SEO Account Manager Glasgow

Glasgow-based Loud Mouth Media is publicly positioned as a multi-award-winning digital performance agency with a Glasgow office and a culture described as transparent and “good craic.” Cited strengths include a track record of industry accolades (UK Paid Media Awards 2022–2023, UK Search Awards) and Google Premier Partner status, complemented by client testimonials praising campaign performance and responsiveness. Common criticisms or concerns include limited publicly available information on compensation or career development (the Careers page shows no current vacancies) and online warnings about scams/brand confusion tied to similarly named Loudmouthmedia-app domains. Quantitative ratings are scarce for employees, but client-review aggregators report a 5.0/5 Google rating from about 22 reviews, which reflects client satisfaction rather than employee sentiment. Overall, representativeness is moderate given the small private size (11–50 employees) and reliance on client reviews and awards rather than extensive employee feedback, with no public Glassdoor score available.
