Seo Copywriting Jobs (NOW HIRING)

We're hiring a strategic, curious, and forward-thinking SEO Manager to help shape the future of organic search and AI visibility at Halstead Media Group.

This role is for someone who gets excited about where search is going-not just where it's been. AI-driven search, evolving SERPs, local visibility, entity optimization, changing user behavior, and new tools are creating a huge opportunity for marketers who know how to adapt quickly and turn change into results.

As SEO Manager, you'll own SEO strategy and performance across a portfolio of clients, identify opportunities for growth, and work closely with our copywriters, designers, developers, Project Managers, and leadership team to turn strategy into execution.

You won't simply follow an SEO checklist. You'll analyze what's happening, determine what matters, prioritize the highest-impact opportunities, test new approaches, and continuously improve how we help our clients get found and generate qualified leads.

This role is 99% remote, with optional annual travel for training or team planning.

Halstead Media Group helps landscape and outdoor living companies eliminate instability, fuel growth, and build sustainable marketing systems.

As a StoryBrand Certified Agency, we combine clear messaging, strong creative, smart strategy, and measurable performance to help our clients grow.

Our clients trust us because we think strategically, move quickly, embrace change, and approach their businesses with the same level of care and ownership we would our own.
