About the role
You will run audits, build action plans, optimize Google Business Profiles, write and improve content, manage listings, and work side by side with our developer to push changes live.

- Manage and optimize Google Business Profiles on a daily or weekly basis
- Manage business listings and citations through tools like Yext and BrightLocal
- Apply working knowledge of AEO and GEO to keep clients visible in AI search
