Trainee SEO Executive Bristol

Hatch Digital Marketing Ltd is a small Bristol-based agency (2–10 employees, founded in 2021). Clients praise a proactive, caring, and transparent team that delivers strong PPC and SEO results and often goes above and beyond to support their needs. Public information on employee experience or compensation is scarce—there’s no publicly posted numeric rating specifically for Hatch Digital Marketing Bristol, and CSR, sustainability, or formal career development details aren’t publicly documented. Because public reviews are limited for this small firm, there are no widely reported criticisms; sentiment should be interpreted with caution as it may not reflect all roles or long-term opportunities.

What does the role involve?

The Trainee SEO Executive role is a structured 12-month path from fundamentals to managing accounts under supervision, with the aim of running those accounts as a full SEO Executive within 18–24 months. You’ll cover the technical, strategic, toolkit, and commercial sides of SEO as part of a hands-on learning journey.

What makes Hatch's trainee program unique?

This role is designed for a long-term digital marketing career and does not require prior SEO experience. We’ll teach you our own methods in a supportive, feedback-driven environment, helping you grow quickly while staying focused.

What qualifications and traits are you looking for?

We value at least 2 years of professional experience, comfort with spreadsheets, and basic digital literacy. You should be a detail-oriented, self-motivated, quiet learner who embraces feedback as a fast track to improvement.

What will I learn and which tools will I use?

You’ll explore the technical side (crawl issues, site diagnostics), the strategic side (keyword research, competitor analysis, user intent), and the toolkit (Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics, Google Search Console). Training is delivered by our Co-Founder plus curated learning resources.

How does progression, salary, and reviews work?

Salary is £22,000 – £26,000 p/a (DOE), with formal reviews at 6 and 12 months and salary increases tied to development milestones. The role sits on a clear path from Trainee to SEO Executive to SEO Manager, with increasing responsibility along the way.

Where is the role based and what’s the team like?

Based in Bristol (BS24 7JP), just a 5-minute walk from Worle train station, you’ll join a small, focused team with strong client retention and steady organic growth. It’s a hands-on environment that values curiosity, collaboration, and real results.
