Seo Contractor Jobs in Florida (NOW HIRING)

Senior SEO Lead 

About the Role

We are looking for a Senior SEO Manager to help lead organic search performance across a 

portfolio of established transportation and logistics websites. 

This is not a basic SEO role. We are looking for someone who can guide strategy, manage 

execution, identify growth opportunities, diagnose ranking losses, improve content quality, build 

honest reporting, and help turn organic search into a measurable business-growth channel. 

Our company operates in highly competitive logistics markets, including heavy hauling, 

equipment transport, oversize load transport, freight, logistics, auto transport, container 

transport, and related services. We already have established websites, an existing SEO team, 

strong industry experience, and a large content footprint. We need someone who can bring 

discipline, strategy, growth, prioritization, and high-value ideas to the SEO operation. 

The right person will be a player-coach: strategic enough to help build the roadmap, technical 

enough to diagnose issues, commercial enough to care about leads and revenue, and hands-on 

enough to challenge weak work. 

This role reports to the Director of Marketing and will work closely with leadership, developers, 

designers, writers, data, and sales teams. 

Manages 

SEO specialists, content resources, SEO vendors, freelance writers, outreach resources, and 

related contractors. Owns organic traffic channel results and growth.

related contractors. 

● Auditing ranking losses, traffic declines, content gaps, competitor gains, and technical 

issues. 

● Building transparent SEO reporting that shows wins, losses, risks, opportunities, and 

business impact.

metrics. 

● Improving technical SEO, site architecture, internal linking, index quality, and crawl 

efficiency.

and conversion-focused. 

● Working with PPC and data teams to identify high-value keywords, lead quality patterns, 

and organic opportunities. 

● Improving conversion paths from organic traffic to quote requests, phone calls, and 

qualified leads. 

● Monitoring competitors and identifying where we are gaining or losing visibility. 

● Creating 90-day, 6-month, and 12-month organic growth roadmaps. 

● Helping create SEO SOPs, QA processes, reporting standards, and team accountability 

systems.
