Job Opportunity: SEO & PPC Manager

About Monday Clicks

Monday Clicks is a “Content-First” Search Agency for Retail businesses and we have one mission - to make a positive and noticeable difference to our clients’ businesses.

We have an outstanding client retention rate simply because we have great relationships with our clients and always offer them the very best service and skills we can.

Our Agency also has one rule. No jargon. We explain everything to our clients in layman’s terms so they can truly understand what we’re doing and the impact it has.

Monday Clicks is a fast-growing agency with an ambition to be known for turning websites into lead and sales-generating machines. After all, our clients are with us to grow their businesses, and unless we can prove our ROI then we’re just wasting their money!

HQ is based in Newbury, Berkshire, however the rest of the 10-strong team are spread across the south of the UK all the way from Bournemouth to Bristol. Location does not matter, but mandatory quarterly team meets tend to be in the South, such as London and Brighton, therefore candidates have to be willing to travel to these locations.
