In brief
**Overview** This role is for an SEO Account Manager, advertised by Kontak Recruitment, on behalf of a UK-based specialist digital agency. It is a fully remote position focused on managing client relationships for ongoing SEO retainers. The agency is known for delivering impactful results that significantly benefit their clients. The role is designed for someone who takes pride in keeping clients informed and confident, excelling at explaining complex SEO performance in plain language to business owners to ensure they feel their investment is secure. The SEO Account Manager will own the client relationship, managing regular check-ins and monthly performance reviews, and collaborating closely with the SEO team. **What you will do** * Serve as the primary point of contact for a portfolio of existing SEO retainer clients. * Run regular client meetings and calls, navigating performance conversations with confidence and clarity. * Prepare and present monthly performance reviews using GA4, Search Console, rank tracking, and local SEO data, translating them into meaningful insights for business owners. * Develop a genuine understanding of each client's goals, concerns, and business context. * Maintain close collaboration with the SEO team, briefing them clearly on client needs and priorities. * Monitor client accounts for any ranking or traffic movements that require attention or communication. * Identify and raise legitimate upsell opportunities where a client's needs and goals call for it. **Requirements (from the original advert)** * 3 to 5 years of experience in agency account management or client services. * At least 2 of those years spent managing SEO retainers specifically. * Able to explain GA4, Search Console, rank tracking, and local SEO performance to a business owner without losing them in jargon. * Confident leading regular client meetings, including the difficult conversations. * Enough SEO depth to hold your own with clients and brief the SEO team with precision. * Personable, self-directed, and comfortable owning a client relationship without hand-holding. * Experience with international clients, ideally UK-based, is advantageous but not essential. * Familiarity with local SEO for multi-location or healthcare-type businesses is a bonus. * Hands-on experience with reporting and rank tracking tools is a plus. **Who should apply** This role is ideal for a skilled relationship builder who genuinely enjoys being the primary client-facing representative for SEO campaigns. The successful candidate will take pride in keeping clients informed and confident, excelling at translating technical information into understandable insights for business owners, leaving them feeling their investment is in good hands. They should be personable, self-directed, and comfortable owning client relationships autonomously. This position suits someone who thrives in a clearly defined, relationship-focused role without hard sales targets, and who values working with a niche, expert team. Exposure to international clients and a UK-based business environment is offered. **Deadline** Not specified **Reference** Original posting: https://www.myjobmag.co.za/job/seo-account-manager-kontak-recruitment Source: myjobmag
