A recruitment agency has two audiences to win: employers who need talent and candidates who want a job. We build SEO that serves both, from job pages that appear in Google for Jobs to sector pages that win clients.
Recruitment agency SEO is the work of making a staffing or recruiting firm visible to two audiences: employers searching for recruiters in a sector or location, and candidates searching for jobs. It combines sector and location pages, job listings optimized for Google for Jobs, candidate and employer content and strong local and brand signals.
Few businesses have a harder two-sided search problem. Employers compare agencies by specialty and reputation. Candidates search for specific jobs, salaries and career advice. A good SEO plan builds content and pages for each, without muddling them.
We combine SEO with job-structured data, sector expertise pages and local visibility, and support them with Google Ads for hiring pushes.

Google for Jobs can show your roles directly in search results when job pages use JobPosting structured data correctly. It can bring candidates at no cost per click.
The details matter, since errors can keep jobs out of the results.
Employers and candidates search very differently.
“Tech recruitment agency [city]”, “healthcare staffing”: sector and location searches by hiring managers.
“Accountant jobs [city]”: candidates searching for roles, often in Google for Jobs.
“Software engineer salary”, “how to prepare for an interview”: broad, high-volume, trust-building.
Employers and candidates check reviews and your reputation before engaging.

Expect an audit and fixes in the first month, page and profile improvements in the second, and growing calls and bookings in the third, with reporting you can read.
Hiring has seasons: budgets reset in January, candidates move after bonuses and mid-year reviews, and hiring slows in summer and the holidays. Plan content around both audiences.
Salary guides and market reports published at the right moment earn links and leads.
There is no shortage of agencies that promise to put recruitment agencies on page one. These questions find the ones who can.
We answer every one of these on a first call.
Ask for examples and numbers you can verify. Industry experience shortens the learning curve and avoids expensive mistakes.
Profile access is valuable. You should keep owner access, and the agency should follow Google’s guidelines to the letter.
The answer should be a request to clients and placed candidates at the right moment, across the platforms each audience uses, with every review answered. Never bought or gated.
Look for calls, bookings and revenue by service and location, not only rankings and traffic.
Your content, accounts, data and profile should always be yours, with no lock-in.

Recruitment sites often blur both audiences.
We report on outcomes you care about: calls, bookings and revenue by service and location, with rankings and traffic as supporting evidence.
