Most essential skills for hiring an SEO Manager

The skills you need in an SEO Manager depend on your company’s needs and the role’s scope. However, businesses seeking to increase brand visibility and organic traffic often prioritise these essential skills.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Managers and SEO Executives must ensure your website’s content aligns with the SEO objectives, provides value to the target audiences, and meets search engines’ requirements. A strong content strategy improves web rankings, increases organic traffic, and boosts user engagement, which ultimately leads to higher conversions and business growth.

SEO Managers must ensure your website is fast, mobile-friendly, secure, and crawlable by search engines. Technical SEO optimisations improve rankings, enhance user experience, and ensure search engines effectively index your site, to increase visibility and drive traffic growth.

SEO Managers must identify audience search intent and high-value keywords while analysing trends and performance data. Using these insights to optimise content and strategies improves rankings, increases targeted traffic, and provides the marketing team with measurable results, such as higher click-through and conversion rates.

SEO Managers must collaborate with technical and creative teams with different levels of technical expertise (e.g. a Digital Marketing Manager, a UX Designer, or a senior executive), translating SEO goals into actionable tasks. By managing stakeholders effectively, they secure buy-in, align priorities, and ensure the smooth execution of projects, maximising the impact of their SEO projects.
