### About MeanPug



MeanPug is a digital marketing agency built for law firms. We work with clients throughout the US, most of them personal injury firms, and we're known for results-driven SEO, transparent reporting, and a team that cares about the work. We're looking for a Local SEO Specialist who wants to get deep into local search and grow with a team that's growing.



### The Role



You'll own the day-to-day SEO execution for law firm clients, with a strong focus on local search. You'll work alongside our SEO team to improve rankings in the map pack and organic results, and to turn that visibility into cases for our clients.



### What You'll Do


**Local SEO and Google Business Profile**

- Optimize and manage Google Business Profiles across multiple locations (categories, services, attributes, descriptions, posts, Q&A, photos)
- Build and maintain local citations and keep NAP data consistent
- Track local rankings and map pack performance, and diagnose drops
- Identify and fix GBP issues such as suspensions, duplicates, and spam competitors


**On-Page SEO**

- Perform keyword research and map keywords to pages
- Optimize title tags, headers, internal linking, and content structure
- Run competitor gap analysis and update existing pages to close entity and content gaps
- Work with writers and developers to ship content updates that follow SEO best practices
- Implement and validate schema markup (LocalBusiness, Attorney, and more)


**Technical SEO**

- Conduct technical audits (crawlability, indexation, site speed, Core Web Vitals, mobile usability, redirects, canonicals)
- Use Google Search Console, and GA4 to find issues and opportunities
- Prioritize fixes by impact and communicate them clearly to developers and account managers


**Link Building**

- Build and execute link acquisition campaigns (local sponsorships, citations, digital PR, partnerships, outreach)
- Analyze backlink profiles and competitor links to find opportunities
- Vet link prospects for quality and relevance, and flag toxic links


**Reporting and Communication**

- Track KPIs and report on rankings, traffic, calls, and form fills
- Turn data into clear recommendations for account managers and clients


**What We're Looking For**

- 2–5 years of hands-on SEO experience, with a focus on local SEO
- Proven experience optimizing Google Business Profiles
- Solid working knowledge of on-page SEO, technical audits, and link building
- Experience with tools like Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs or Semrush, Screaming Frog, and a local rank tracker (BrightLocal, Local Falcon, or similar)
- Comfort with WordPress and basic HTML
- Strong analytical skills and the ability to explain your reasoning
- Clear written communication and good time management across multiple accounts


**Nice to Have**

- Experience in legal or other YMYL verticals
- Familiarity with GTM and GA4 setup
- Experience using AI tools to speed up SEO workflows (audits, content analysis, reporting)
- Multi-location SEO experience



### Compensation



$2,000–

3,000 USD per month, depending on experience.



### How to Apply



Send your resume and a short video 1-2 minutes about a local SEO win you're proud of to hiring@meanpug.com.  Examples of GBP or local ranking improvements are a plus.
