• Conduct performance analysis, including keyword tracking, ranking and organic traffic KPIs.
• Create monthly SEO performance reports for clients.
• Support the wider Submerge team on SEO business proposals throughout the pitch process.

• Strong technical SEO understanding and capabilities.
• Proficient in using industry reporting, analysis and insight tools such as SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics and GSC.
• Excellent understanding of Google algorithms and updates.
