No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
SEO is a growing part of Lane's offering. As part of the team you'll work under the direction of the Senior SEO Manager to align on strategy and methodology, while running the day-to-day relationship and delivery for your own client roster.
The SEO Manager will:
- Manage the day-to-day relationship and delivery for an assigned client roster, including calls, reporting, and account management, following Lane's SEO approach.
- Lead keyword research and content briefing in collaboration with the content team, translating findings into actionable recommendations.
- Communicate SEO performance and recommendations directly to clients, including pushing back on unreasonable asks where the data doesn't support them.
- Tie SEO work to commercial outcomes for clients, not just rankings and traffic movement.
- Evaluate AI search visibility as an extension of core SEO fundamentals, not a separate discipline.
- Provide a clear status of client SEO activity, ensuring we're consistently adding value to each client's position.
- Support the Senior SEO Manager in spotting and developing SEO opportunities across the wider client base.
- Run and interpret technical SEO audits using primary data from tools like Ahrefs, GSC, and GA4.
