Experienced SEO Account Manager wanted

[petera]

Hi folks, we're a Leeds Based Digital agency and we're currently looking to recruit an experienced SEO Account Manager. Does anyone know of anyone who might be interested in the role?

Thanks in advance

What's an SEO Account Manager?

Do you mean someone to do PPC, improve your SE visibility, work with the developer on the actual site, look at your landing pages, analyse visitor behaviour, work on your copy or something else entirely?

[petera]

Mainly working as the middle point between the in-house SEO consultant and the clients who, on the whole, are large bluechip organisations.
It's essentially a senior managment role, duties include:
- Managing the workload of the in-house SEO consultant
- Formulating online marketing strategies to meet client objectives
- Writing proposals
- Maintaining and building relationships with clients
- identifying new business opportunities within existing accounts
etc.

Not really SEO then - it's more like a marketing role.

Surprised that you have an in house SEO consultant who hasn't ripped the site to pieces. There are some serious SEO problems with the site that need to be fixed ASAP.

Unless of course you rely on PPC and aren't actually interested in your SE ranking.

(PPC is not SEO)

[petera]

I'm confused, which website are you talking about?

[fisicx]

Your homepage: http://www.langtonhowarth.co.uk

[petera]

Ah, I see. That's actually a client of mine, not the company I work for.

The SEO Account Managment role is for a well-established Leeds-based Digital Agency who do web design, interactive, SEO etc.

Out of interest what are the major SEO issues you were referring to with http://www.langtonhowarth.co.uk?

[fisicx]

Where to start. Here a starter for 10:


The page titles are pants.
The main navigation is image based.
Most other links are images.
Spammy meta keywords.
The main content is only accesible after login.

And because of the HUGE amount of space the headers take up, most of the useful stuff is below the fold (but this is usability not SEO).

Your homepage i suspect...which if it is, then fisicx is right!!! Sorry :)

[wood1e2]

Yep rather than the large header image, you could have the search area, rather than a link to the search page, which is below the fold.

Before you start looking at keywords/phrases you want to be found under I would look in great detail at your pages, and not just for SEO..etc etc

[hullcan]

agree with wood1e2. that flash image takes up two thirds of the screen plus its very slow to load. on visiting a site for the first time the first couple of seconds are crucial in engaging the user.

[Esk247]

agreed..that flash image has to go..or be shrunk! i was expecting a really good video to load but all i got was a logo..i think..i didn't wait that long.

i'll manage things like that for ya...how does £150 per day sound :)

[petera]

Sorry it's taken a while but i'm a bit swamped at the moment:
