency has a strong footprint across ecommerce and professional services, they work with a varied client base, keeping the role interesting and diverse.
You'll be joining a supportive, collaborative environment where quality of work and autonomy are genuinely valued.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
