3What this role really is

An SEO Coordinator works out why search engines rank pages the way they do, and uses that to help content get found. The job means checking how a website performs in search results, then making changes to improve it. It involves working through data to see what is working and what needs fixing.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Ahrefs / SEMrush Intermediate

Pulling keyword reports, tracking rankings for specific projects, running basic competitor analyses, and identifying content gaps.

Screaming Frog SEO Spider Intermediate

Running standard crawls to identify broken links, missing titles, duplicate content, and other common technical issues on specific sections of the site.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Intermediate

Navigating standard reports to track organic traffic, landing page performance, and basic conversions for your assigned projects. Building simple explorations to answer specific questions.

Google Search Console (GSC) Intermediate

Monitoring indexing status, checking for manual actions, pulling performance reports for specific queries and pages, and submitting sitemaps after updates.

Jira / Asana (or similar project management tool) Basic

Updating tickets, tracking your personal tasks, understanding workflow states (e.g., 'In Dev,' 'Ready for QA'), and creating new tickets for technical fixes.

Looker Studio (Google Data Studio) Basic

Connecting GSC/GA4 data sources and using pre-built templates to create basic performance dashboards for your projects, or updating existing reports.

5What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing in Where you are nowThe step above
Keyword Targeting for a New Content Piece Propose primary and secondary keywords to supervisor; supervisor makes final decision. Independently select primary and secondary keywords based on research; inform SEO Manager of choices. Escalate if there's significant debate or high-stakes content. Define keyword strategy for entire content clusters; approve keyword choices for junior team members.
Prioritising On-Page Optimisation Tasks Work through a prioritised list provided by supervisor. Prioritise your own backlog of on-page tasks based on impact and effort, within a broader strategic framework. Consult manager on major shifts. Define the prioritisation framework for all on-page tasks across a workstream; allocate tasks to junior team.
Technical SEO Fix Implementation Identify a technical issue, report it to supervisor, and assist with documentation. Identify a technical issue, research potential solutions, write a detailed Jira ticket for the dev team, and get manager approval before submission. Escalate if dev pushback is significant. Design the solution for complex technical SEO issues, get buy-in from dev leads, and oversee implementation.
Link Building Outreach Strategy Identify potential outreach targets based on criteria provided by supervisor. Develop and execute outreach campaigns for specific content assets or product pages, within an approved budget. Propose new outreach tactics. Define the overall link building strategy and budget for a business unit; approve all major outreach campaigns.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Task Throughput & Accuracy
The number of SEO optimisation tasks you complete each quarter, alongside how few errors they contain. We're talking about things like on-page updates, content briefs, or technical audit items.
Target · Complete 40+ on-page optimisation tickets per quarter with a <5% error rate.

You've successfully updated 45 product pages with new meta descriptions and H1s, and only two needed minor corrections after review. That's a 4.4% error rate – spot on.

Assigned Keyword Ranking Movement
How well the keywords for your specific projects or content clusters are performing in search engine results. We want to see those rankings climb, or at least hold strong.
Target · Achieve a positive rank increase for 80% of assigned keywords within a 6-month period, focusing on positions 4-20.

For the 'Sustainable Fashion' topic cluster you owned, 16 out of 20 target keywords moved up at least 3 positions in Google over the last six months. That's 80% success.

Organic Traffic Growth (Project Specific)
The increase in non-brand organic traffic to the specific sections of the website or content you're responsible for. It's about getting more relevant eyes on our stuff.
Target · Increase non-brand organic traffic to your designated project areas by 10-15% year-over-year.

The blog category you've been optimising saw a 12% increase in organic sessions compared to the same period last year, directly attributable to your content updates and internal linking.

Reporting Accuracy & Timeliness
How precise and on-time your regular performance reports are. We rely on these numbers to make decisions, so they need to be right and ready when we expect them.
Target · Deliver weekly performance reports with 99% data accuracy and submit them by Monday 10 AM every week.

Your weekly organic performance report for the website's 'Services' section was delivered promptly every Monday morning, and a spot check confirmed all figures matched the raw data in GA4 and GSC.

Proactive Issue Identification
How good you are at spotting potential SEO problems before they become big headaches, or at least flagging them quickly once they appear. It's about being on the front foot.
  • You regularly bring up potential technical issues you've noticed during crawls. You highlight emerging keyword trends or competitor moves in team meetings. You're not just waiting to be told what to look for
  • you're actively hunting for opportunities and problems.
Clarity of Communication
Your ability to explain complex SEO concepts or data findings in a way that makes sense to people who aren't SEO experts—like a content writer or a product manager. No jargon, just clear, actionable insights.
  • Your Jira tickets for developers are easy to understand and don't need follow-up questions. Your explanations in team meetings are concise and everyone 'gets it.' You can explain 'canonicalisation' to a non-technical person without them glazing over.
Project Ownership & Follow-Through
Taking full responsibility for your assigned SEO projects, from planning to execution to reporting. This means making sure things don't just get started, but actually get finished and deliver results.
  • You're consistently hitting project deadlines. You chase up dependencies with other teams without being prompted. You proactively report on project progress and any roadblocks you're facing. You're the person who makes sure the ball doesn't get dropped.
Adaptability to Algorithm Changes
How quickly and effectively you can react and adjust your approach when Google inevitably changes its algorithm or introduces new features. It's about staying agile in a constantly shifting landscape.
  • After a core update, you're quickly analysing the impact on our site and proposing initial hypotheses for why. You're reading industry news and bringing relevant changes to the team's attention. You're not thrown off course by unexpected shifts
  • you see them as new puzzles to solve.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Solving Puzzles & Uncovering Secrets

You'll spend a good chunk of your day digging through data, trying to figure out why a page isn't ranking, or why traffic suddenly dropped. It's like being a detective, piecing together clues from various tools to find the answer.

Spending an afternoon cross-referencing GSC, GA4, and Screaming Frog data to identify why a critical set of product pages stopped getting indexed, eventually finding a rogue 'noindex' tag.

Seeing Tangible Impact

You'll be making changes to our website—optimising content, fixing technical issues, building links—and then patiently watching the numbers to see those organic traffic graphs go up. That direct correlation between your work and business growth is a real buzz.

After optimising a specific content hub, seeing a 20% increase in organic traffic to those pages over three months, knowing your efforts directly contributed to that visibility.

Continuous Learning & Mastery

The SEO world is always changing, so you'll constantly be learning new techniques, tools, and algorithm updates. If you love staying on top of the latest trends and deepening your expertise, you'll thrive here.

Spending time each week reading industry blogs, testing new features in GSC, or experimenting with a new AI tool to see how it can improve our workflow.

What frustrates people
  • The Time Lag Agony: Constantly having to explain to people that SEO isn't a light switch; changes you make today might not show measurable results for 3-6 months. It's a test of patience.
  • The Dev Queue Purgatory: You'll identify a site-breaking technical SEO issue, write a perfectly detailed ticket for it, and then watch it sit in the development backlog for three consecutive quarters because other things are deemed more urgent.
  • The 'Creative' Override: Seeing your meticulously researched, keyword-optimised H1 tag get rewritten by the brand team to be something more 'poetic' and completely devoid of search value. It happens, and you'll need to learn to pick your battles.
  • The 'Just Do SEO' Fallacy: Being handed a fully designed, already-built website and being told to 'go do the SEO on it,' when all critical architectural decisions have already been made incorrectly. It's like being asked to fix a leaky roof after the house is already flooded.
  • Algorithm Whiplash: Waking up to a 40% drop in organic traffic because of an unconfirmed Google algorithm update, and then spending the next two weeks trying to reverse-engineer the cause. It's frustrating, but it's part of the job.
  • The Attribution Battle: Knowing your work is driving significant value at the top of the funnel, but struggling to prove it because the company's attribution model is obsessively last-click focused. Your contribution is real, but sometimes hard to quantify in a way everyone understands.
What this role does not give you
  • Instant results or immediate praise for every single change you make. SEO is a slow burn.
  • A completely predictable, unchanging daily routine. Google keeps us on our toes, and priorities can shift quickly.
  • Full control over every single aspect of the website. You'll need to influence and collaborate, not just dictate.
  • Working in isolation. You'll be talking to a lot of different people across different teams.

8Who you work with

Your work directly impacts our organic search visibility and, frankly, our ability to attract new customers without paying for every click. You're helping build a sustainable, long-term acquisition channel. Get it right, and you're saving us a fortune in paid advertising costs by bringing in free traffic. Get it wrong, and we're just shouting into the void, missing out on thousands of potential leads or sales every month. It's a pretty crucial cog in the overall marketing machine, even if it sometimes feels like you're just staring at spreadsheets.

Inside the business
  • Content Team (writers, editors): You'll work really closely with them to make sure new articles are optimised from the get-go and existing ones get a refresh.
  • Product Team: They'll need your input on how new features or pages might impact search visibility, and you'll need them to implement technical fixes.
  • Development Team: Essential for getting those technical SEO changes actually built and deployed on the website. Expect to write clear tickets for them.
  • Paid Media Team: Sometimes you'll work together to spot keyword gaps or share insights on what's converting well.
  • Marketing Leadership: You'll be reporting on your project's performance and explaining why certain SEO decisions were made.
Outside the business
  • SEO Tool Providers (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush): You'll be using their platforms daily, so you'll be familiar with their support teams or documentation.
  • Industry Forums & Communities: Not direct stakeholders, but you'll be keeping an eye on what's happening in the wider SEO world.

9What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of direct, hands-on experience in an SEO-focused role, ideally as an SEO Associate or similar. This isn't your first rodeo.
  • Proven ability to conduct keyword research and implement on-page optimisations that have led to measurable ranking improvements.
  • Demonstrable experience using SEO tools like Ahrefs/SEMrush, Google Analytics, and Google Search Console to analyse performance and identify issues.
  • A solid understanding of technical SEO fundamentals, including crawlability, indexability, and site structure. You'll know what a canonical tag is and why it matters.
  • Experience working with content management systems (CMS) like WordPress, Shopify, or similar, for making content updates.
  • Strong analytical skills – you're comfortable working with data and spreadsheets to draw conclusions and make recommendations.

10What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for SEO

GA4 is constantly evolving, and its event-driven model offers far more flexibility for understanding user behaviour. You'll need to go beyond basic reports to build custom explorations that truly show the impact of your SEO work.

Custom Events & Parameters · Explorations (Free-form, Funnel, Path) · Audiences & Segments · Data Layer Understanding

  • This week: Complete Google's free 'GA4 for Beginners' course if you haven't already.
  • This month: Practice building 3-5 custom 'Explorations' in GA4 to answer specific questions about organic traffic (e.g., 'What's the most common path users take after landing on our blog?').
  • Month 2: Work with a senior analyst to set up a new custom event in GA4 that's relevant to an SEO goal (e.g., 'scroll depth on blog posts').
  • Month 3: Experiment with building custom audiences in GA4 based on organic traffic to analyse their behaviour compared to other channels.

Quick win: Start using the 'Comparisons' feature in GA4 to segment your organic traffic against other channels or specific landing pages—it's super powerful and easy to use.

Advanced Screaming Frog & Regex for Auditing

As websites grow, manual auditing becomes impossible. Using advanced Screaming Frog configurations with Regular Expressions (Regex) allows you to audit technical issues at scale, spotting patterns and extracting specific data that would otherwise take days.

Regex Fundamentals · Custom Extraction in Screaming Frog · Custom Search Filters · API Integrations (basic)

  • This week: Find a free online Regex tutorial and try to solve 5-10 basic Regex puzzles.
  • This month: Experiment with Screaming Frog's 'Custom Extraction' feature to pull specific data from 10-20 pages on our site (e.g., 'all H2s' or 'specific schema properties').
  • Month 2: Learn how to use Regex in Screaming Frog's 'Custom Search' to find specific code snippets across the site.
  • Month 3: Try to configure a crawl that integrates GSC data to identify pages with low impressions but high potential.

Quick win: Learn how to use simple Regex in Google Search Console's performance reports to filter queries (e.g., `^how to` to see all 'how-to' questions). It's a game-changer.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Regularly reading leading SEO blogs and news sites (e.g., Search Engine Journal, Search Engine Land, Moz, Ahrefs blog) to stay current with algorithm changes and industry trends.
  • Attending relevant webinars or virtual conferences (many are free!) to learn new techniques and hear from industry experts.
  • Participating in online SEO communities or forums to discuss challenges, share insights, and learn from peers.
  • Experimenting with new SEO tools or features in your own time, even on a personal project, to deepen your practical skills.
  • Taking short online courses on specific technical SEO topics (e.g., schema markup, JavaScript SEO) to fill any knowledge gaps.

12The rising capability

The rising capability

What's rising in its place

This is where the work is heading, and the higher pay with it. Get fluent here and the shift stops being a threat and starts being your edge.

Advanced Prompt Engineering for SEO

AI is already changing how we do SEO, from content creation to data analysis. Being able to 'talk' effectively to Large Language Models (LLMs) to get specific, high-quality SEO outputs will soon be non-negotiable. Competitors are already using AI to draft reports in minutes that used to take hours.

  • Context Windows & Token Limits
  • Temperature Settings
  • RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
  • Output Validation & Hallucination Detection
  • Prompt Chaining

Log File Analysis Fundamentals

While not a daily task for a Coordinator, understanding log files is becoming increasingly important for truly advanced technical SEO. It's the only way to see exactly how search engine bots are interacting with our site, which is crucial for diagnosing complex crawlability issues.

  • Server Log Data
  • Googlebot Identification
  • Crawl Budget Optimisation
  • Status Code Analysis
  • Basic Log Analysis Tools

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of SEO work can be a bit repetitive, even tedious. But what if you could get hours back every week, freeing you up for the more strategic, interesting stuff? That's where AI comes in. We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a superpower.

Imagine having a super-fast assistant that can churn through data, draft content, and spot opportunities in seconds. For an SEO Coordinator, AI isn't just a buzzword; it's a practical tool that can seriously boost your daily output and help you focus on the bigger picture. We're already exploring how these tools can help our team, and we want you to be part of that.

Content Brief Automation

Use AI tools (like SurferSEO's Content Editor or custom GPT prompts) to analyse top-ranking pages in minutes. It'll automatically generate comprehensive content briefs for writers, including target keywords, recommended headings, word count, and internal link suggestions. No more spending hours manually researching what competitors are doing.

Intent & Clustering Analysis

Feed a massive list of keywords into an AI tool and watch it rapidly analyse SERP features and competing pages. It'll automatically group thousands of keywords into semantically-related topic clusters based on user intent. This saves you days of manual spreadsheet work on strategic planning and helps you build truly authoritative content.

Internal Link Opportunity Mining

Use AI-powered crawlers or custom scripts to scan our entire website. It'll identify existing pages with relevant, unlinked text that could be used as anchor text pointing to a new target page. This automates a tedious manual process, ensuring our internal linking is always optimised without you having to read every single page.

Schema & Meta Generation

Leverage AI to instantly draft JSON-LD schema markup for FAQs, Products, or How-Tos. It can also generate multiple compelling, character-limit-compliant meta description variations for A/B testing at scale. This means you spend less time writing boilerplate code or struggling with character counts, and more time on high-impact strategy.
