Frequently asked questions about hiring your next SEO manager

Look for candidates with a bachelor’s degree in marketing, digital media, or a related field. They should have 3-5 years of experience in SEO, demonstrable success in improving search rankings and organic traffic, and knowledge of current SEO best practices and tools. Certifications from Google or other reputable organizations are a plus.

Ask candidates to explain their approach to technical SEO audits, their experience with implementing schema markup, and how they optimize site speed. You can also present them with a hypothetical SEO problem and ask them to walk you through their problem-solving process.

An effective SEO Manager should be able to improve organic traffic, keyword rankings, organic click-through rates (CTR), conversion rates from organic traffic, and domain authority. They should also be able to decrease bounce rates and improve page load times.

While SEO Managers don’t necessarily need to be content creators themselves, they should have a strong understanding of content strategy and optimization. They should be able to guide content teams on SEO best practices, keyword usage, and creating content that aligns with search intent.

While not always essential, experience with PPC can be beneficial. Understanding both organic and paid search strategies can help an SEO Manager develop more comprehensive digital marketing strategies and better allocate resources between the two channels.

Look for candidates who demonstrate a commitment to ongoing learning. They should be able to discuss recent algorithm updates, mention industry blogs or podcasts they follow, and ideally have attended or spoken at SEO conferences. Consider asking about their process for staying informed about industry changes.

An SEO Manager should be proficient with tools such as Google Analytics, Google Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Moz, or similar SEO software. They should also be familiar with keyword research tools, technical SEO audit tools, and ideally, some basic web development tools.

An effective SEO Manager should be able to collaborate with various teams including content, web development, product, and marketing. They should be able to communicate SEO concepts to non-technical team members, provide actionable insights, and work cross-functionally to implement SEO strategies.

SEO is a long-term strategy, but you should expect to see some initial progress within 3-6 months. This might include improvements in keyword rankings, organic traffic, or technical SEO metrics. However, significant, sustainable results typically take 6-12 months or longer, depending on the current state of your SEO and the competitiveness of your industry.
