While we believe we can help most companies in most industries with their online marketing, we concede there are some areas in which we are unable to help, and there are some companies who just don’t need SEO.
One such company, you’d be forgiven for feeling fairly certain about saying, is Google. It’s hard to imagine that Google would ever need help with its rankings… on Google.
Well, you would be wrong!
In what seems like a story originally written on April 1st (we assure you it wasn’t), Google is actively looking for an SEO manager to spearhead campaigns to help its rankings in Google. This isn’t as daft as it sounds. Google isn’t looking for someone to help it get higher rankings for Google.com on Google.com (it hasn’t completely lost its mind), it’s looking for someone to help the organic traffic to its individual projects, something Google is always looking to build upon.
The key responsibilities Google is saying the successful candidate will have, in case you’re thinking of applying, are to:
• Architect, design, develop and maintain innovative, engaging and informative sites for a worldwide audience
• Maintain and develop the web code to ensure quality, content and readability by search engines
• Keep pace with SEO, search engine and internet marketing industry trends and developments and report changes as needed
• Advise, collaborate with, and synthesise feedback from Marketing, Product and Engineering partners to push for technical SEO best practices
