Head of SEO

About the company

Hey, I’m Will from CTO SEO Pro. We’re a small but mighty team helping home service businesses across the U.S. - think roofers, wildlife control, sewer & drain companies - get more visibility and leads through Local SEO that actually works.

We’re not into fluff. We test, tweak, and stay on top of what actually drives results, so our clients can focus on doing what they do best.

I’ve been leading the strategy myself, but it’s time to bring someone on board who can take the reins and help shape how we do SEO at scale.

We’ve got a solid team already, and we’re excited to find someone who’s as nerdy about rankings as we are - but who also knows how to lead and innovate.

If you’re into figuring out what really moves the needle and then making it happen, you’ll fit right in.

About the role

We’re looking for a Head of SEO. You’re someone who loves local SEO, knows how to lead a team, and isn’t afraid to make big decisions based on data and results. You're also someone who enjoys testing new things and improving SOPs to keep us ahead of the curve.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

🔍 Lead and mentor a team of 5 SEOs to ensure high-impact strategies are being implemented

🧠 Decide what works - better links, smarter structure, citations, press releases—and make it happen

💬 Request extra budget from clients when needed to get real results

📈 Shape and constantly improve our local SEO SOPs

🧪 Keep testing and re-testing strategies to stay cutting-edge

📣 Be responsible for rankings and lead generation success across our client base

You’re someone who takes initiative, communicates clearly, and doesn’t wait around for someone to tell you what to do.

You enjoy figuring things out, testing new strategies, and leading by example.

You’re honest, adaptable, and excited to be part of a team where your ideas and input actually matter.
