At Pavago, we are hiring for one of our clients seeking a hands-on Digital Marketing Account Manager to manage and optimize digital marketing performance for a portfolio of approximately 15–20 client accounts.

The role focuses heavily on Google Business Profile optimization and local SEO for businesses in the storage, parking, and local-service industries.

  • Execute local SEO strategies focused on ranking factors, citations, NAP consistency, reviews, and local search performance.

  • Maintain consistent communication and follow-up with clients.
  • Lead monthly client meetings to present marketing performance, insights, and recommendations.
  • Build strong client relationships while maintaining accountability for marketing results.

  • Support white-glove ALO accounts with marketing execution and performance reporting.
  • Provide marketing data and insights to the COO for client reporting when required.

What Makes You a Perfect Fit
