The role

Hands-on SEO across our four agency brands

ByteZero is a digital marketing agency working with small businesses and law firms in Los Angeles, Charlotte and Lake Norman, Charleston, Florida and Toronto. We build websites, run SEO, AI-search visibility and Google Ads, and we rank our own agency websites the same way we rank clients. The agency runs four brands: ByteZero, SkyBridge Creations, California Law Firm SEO and Law Firm Marketing Texas.

This role is the hands-on SEO work behind those brands' websites, with US local search at the center of it: Google Business Profiles, citations and the map pack for service businesses in the Carolinas and beyond. It is manual, careful work: listings submitted by a person, pages fixed one at a time, every change logged. If you enjoy getting details exactly right and seeing a page climb in Search Console because of something you did, this is for you.

The job is fully remote, but you need to live in the Charlotte metro, on the North Carolina or South Carolina side, so you can meet a client or a teammate in person when that helps.
