About CGN

Contractor Growth Network is a digital marketing agency for high-end residential remodeling and design-build contractors. We build search strategies around qualified demand — the kind that fills a contractor's pipeline with the right clients, not just more traffic. We're a 15-person team, and the work gets measured.

The role
We're hiring an SEO Specialist to manage and optimize search performance across a portfolio of contractor clients. You'll handle the full scope of SEO work — technical audits, on-page optimization, keyword research, content recommendations, and reporting — and you'll do it inside a team that takes this work seriously.

This isn't a generalist marketing role with SEO tacked on. It's a dedicated specialist position for someone who understands how search actually works and wants to get better at it.

What you'll do

Track and analyze organic traffic, keyword rankings, and conversion data to guide strategy and measure results

Conduct on-page audits and optimize client sites across technical and content elements

Troubleshoot site speed, crawlability, indexation, and overall site health

Analyze keyword performance and recommend content updates or new topics to improve search visibility

Build clear, client-friendly reports that explain what's working and what's next

Keep all client accounts accurately maintained and SEO deliverables properly archived

What we're looking for
2+ years of hands-on SEO experience — technical, on-page, keyword research, and analytics. You work well independently, manage multiple accounts without dropping details, and can translate complex data into clear action steps.

Strong candidates will bring

Solid technical SEO fundamentals — you can diagnose crawl issues, indexation problems, and site health without a checklist

Fluency with the tools: Google Search Console, Google Analytics, Ahrefs, BrightLocal, and Screaming Frog

A data-first approach — you look at what the numbers are actually saying before making a recommendation

Clear communication — your reports make sense to a contractor owner who doesn't speak SEO
