SEO Associate
What to Expect
Wonderist Agency is a full-service marketing agency that supports 1,200+ dentists around the country. We pride ourselves on ditching the old fashioned marketing model of stock photos and templated sites. We strive to tell our clients’ stories with bespoke brands, impactful photo and video shoots, and stunning website design (Here is a great example of our work: www.valordentaltx.com)
We’re a team of over 90+ passionate marketers with our headquarters nestled in sunny San Diego. We are walking distance from local hangouts, bars, and the famed Liberty Station. While many companies simply check the required boxes when it comes to culture, a well-balanced team and positive office culture has been the core of our success from the start. We are a social team at heart, and that is one constant that hasn’t changed with all the movement this economy and industry has seen. We have embraced a hybrid work model where local team members come in at least two days a week. This allows us to work from home and have flexibility, without altogether forgoing the excitement and moments of collaboration and inspiration you can only get from in-person time. Not to mention, we also genuinely enjoy spending time together and socializing.
We celebrate new ideas and prioritize a culture of trust and respect where team members can grow and take risks. Each quarter we host events under our four cultural pillars; health & wellness, personal & professional development, social good, and social. We are proud to have been named: San Diego Business Journal’s Best Places to Work in: 2018, 2021, 2022 and 2023, Inc 5000 Regionals Fastest Growing Companies in: 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025, and 2026, San Diego Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies list in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, Inc Best Workplaces list in: 2024 and 2025, and Inc. 5000 for the last 6 years (2019-2025)!

JOB DESCRIPTION:
The SEO Associate supports the day-to-day execution of SEO campaigns across our dental client base. Working closely with U.S.-based specialists, you'll handle tracking and analytics setup for new accounts, keyword research, on-page optimization, technical fixes, and local SEO — the hands-on, on-site work that gets campaigns launched correctly and keeps them moving.
This is a role for someone who wants to build real SEO depth. You'll work across a wide range of client sites, learn from senior specialists daily, and see the direct impact of your work in the data.

Install and configure Google Tag Manager, and confirm there is exactly one container and one property on the site.
Set up Google Search Console — verify ownership, submit the XML sitemap, request indexing, and link the property to GA4.
Verify every installation before sign-off using Tag Assistant and GA4 real-time — confirming the correct IDs are firing and events are recording.
Set up client dashboards and integrate data sources in Agency Analytics.
Troubleshooting
Diagnose tracking issues — tags not firing, events not recording, duplicate containers or properties, and conversions that stop reporting.
Investigate sudden drops in traffic or conversions to determine whether the cause is a tracking failure or a genuine performance change.
Resolve access and permission issues across Google properties, and coordinate with clients or internal teams to get what's needed.
Keyword Research & On-Page Optimization
Research and select target keywords for client websites, accounting for searc
