Day-to-day operating brief

What Digital Marketing Executive (SEO) work looks like in practice

A Digital Marketing Executive with SEO duties researches search demand, improves on-page content, coordinates website changes and monitors organic performance. The role may also support campaigns, but should not use deceptive link or content tactics to chase rankings. Terms should define sites, CMS access, analytics, keyword tools, publishing approval, technical escalation, redirects, link outreach, customer data, agencies, targets and incident handling. Content updates should preserve accurate authorship, review dates and internal links, while technical issues receive evidence such as affected templates and crawl behaviour. Search snippets and structured data must match visible page content. Outreach records should identify the real editorial value offered and avoid fabricated relationships. When pages overlap in intent, the executive should recommend consolidation or differentiation based on usefulness, not multiply near-identical pages for keyword coverage.

  • Prepare on-page recommendations.
  • Update approved CMS content.
