SEO Manager at Bodybuilding.com
September 2011
With over 4,000,000+ visits a week, Bodybuilding.com is the largest and most visited online supplement store in the world. Our success comes from the foundational principles the company was built on: Provide the best Information, Motivation, & Supplements in the Health & Fitness industry. Our dedication to providing the incredible content we publish every week would be the envy of most Internet Marketers. I truly feel I have one of the sweetest SEO jobs available. It's much easier to make recommendations and suggestions when the entire company understands the value search engines can provide. It's not our main focus, but it is critically important to our business and is a top priority. Some of the typical tasks and projects I work on include: Weekly SEO reporting - Identify positive and negative trends on a macro and keyword level. (I use Tableau, mad Excel skills, and more) Weekly 404 reporting - Find site errors and get them redirected to the correct pages. Weekly Article/Content optimization - We publish around 15-20 super, high-quality articles a week. I make sure the words we use are words people search for. Manage Google Webmaster tools Manage seoClarity (Enterprise Rank Tracking Software) Research Macro search trends that could impact our site. Support multiple cross-channel teams as a Project Manager to get large projects completed. Keyword Research Support and partner with SEM to identify high ROI keywords Recommend International SEO best practices.
