Low salaries, Poor progression structure & No benefits

Seo manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Great people & healthy culture

Cons

The salaries are very low, way below what other similar companies are offering. The salary structure hasn't been updated in years, even though the SEO industry has grown exponentially in the past 2 years. Moreover, while the hourly rates charged to clients have increased, staff salaries have remained the same. The low wages in addition to the lack of any other financial benefits, such as a bonus or profit sharing, is causing some of the most talented staff to leave for other agencies that offer fair wages.

Thanks for your feedback, we appreciate it. We are a listening company and are undertaking an external salary benchmarking exercise to ensure our pay remains competitive in line with industry trends. We’ve also put a lot of work recently into our progression structure, developing a matrix which attempts to more clearly define the work skills, support skills, values, and soft skills required to progress. We conduct exit interviews with all leavers to better understand reasons and motivations for leaving, and ensure this feedback is used to help us continually improve as a business and employer. Thanks again for your feedback, and if you do want to chat further just reach out to me or James. Cheers Ben (MD)

Great SEO (Serious Earnings Oppression)

Senior account executive

Recommend

CEO approval

Business outlook

Pros

Amazing, helpful colleagues Free fruit and coffee

Cons

It's very telling when you'll get better pay as a customer assistant at Tesco than working as an SEO exec at this company. It's even more shocking considering how in-demand SEO skills are currently. As other reviews have pointed out, the salaries paid by this company are very much below market value
