Local SEO & Paid Search Manager – Removals & Premium Services Smart Move Removals & Storage | Preston/Chorley, Lancashire £2,900 – £3,200/month + Performance Bonus
This is not a brand awareness role. It's not a social media role. It's a leads role.
Smart Move Removals & Storage is a fast-growing premium removals company operating across the North West's most affluent postcodes — WA, SK, CH, PR and beyond. We move high-value homes and we need someone who can make sure we're the first company those homeowners find on Google.
We're hiring a Local SEO & Paid Search Manager to own our Google presence end-to-end — map pack, Local Services Ads, organic rankings, and Google Ads. Your success is measured in qualified calls and booked jobs. Nothing else.
What You'll Own
- Google Business Profile — ranking, reviews, posts, photos, Q&A, and service area strategy
- Local Services Ads — setup, category management, lead disputes, and cost-per-lead reduction
- Google Ads — search campaigns, ad copy, negative keywords, and conversion tracking (£1,500/month budget)
- Town and postcode-specific landing pages — built to rank, built to convert
- On-page SEO and internal linking across the full site
- Weekly reporting on what actually matters: calls, booked jobs, and postcode source
Who We're Looking For
- 5+ years ranking local service businesses on Google
- Real GBP results you can point to — not just familiarity with the platform
- Hands-on LSA experience — setup, management, and dispute handling
- Someone who thinks in leads and revenue, not traffic and impressions
- Self-starter who can work independently and communicate performance clearly
Preferred Background
- 10+ years of experience in SEO and paid search
- Experience working with SME clients in service-based industries
- Freelance experience managing SEO clients independently
- Experience building location-specific landing pages for multiple service areas
- Knowledge of local citation building and NAP consistency
- Experience with call tracking software (e.g. CallRail, ResponseTap)
- Google Ads or Analytics certification
What's In It For You
- Competitive base of £2,900 – £3,200/month
- Performance bonus tied to lead volume and quality
- Full autonomy — you set the strategy, you execute it, you own the results
- Direct line to the business owner — no sign-off chains, no committee decisions
- Real progression path into a Head of Growth role as the business scales
- A company that's already growing and wants to accelerate — your wins will be visible immediately
To Apply
Skip the generic cover letter. Send us a short note covering:
- A local service business you've ranked — what you did and what the results were
- The companies you've worked with or for in an SEO capacity
- How many years of hands-on SEO and paid search experience you have
- Whether that experience is agency, in-house, or freelance
Keep it concise — we're not looking for an essay, we're looking for evidence.
Please note: We're unable to offer visa sponsorship. If your background is primarily eCommerce, enterprise SEO, or social media management, this role won't be the right fit.
