01 — The Opportunity

Why Search Works Differently in Recruiting.

TWO MARKETS

Clients and Candidates

“IT staffing agency [city]” and “[role] jobs” are different funnels with different economics. The agencies that win build for both deliberately.

THE NICHE EDGE

Specialists Out-Rank Generalists

“Healthcare recruiters,” “SaaS sales staffing” — vertical pages meet employers already sold on a specialist, at a fraction of the generic competition.

THE JOB-PAGE TRAP

Expired Listings Rot Rankings

Job posts expire and leave thin dead pages behind. Evergreen role and vertical hubs hold the authority listings alone bleed away.

02 — Who You Work With

Recruiting SEO, Done Directly.

Connor Cedro, SEO consultant

Hey, I'm Connor. Recruiting SEO is a two-sided architecture — vertical hubs that win employer searches, role content that attracts placeable candidates, and none of the expired-listing rot. I'm a SEMrush-certified SEO consultant with an MBA from SMU's Cox School of Business, based in Tampa and working with agencies nationwide. You work with me directly — no account managers, no contracts.

08 — The Playbook

The Recruitment Agencies Playbook.

THE OPPORTUNITY

Employer Searches Pay the Fees

Client-side terms are where revenue lives and where most agencies barely compete — a vertical page per specialty wins retained work.

THE MECHANISM

Hubs Outlive Listings

Role and vertical hubs accumulate authority that individual job posts can't — and every new listing plugs into structure instead of starting from zero.

VS. THE ALTERNATIVE

Job Boards Own the Aggregated Game

You won't out-rank the boards for generic job terms — and don't need to. Specialty and employer searches are the winnable, profitable layer.

09 — Common Questions

Questions Before You Book.

Does SEO work for recruitment agencies?

Yes — especially employer-side: vertical staffing searches carry retained-fee intent and thin competition, while candidate content compounds the database.

What should a recruiting firm rank for?

Vertical + location staffing terms, role-family hubs, and salary or hiring-guide content both sides actually search.

How should job listings be handled for SEO?

Inside evergreen hubs with proper expiration handling — so authority accrues to pages that persist, not posts that vanish.

How long until an agency sees results?

Vertical employer terms often move in 2–4 months; candidate-content flywheels build across quarters.

Do you require contracts?

No. Everything is month-to-month, and every engagement starts with the free audit so you can see the opportunity before spending anything.

Who does the work?

I do. You work with me directly — no account managers, no outsourcing. That's the entire model.
