SEO Manager — Dallas, TX

Position: SEO Manager

Location: Carrollton, TX (on-site 4 days a week)

Reporting to: Sr. Director, Digital

A growing company in the Dallas-Fort Worth area runs websites across a multi-location network, all within the same industry. Each location has its own brand and its own market. They need one person to own the SEO strategy across all of it.

You won't be writing title tags at midnight. An agency partner handles the execution, from content to technical fixes, and turns out hundreds of blogs and pages a month. Your job is to set the direction, keep the agency on plan and on schedule, read the data, and change course when something isn't working. This is a role for someone who came up through the hands-on work. When a teammate has a question, you should be able to open the site, find the problem and explain it in plain English.

You'll work with internal marketing leads who each look after a group of those locations. You'll also get on calls with the people who own these locations. They're experts in their field, not in SEO, so you'll set realistic expectations without making anyone's eyes glaze over.

Search changes week to week, and AI platforms keep rewriting what gets cited. The team doesn't want a know-it-all. They want someone curious who does the research, and who might use AI in ways they haven't tried yet.

Requirements:

• 3-8+ years in SEO, growing from hands-on work into strategy

• Local SEO across many locations and brands, from an agency or in-house

• Strong WordPress, Ahrefs or Semrush, GA4 and Search Console skills

• Experience holding an agency or outside partner to clear goals

• Real interest in AI search, AEO and GEO

The plan is to eventually build a small SEO team under this role, with two more hires down the road, but for now, you are the only SEO expert. The work is on-site, with one remote day each week that you choose, in an open office with a high-energy crew.
