What You Get
What an EverestX Local SEO Specialist brings to your team.
Find high-paying remote Local SEO Specialist jobs and build a rewarding career helping brick-and-mortar businesses, multi-location brands, and service-area businesses dominate local search results.
Google Business Profile Optimization
Deep expertise in every aspect of Google Business Profile management including profile completeness optimization, primary and secondary category selection, service and product listing configuration, attribute management, GBP post strategy, Q&A management, and photo optimization. Understanding how each profile element influences local pack rankings and customer engagement metrics is fundamental to effective local SEO, and specialists must stay current with Google's frequent changes to GBP features and ranking factors.
Citation Building & NAP Management
Systematic capability to audit existing business citations across major data aggregators, general directories, and vertical-specific platforms, identify NAP inconsistencies that undermine local authority, and build or correct citations at scale. This includes understanding how data aggregators like Foursquare and Data Axle distribute business information to downstream directories, and how to use platform APIs and direct submission processes to achieve consistent NAP representation across hundreds of listing sources.
Local Keyword Research & Content Strategy
Proficiency in identifying geo-modified keyword opportunities using tools like Semrush, Whitespark, and BrightLocal, understanding local search intent that differs from national search intent for similar queries, and developing location page content strategies that create genuine ranking authority for each location rather than thin templates that generate duplicate content penalties. This skill includes briefing writers on locally relevant content that satisfies both search engine signals and user needs.
Local Rank Tracking & Reporting
Expertise in tracking local search rankings at the geo-grid level using tools that measure visibility across specific map areas, which provides a far more accurate picture of local search performance than traditional position tracking that does not account for geographic variation in results. This includes building reporting dashboards that communicate Local Pack visibility, GBP performance metrics, citation health, and review profile trends to clients in clear business impact terms.
Review Acquisition & Reputation Management
Strategy for ethically growing a business's online review volume and average rating while complying with platform terms of service that prohibit incentivized or manipulated reviews. This includes designing compliant review request workflows for email, SMS, and in-person touchpoints, developing professional response templates for positive and negative reviews, monitoring review sentiment across platforms, and escalating emerging reputation issues to clients before they compound into lasting damage.
Local Schema Markup & Structured Data
Knowledge of LocalBusiness schema implementation in JSON-LD format, including the correct use of business type hierarchies, NAP information, opening hours specification, geo-coordinates, and aggregate rating markup for businesses with reviews. Multi-location implementations require careful attention to ensuring each location's schema accurately represents that specific location's details and does not conflict with other location pages on the same domain.
The Cost
What a Local SEO Specialist costs in the US — vs EverestX.
The US has the highest marketing labor costs in the world, and hiring is expensive on every path: a full-time in-house specialist runs $55,000–$95,000+ in base salary, and once you layer on health benefits, employer payroll tax, a 401k match, and PTO the all-in cost reaches $80,000–$130,000. A US agency retainer runs $2,500–$12,000+ a month per channel. EverestX places an equally-vetted full-time specialist from about $1,700/month ($10–12/hr) — no agency margin, no employer payroll burden, and your own dedicated marketer working in US hours rather than a slice of an account manager’s time.

Why EverestX
Why the US companies hire local seo specialists with EverestX.
A fraction of a US agency retainer
A single-channel agency retainer in the US routinely runs $2,500–$12,000+ a month, and full-service engagements climb well past that. EverestX places a dedicated, vetted full-time specialist from roughly $1,700/month — your own marketer, not a shared account passed to a junior account manager.
No US salary, benefits, payroll tax, or 401k
A full-time in-house marketer in the US costs $55,000–$95,000+ before you add health benefits, employer payroll tax, 401k match, and PTO — easily $80,000–$130,000 all-in. EverestX is one simple hourly rate with zero employer burden — no benefits, no remittances, no overhead.

FAQ
Hiring a Local SEO Specialist in the US — your questions.
Will the talent work in US hours?
+
Yes. We match you with specialists who commit to meaningful overlap with your US business hours across every time zone from Eastern to Pacific, so standups, calls, and day-to-day collaboration run normally despite being remote.
How much does it cost to hire a marketer in the US through EverestX?
+
Full-time placements are $10–12/hr (roughly $1,700–$2,100/month for full-time), part-time $14–16/hr. There are no recruitment fees, no agency margin, and no US salary, benefits, payroll tax, or 401k on top — one simple rate, far below a US hire or a US agency retainer.
How is this different from a US marketing agency?
+
A US agency gives you a slice of a shared account, often handled by junior staff, on a fixed monthly retainer that runs $2,500–$12,000+. EverestX gives you a dedicated, vetted specialist who works only on your business, in your US hours — at a fraction of a typical retainer, with no long lock-in.
How fast can I hire?
+
We typically shortlist pre-vetted specialists within 48 hours of understanding your role, so you can be interviewing the same week — rather than spending weeks on LinkedIn and Indeed postings, recruiter shortlists, and screening.
What if the specialist isn’t the right fit?
+
EverestX includes a replacement guarantee. If a placement isn’t working out, we’ll rematch you with another vetted specialist — so hiring carries almost no risk and none of the cost or hassle of ending a US employment arrangement.
Where are the specialists based?
+
EverestX talent is remote and globally sourced, vetted to a high bar, and matched to work in your US hours. You get full US-hours collaboration (ET to PT) and fluent English without paying US in-house salaries plus benefits and payroll tax, or US agency rates.
