Why this seat is hard to fill.

SEO project management has long feedback loops: audits, content, technical fixes, link work, reporting, and client approvals. The professional needs to keep movement visible before the client asks.

How we reach them.

  • Every search starts with the project managers who are in the seat right now, in Medellín, Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City. Long feedback loops reward patience, and the people who have it do not churn through jobs.
  • We reach them by warm intro, prior-network referral, and a researched personal email. Never a job post, never a recruiter blast.
  • Eight active searches a month, so the outreach stays personal enough that someone with a job reads it.

How we check them.

  • A live working call around a delayed content plan, an unresolved technical ticket, and a client asking what actually moved this month.
  • A written screen for client-ready clarity: facts, owners, dates, and the next action.
  • Reference checks with the people who actually managed them, run the same way we check references for our own team.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

We say no more often than we say yes.

  • Your SEO delivery slips because content, tech, and reporting owners drift apart.
  • Clients need clearer status before monthly reports.
  • You need project ownership with SEO context, not generic task movement.
  • You need an SEO strategist only.
  • The role has no client-visible status responsibility.
  • You only need task-board cleanup.
