About Us

LOCAL SEO SPECIALIST — CITATIONS, GBP & DIRECTORY MANAGEMENT
Remote | Part-Time / Contract | Philippines-Based (Preferred) | Ongoing

Advanced Digital Automotive Group (ADAG) is a US-based digital marketing agency specialising in local SEO, Google Business Profile optimisation, and citation building for auto repair shops across the United States. We have an established remote team in the Philippines and the person in this role will work alongside them daily.

This role is actively evolving. We want someone who can adapt, take ownership, and help shape what this function becomes.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for a Local SEO Specialist who understands the full picture of local search — not just someone who can submit to directories. You will handle citation building and cleanup, Google Business Profile optimisation, keyword image management, and GBP content.

This is not a beginner role. You need hands-on experience with multiple clients, understand why each task matters for local rankings, and be capable of hitting consistent daily output targets without supervision.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

Citation Building & Cleanup
- Audit and clean up NAP (Name, Address, Phone) inconsistencies across directories
- Claim, verify, and update unclaimed or outdated business profiles
- Suppress and remove duplicate listings
- Submit clients to high-impact directories — automotive-specific and local community platforms
- Minimum output: 30 quality directory submissions per day

Google Business Profile
- Claim, verify, and fully optimise GBP profiles for auto repair clients
- Upload 8–10 keyword-optimised images per client per month with AI-generated SEO alt tags
- Publish regular GBP posts and monitor profiles for Q&A and suggested edits

Image Management
- Coordinate monthly image collection from clients
- Use AI tools to generate location- and service-specific SEO alt tags before upload

Tracking & Reporting
- Maintain clean records for every directory: URLs, login details, verification status, dates
- Produce monthly citation and GBP activity reports for each client

MUST-HAVE EXPERIENCE

- Proven hands-on citation building and cleanup across multiple clients
- Google Business Profile — claiming, verifying, optimising, posting
- NAP consistency management and duplicate suppression
- Image optimisation and SEO alt tag creation
- Citation tracking spreadsheets (Google Sheets)
- Able to maintain 30+ quality directory submissions per day

PREFERRED DIRECTORY EXPERIENCE

Core: Google Business Profile, Apple Business Connect, Bing Places, Yelp, Facebook Business, Nextdoor, Foursquare, BBB, Yellow Pages, Superpages, Manta
Data aggregators: Data Axle, MapQuest, HERE, TomTom
Automotive: CARFAX Car Care, Mechanic Advisor, RepairPal, Openbay, SureCritic, AutoMD

TOOLS

- Google Sheets and Google Drive (daily)
- At least one of: BrightLocal, Whitespark, Semrush Local, Moz Local, or similar
- AI tools for alt tag generation (ChatGPT, Claude, or equivalent)

REQUIREMENTS

- Proven experience with examples or portfolio — applications without these will not be considered
- Strong attention to detail
- Clear written English
- Reliable internet and consistent availability
- Comfortable managing 40–50 client accounts
- Based in the Philippines (strongly preferred)

COMPENSATION

Rate based on experience. Please include your expected monthly rate when applying.

HOW TO APPLY

Please include:
1. A short summary of your local SEO experience (citations AND GBP)
2. Directories you have worked with and tools you use
3. Your daily directory submission output rate
4. Experience with automotive businesses, if applicable
5. Your expected monthly rate
6. How you would approach the first 30 days on a brand-new auto repair client

Applications without examples of past work will not be considered.
