Hiring a senior SEO manager consultant from Topdog means getting an experienced expert who drives both strategy and hands-on SEO work, with no middlemen involved. We help companies that want to grow organically but lack the time, expertise or structure it takes to really succeed.

Topdog’s consultants are here to help you get measurable, lasting results faster and more smoothly.

Recruit or hire an SEO manager?

Recruiting a senior SEO manager typically takes three to six months, plus onboarding before the work starts paying off. A consultant from Topdog is up and running within weeks, bringing 10+ years of experience from day one. You avoid the recruitment risk and aren’t locked in: your needs can shift between strategy, technology and content, and the expertise scales accordingly. For many companies, a hired senior consultant also works out cheaper than the salary, employer costs and tools that come with a full-time role, especially if what you need is one to three days a week.

SEO services Topdog’s SEO manager can help you with

Topdog’s SEO manager consultants offer a broad range of services:

The SEO process Topdog uses

Search engine optimization is a complex process that calls for a joined-up approach. To achieve lasting results, Topdog’s SEO work rests on four critical areas that work together within a well-planned strategy, namely:

  1. Technology
  2. Content
  3. Links
  4. User experience

When Topdog’s SEO manager consultants start an engagement, we always begin from how your business already works. We kick off with a start-up meeting, whether in person or online, to understand your processes and goals. From there, we build a strategy for how optimising for Google, and for AI search, can be built smoothly into your existing way of working.

The project plan, tailored to your specific needs, sets out to answer questions including:

  • What do you want the SEO work to achieve?
  • How engaged are your own team members?
  • Is a third party needed, a web agency, for example?

Everything we do is grounded in data, business goals and real user needs. The result is clearer direction, sharper precision, and above all: better visibility, more traffic and higher conversion.

Topdog’s consultants are experts at using AI within SEO processes:

  • AI-assisted content creation, producing optimised material quickly and at scale
  • Integrating existing AI tools into the client’s own systems

Frequently asked questions about hiring an SEO manager from Topdog

  • What does an SEO manager do?

    An SEO manager leads a company’s search engine optimization: setting the strategy, prioritising work across technology, content and links, and making sure it all actually gets done. At Topdog, the consultant also takes full ownership of coordinating internal teams and external partners.

  • Recruit or hire an SEO manager?

    Recruiting typically takes three to six months plus onboarding, and the role demands a breadth of seniority that’s hard to find. A consultant is up and running within weeks, brings 10+ years of experience with them, and can be scaled up or down as needed, with no recruitment risk.

  • What does it cost to hire an SEO manager consultant?

    It depends on the scope. Many clients hire a senior consultant for one to three days a week, which often works out cheaper than the salary, employer costs and tools that come with a full-time employee. Get in touch and we’ll put together a proposal based on your needs.

  • How quickly can an SEO manager from Topdog start?

    Usually within a few weeks, depending on availability, compared with the months a recruitment process takes. We kick off with a meeting to agree goals and ways of working together with you.

  • Can you hire an SEO manager on an interim or part-time basis?

    Yes. Many engagements are exactly that: interim cover during a recruitment process, parental leave or a major project like a site migration, or an ongoing part-time role as part of your marketing team.

  • What’s the difference between an SEO manager and an SEO specialist?

    An SEO specialist is an expert in execution within one or more specific areas, while an SEO manager leads the whole picture: strategy, prioritisation, team and results.
