[Hiring] SEO Associate @Wonderist Agency - Dental Marketing

Role Description

The SEO Associate supports the day-to-day execution of SEO campaigns across our dental client base. Working closely with U.S.-based specialists, you'll handle tracking and analytics setup for new accounts, keyword research, on-page optimization, technical fixes, and local SEO — the hands-on, on-site work that gets campaigns launched correctly and keeps them moving. This is a role for someone who wants to build real SEO depth. You'll work across a wide range of client sites, learn from senior specialists daily, and see the direct impact of your work in the data. This is a fully remote role supporting a U.S.-based team. Clear, proactive written communication matters as much as technical skill.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of hands-on SEO experience, agency or in-house.
• Excellent written and verbal communication in English — clear, concise, and proactive.
• Hands-on experience setting up Google Analytics 4 and Google Tag Manager, including configuring conversion events.
• Experience with Google Search Console setup and verification.
• Working knowledge of SEO best practices across on-page, off-page, and technical.
• Experience with Ahrefs and/or SEMrush.
• Experience with Agency Analytics.
• Experience with Webflow or a comparable CMS.
• Reliable high-speed internet connection.
• Strong attention to detail and the ability to follow documented processes.

Requirements

• Set up Google Analytics 4 for new accounts — create the property and data stream, and configure conversion events for form submissions, calls, chat, and booking.
• Install and configure Google Tag Manager, and confirm there is exactly one container and one property on the site.
• Set up Google Search Console — verify ownership, submit the XML sitemap, request indexing, and link the property to GA4.
• Verify every installation before sign-off using Tag Assistant and GA4 real-time — confirming the correct IDs are firing and events are recording.
• Set up client dashboards and integrate data sources in Agency Analytics.
• Diagnose tracking issues — tags not firing, events not recording, duplicate containers or properties, and conversions that stop reporting.
• Investigate sudden drops in traffic or conversions to determine whether the cause is a tracking failure or a genuine performance change.
• Resolve access and permission issues across Google properties, and coordinate with clients or internal teams to get what's needed.
• Research and select target keywords for client websites, accounting for search intent, volume, and competitive difficulty.
• Map keywords to the right pages and flag gaps where a target keyword has no page to rank.
• Optimize website pages — meta titles and descriptions, header structure, and image alt text.
• Build internal links that connect service pages, location pages, and existing pages in a way that reflects the site's architecture.
• Identify and fix basic technical issues including broken links, missing tags, duplicate content, and missing alt attributes.
• Run and interpret site crawls, and flag anything beyond your scope to the assigned specialist.
• Monitor indexation and crawl health in Search Console, and raise issues early.
• Coordinate with web developers to implement changes that require developer access.
• Support Google Business Profile optimization — profile fields, services, service descriptions, categories, and photos.
• Maintain listing accuracy across directories and resolve sync errors or duplicate listings.
• Verify business name, address, and phone details are consistent everywhere they appear.
• Track keyword rankings, organic traffic, and conversions across your assigned accounts.
• Share concise, regular performance updates with the U.S. team — what moved, what didn't, and what you think is behind it.
• Flag meaningful declines early rather than waiting for a scheduled review.
• Communicate clearly and proactively with U.S.-based team members and project leads.
• Coordinate with web developers and designers to get changes implemented.
• Escalate anything requiring a strategic judgment call to the assigned specialist rather than guessing.
• Contribute to cross-team projects, process improvements, and new initiatives as assigned.
• Take on new responsibilities and special projects as business needs evolve, with opportunities to learn and grow.

Benefits

• Opportunity to work remotely.
• Hands-on learning from senior specialists.
• Direct impact of your work visible in data.
• Opportunities for growth and new responsibilities.
