Do you enjoy watching your creativity turn into tangible results that help small business owners increase their chances of growing their dream?

Do you thrive in a fast-paced and team-oriented environment filled with rambunctious behavior and unmatched levels of teamwork that may have you questioning if you’re molding into one cohesive blob of extreme genius?

Do you enjoy team-based, fun-filled discussions that mostly relate to work but may also involve topics that involve Spotify playlists, sports, tv shows and more?

Are you ready to begin your professional career in an environment that flourishes from creative collaboration, animated discussion, high motivation, extreme office pranks and the occasional ping-pong match?

Key Web Concepts, a Midlothian-based digital marketing firm, is on the lookout for an energetic, highly motivated and enthusiastically experienced SEO Specialist to join our crew.

The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in optimizing websites to improve their visibility in the organic search results (SERPs) in Google, Bing, and Yahoo.

You will be a part of our team creating search engine growth to help eager small businesses flourish (and, perhaps, help even up the numbers for Wii Sports teams).
