Technical SEO Executive Northwich (Hybrid – 2 days in office) £35,000–£37,000 benefits Full-time, Permanent The Opportunity I'm working with a long-established, family-run B2C business that's quietly doing big things in the digital space - and they're now investing heavily in SEO to future-proof their online presence. They've rebuilt their website from the ground up, and with AI and LLM-driven search changing the SEO game, they're looking for a Technical SEO Executive who can take the reins on site health, performance, and technical optimisation. This isn't a “just run a few audits” kind of role - it's a hands-on position for someone who genuinely loves the technical side of SEO: code, structure, schema, site speed, and all the techy bits that make Google (and ChatGPT!) happy. What You'll Be Doing Own the technical health of multiple websites — ensuring every page is crawlable, indexable, and lightning fast. Conduct regular site audits across crawl, speed, internal linking, and Core Web Vitals. Implement structured data (Schema) to enhance visibility and LLM discoverability. Manage sitemaps, redirects, robots.txt, and canonical tags with confidence. Collaborate on new pages and features, working closely with SEO, content, and dev teams. Monitor performance through GA4, SEMrush, and Search Console, spotting trends before anyone else. Help shape the content strategy through technical insights and keyword analysis. Stay ahead of the curve on AI and entity-based search — a key focus for the business in 2025. About You 2 years' experience in SEO, ideally with a technical or hybrid background. Strong working knowledge of WordPress (Elementor) and confidence editing code (HTML, CSS, PHP). You understand Core Web Vitals, mobile-first indexing, crawl budgets, and site architecture inside out. Experience using SEMrush, GA4, and GSC. Bonus points if you've explored LLM optimisation, structured data, or JavaScript SEO. Analytical by nature, with a curious mind and a “find and fix” mentality.
