SEO Manager in Padiham

Full-time | Based in Padiham, Lancashire | Multi-Brand Portfolio

We’re looking for an analytical, curious, and forward-thinking SEO Manager to join our marketing team. You’ll work across several brands within the property and self-storage sector, helping us grow organic visibility, improve website performance, and stay ahead in an AI-driven search landscape.

If you love spotting opportunities in data, fixing what’s slowing a site down, and shaping strategies that actually move rankings and search results, you’ll feel right at home here.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing SEO for multiple brands across property, commercial space and self storage.
• Keeping websites healthy: fixing broken links, managing redirects, handling 404s, and ensuring strong site hygiene.
• Monitoring organic performance across Google and Bing, including keyword rankings, impressions, click-through rates, and search behaviours.
• Using a full suite of Google tools: Analytics, Search Console, Google My Business, Tag Manager and more.
• Building and maintaining high-quality backlinks while monitoring and disavowing harmful links.
• Conducting regular SEO audits and recommending improvements across technical, on-page and content.
• Supporting content planning with keyword research, intent mapping and SERP insights.
• Working closely with the marketing team to align search strategy with campaigns, launches and seasonal activity.
• Presenting insights and opportunities in marketing meetings. You’ll be the go-to person for all things organic search.
• Tracking competitor activity and identifying areas where we can outperform them.
• Supporting AI-era optimisation, such as structured data, content formatting for AI overviews, and emerging search behaviours alongside the content team.
• Producing ad-hoc reports on organic performance and growth opportunities for meetings.

What we’re looking for

• Experience in an SEO role (agency or in-house).
• Strong understanding of technical SEO, on-page optimisation and content best practice.
• Confident using tools like Google Analytics, Search Console, SERanking/SEMrush or similar.
• Comfortable analysing data and turning it into practical actions.
• Strong communication skills: able to explain SEO simply to non-technical colleagues.
• A proactive mindset, with a passion for staying ahead of changes in Google, Bing and emerging AI-powered search engines.
• Ability to manage your own workload across multiple brands and websites.

Nice to have

• Familiarity with schema markup and structured data.
• Basic understanding of CRO or UX principles.
• Experience with CMS platforms.

What you’ll get

• The chance to shape SEO strategy across a thriving multi-brand group.
• A supportive marketing team that values your expertise and skills.
• Ongoing opportunities to learn, test and innovate as search evolves.
• A role where your insights directly influence performance and brand growth.
