About the role

At Nickel SEO, our clients stay because someone makes sure they're genuinely taken care of. We're looking for that someone.

You'll own our client relationships end to end, keep our quality bar high, and be the last set of eyes before anything reaches a client. If you like being the reason clients stay — and renew, and refer — this is a rare seat with real ownership and a direct line to the owner.

About Nickel SEO

Nickel SEO is a Fort Worth digital marketing agency. We help local service businesses — HVAC companies, dentists, medical and dental practices, attorneys, contractors, and more — get found on Google and turn that visibility into real revenue, not vanity metrics.

We're lean and efficient: small team, big impact, no bureaucracy. You'd work directly with the owner and have real say in how clients experience us.

What you'll do

• Own the client relationship. Be the main point of contact — onboarding, regular check-ins, questions, and the occasional "can you also help with…" conversation.
• Run reporting and communication. Translate what's happening in the data into plain-language updates clients actually understand and value.
• Be the final quality check. Review every deliverable — content, on-page work, reports — for quality and accuracy before it reaches a client. You set the standard everything is measured against.
• Coordinate the bench. Keep contractors and specialists moving and make sure deliverables land on time.
• Protect and grow the book. Spot accounts at risk before they churn, and surface natural upsell opportunities when a client's ready for more.

What we're looking for

• 2+ years in a client-facing or account management role (agency, SaaS, or services).
• Working knowledge of SEO and digital marketing — enough to talk credibly with clients and sanity-check the work. You don't need to be a senior strategist; you do need to know the difference between good and bad.
• A sharp eye for detail. You're the person who notices the wrong title, the broken image, the typo nobody else caught.
• Efficient with tools and quick to pick up new systems.
• Clear, proactive communication and strong organization. You keep things from slipping.

Bonus points

• Prior agency experience.
• Hands-on SEO skills (on-page, local SEO, Google Business Profile, audits).
• WordPress familiarity.
• Copywriting or editing chops.

The details

1. Type: Full-time.
2. Location: On-site at our Fort Worth, TX office.
3. Compensation: Base $40,000 + commissions

   Base salary

   $40,000 / year, paid on the company's standard payroll schedule, less applicable withholdings.

   Commission

   1. New-client commission — 10%

   • Paid monthly as 10% of each invoice actually collected from that client, for up to twelve months from the client's start date.
   • Calculated on collected revenue only — not signed contracts.

   Examples:

   • New client at $1,500/mo → ~$1,800 over year one.
   • New client with a $5,000 build + $1,500/mo → ~$2,300 over year one (one-time fees included).

   2. Upsell / expansion commission — 10% (residual, 12 months)

   • 10% of the incremental monthly fee when an existing client expands (new service or a higher retainer).
   • Paid as a residual: 10% of the added monthly amount, each month, for twelve months from the date the higher fee begins.
   • Calculated on collected revenue only.

Payment terms

1. • Commissions are calculated on collected revenue and paid with the regular payroll cycle following collection (generally one cycle in arrears).
   • No cap on commission earnings.

How to apply

Email benjamin@nickelseo.com with a short intro, your resume, and your availability. There will be an in-person interview for those that are considered.

In your application, skip the generic cover letter. Instead, tell us about one client relationship you saved or grew: what was going wrong, what you did, and what changed. We care more about how you think than how you format a résumé.
