Real Estate Bees is a U.S. real estate lead marketplace, running since 2017. We generate motivated-seller leads through SEO, PPC, YouTube and social, and connect homeowners with investors across the country. SEO runs across a portfolio of 100+ websites and is one of our largest acquisition channels. We want a Head of SEO to own that portfolio and scale it.
Why this role exists
Organic is a core growth engine, but it’s running below its ceiling. We want someone who can look at 100+ domains and know which to push, which to consolidate, and where the next block of revenue is hiding. We want a Head of SEO who can look across 100+ domains, identify where to invest, and drive measurable revenue growth — not just traffic.
What you’ll do: * SEO performance and growth across the full domain portfolio * Strategy across content, technical SEO, authority building and AI-search visibility * Day-to-day direction of the SEO team, freelancers and external vendors * Budget allocation and prioritization by business impact * Forecasting and reporting that connects SEO activity to revenue outcomes
What the First 90 Days Look Like:
You’ll spend the first weeks getting deep into the portfolio — understanding what’s working, what’s stalled, and where the biggest leverage points are. From there you’ll be expected to: * Influence department performance with early, data-backed decisions * Build a working relationship with the team and establish a clear operating rhythm * Present your strategic priorities to the Head of Growth and Head of Strategy with evidence behind each call
What we are looking for:
Technical SEO — you’ve ranked competitive keywords in the top 1–3, not just moved them from page 3 to page 2. You understand what actually drives rankings at scale.
Team & Budget Leadership — you’ve managed SEO teams and held a budget. You know how to prioritize spend, direct freelancers and vendors, and get results through other people.
Analytics — you’re comfortable in Search Console, can build a basic forecast, and know how to tie organic traffic to revenue. Data is how you make decisions, not how you explain them after the fact.
Domain Portfolio Management — you’ve worked across multiple sites and know when to consolidate, when to double down, and how to prioritize across a large footprint.
Communication & Advocacy — you can walk a non-SEO stakeholder through your strategy and defend your priorities with numbers. You don’t need consensus to move, but you can earn it.
Nice to have:
Agency / Vendor Management
AI Search Optimization
Real Estate / Lead Gen Domain
This is a high-autonomy role. You’ll set your own priorities, manage your own time, and be evaluated entirely on outcomes. The team and budget are there to support you — but the strategy and accountability are yours.
The culture is direct and fast-moving. We value people who can hold their ground on a decision, back it up with evidence, and move on quickly. Bureaucracy is minimal by design.
What You Get * Ownership of one of the company’s main growth engines, with real budget behind it * Autonomy to build the strategy, systems and team from your own blueprint * Direct, measurable impact on revenue — your wins are visible and recognized * Fast execution environment — decisions move quickly once made
