the better web co. exists to help brands be more successful online. We were founded in 2022 by some of the world’s most successful in-house SEO, audience development and content creation leaders. We are looking for an experienced and highly skilled SEO Consultant to join our team.
TBWC partners with brands on all elements of digital strategy, content creation and audience development to help them grow and engage their digital audiences. SEO is the cornerstone of our offering, and we ensure a link back to SEO success runs through all the work we do. Our recent client partners include Which?, Vox Media, Big Issue, Mumsnet, YuLife & Bauer Media.
The better web co. remains a startup with a small team, but our reputation and client base is growing quickly and we are looking to expand our team accordingly.

- Communicate important trends and best practices with colleagues and client partners to help them be better informed about SEO
- Develop and deliver SEO training

- The opportunity to contribute to other activities where you feel you could add value or diversify your skillset
The ideal candidate
We are looking for a highly skilled SEO expert with at least five years of experience in an SEO role. Whilst we generally value talent over experience, part of being a strong Consultant is having spent enough time in an SEO environment that you can draw on your past experiences to advise clients.
Ideally you’ll be a Head of SEO (or higher) already. Experience in either an agency environment, or working with large-scale editorial websites, would be beneficial but is not essential.
Outstanding technical SEO skills are the key requirement for this role. This role reports directly to the Founder – who currently oversees tech SEO – but we anticipate the successful candidate becoming accountable for tech SEO across the business and becoming our go-to technical SEO expert for our client base.
An excellent understanding of search engine algorithms, ranking factors, and SEO best practices is also essential.
As a consultant, the most important characteristic we’re looking for is your ability to prioritise and communicate. Tech SEO is detailed and complicated, but the art of helping clients be successful is the ability to present findings and recommendations in a simple to understand manner. Simplifying the complex is a huge part of what we consider to be good SEO, it’s what helps clients to commit to implementing our advice, and that’s what leads to great results.
It is an exciting time at the better web co as we rapidly expand our client base. We want this role to grow as you do, we want you to help us shape the business as it grows, and we are committed to investing our time and knowledge to help you develop your own skills and career.
Salary & Benefits
The SEO Consultant salary is up to £75k, depending on experience. Other benefits include 5% matched pension, 33 days holiday (inc. bank holidays), YuLife employee wellbeing (inc. virtual GP appointments) and a co-working allowance.
TBWC is a living wage employer and all our roles are remote.
