Off-site Search Specialist

at Doubledot Media Ltd (Anywhere)
Published at Jan 12, 2018

Doubledot Media is a New Zealand-based company creating online tools and training for people looking to start their own online businesses. We’re based in Christchurch, but the majority of our team work remotely from various places around the world.

We’re on the hunt for a talented Off-Site Search Specialist with a passion for all forms of off-site search marketing to help grow our organic traffic.

Our new Search Specialist will play a vital role in looking for new growth opportunities, maintaining ‘best practices’, providing guidance to our content team and generally making sure our off-site search efforts are top notch.

We’re looking for someone with a fair amount of cleverness, the ability to Get Things Done, and a genuine passion and love for search marketing.

You’ll be responsible for:

• Coming up with off-site, backlink ideas and methods to increase our organic traffic.
• Running outreach campaigns and engaging with industry influencers.
• Constantly looking for guest posting opportunities within our industry.
• Brand monitoring and reputation improvement.
• Growing our existing guest contributors and blogger network.

You’ll need:

• 4-5 years of PR, link building, or related industry experience.
• Excellent written English with the ability to pitch successfully with influencers.
• Meticulous attention to detail. Your spelling and grammar should be top notch.
• Good time management skills. Since this can be a remote working position, you’ll need to be organized, motivated, and (dare we say) a “self-starter”.
• Have been involved in search marketing or link building campaigns.
• Love analytics and metrics, because they show off your superb talent (experience with SEMRush, Moz, GA, GWT).
• Know how to moderate content and build a powerful online brand.
• Knowledge of search best practices, particularly avoiding algorithmic penalties.
• A personal network of bloggers, freelancers, and influencers would be ideal.

Neat things about working with us:

• Flexible working hours.
• Work from home (or from our Christchurch office).
• Relaxed, ego-free, family-friendly work culture.
• Training and conference costs covered.
• The successful applicant will be committed to continual learning of everything off-page SEO-related. You will analyze, test, develop, and run SEO initiatives to grow SaleHoo’s organic traffic week after week.
