Performance tracking and tools;

• Own SEO performance measurement and reporting, ensuring clear visibility of impact across traffic, leads, and conversion to sale.

• Set up, maintain, and optimise SEO tools and reporting infrastructure (e.g. GSC, Conductor, Ahrefs) to ensure accurate tracking, monitoring, and insight generation.

• Translate performance data into actionable insights and recommendations to drive optimisation and commercial impact.

• Clearly communicate performance, opportunities, risks, and recommendations to stakeholders and leadership.

• Ensure tracking and reporting infrastructure supports ongoing optimisation and informed decision-making.

• Continuously improve tooling, reporting processes, and automation to increase efficiency, scalability, and effectiveness of SEO activity.

Authority building and external visibility;

• Identify opportunities to strengthen site authority and visibility through strategic link acquisition and digital PR collaboration.

• Support thought leadership and content distribution strategies to enhance discoverability and credibility.

Collaboration and leadership;
