Careers at NYCeo
Come Do SEO Somewhere That Isn’t Soul-Crushing
Looking for SEO jobs NYC agencies rarely offer? We’re a small, sharp team doing real work for real New York businesses — no bloated hierarchy, no vague KPIs nobody believes in, no pretending a client’s terrible idea is brilliant. If that sounds like your kind of place, keep reading.
Why Work Here
Why Work at NYCeo
We’re not the biggest name in SEO jobs NYC has to offer, and we’re not trying to be. Here’s what you actually get working here.
Real Ownership, Not Busywork
Unlike most SEO jobs NYC agencies post, you’ll run actual client strategy, not just execute someone else’s checklist. If you’re good, you’ll know it because your name is genuinely attached to the results.
Clients Who Respect the Work
We turn away clients who want to guarantee-#1-ranking their way into a bad relationship. The clients who stay are the ones who actually want a real strategy — which makes the work better for everyone doing it.
You’ll Actually Learn Something
The SEO jobs NYC agencies offer should keep you current, because SEO is changing fast — AI Overviews, GEO, query fan-out, all of it. We treat staying current as part of the job, not something you do on your own time. Every strategist gets dedicated time each month to test and learn new tactics before they go anywhere near a client account. We share a lot of what we learn in our SEO guides.
Health Coverage, Flexibility, and Room to Grow
Full health coverage, hybrid work (three days in our Midtown Manhattan office, two remote), a real professional development budget, and a clear path from junior to senior roles — not a title that never changes no matter how good you get.
Day To Day
Life at NYCeo
NYCeo careers mean joining a team of 25, split across strategy, content, technical SEO, and client management. Decisions move fast because there aren’t five layers of management to clear first — if you have a good idea for a client, you can usually pitch it directly to the person running that account by the end of the day. You can meet our team on our About page.
Most weeks in our SEO jobs NYC roles include a Monday strategy huddle, deep focus time for actual execution, and a Friday wrap where we talk through wins, misses, and anything genuinely interesting we ran into that week.
Open Roles
Open SEO Jobs NYC
SEO Strategist
Hybrid, NYC · Full-time
Own local and technical SEO strategy for a portfolio of NYC clients across multiple industries — from audit through execution through the monthly report you actually stand behind.
Content Writer, SEO & AEO
Hybrid, NYC · Full-time
Write content built to rank and to get cited by AI Overviews and ChatGPT — service pages, blog content, and FAQ content grounded in real search intent, not filler.
Technical SEO Specialist

Handle site audits, Core Web Vitals, crawlability, and structured data across our client portfolio, including the AI-crawler-specific checks most agencies skip entirely.
Local SEO & Google Business Profile Manager
Hybrid, NYC · Full-time
Own Google Business Profile optimization, citation building, and Map Pack strategy across our client portfolio — a role that lives and breathes the borough-by-borough, neighborhood-by-neighborhood nuance most agencies flatten into a single template.
AI Search (AEO/GEO) Specialist

Lead our AI Overview and generative engine optimization work — structured data, entity consistency, and direct-answer content strategy that gets our clients cited by ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google’s AI Overviews.
Client Success Manager
Hybrid, NYC · Full-time
Be the real point of contact for a portfolio of NYC clients — translating strategy into plain-English monthly reports, catching concerns before they become churn, and making sure every client actually understands what we’re doing for them and why.
Don’t see the right fit? We’re always open to hearing from strong SEO strategists, content writers, and technical SEOs based in or around New York. Send us your resume anyway → — we keep a running list and reach out when something opens up.
The Process
How We Hire
We keep the process short — nobody wants to do five rounds of interviews for a marketing job.
Apply
Send your resume and a short note on why NYC SEO specifically interests you. Cover letters that are clearly copy-pasted get noticed for the wrong reason.
A Real Conversation
A 30-minute call with our team lead — not a script, an actual conversation about the role and what you’d be doing day to day.
A Practical Exercise
A short, paid mini-audit of a real (anonymized) site relevant to the role, so we can see how you actually think, not just how you interview.
Decision
We aim to get back to every candidate within a week of the final conversation — no disappearing into a black hole.
