How to find SEO Managers with Boolean search strings
When hiring SEO managers, using Boolean search logic in Google can help you find resumes and profiles. Our search string examples provide a basis to build your own commands. Modify them to recruit for skilled SEO managers or specialists who can oversee your website optimization efforts.
Create a Boolean search string for SEO managers around terms like:
- -job -jobs -sample -examples, to avoid irrelevant results
- (“SEO manager” OR “SEO strategist”), to cover similar job titles
- (intitle:resume OR intitle:cv), to discover candidates’ online resumes or CVs
Here’s an example of a generic search string to find resumes of SEO managers:
(intitle:resume OR intitle:cv) (“SEO manager” OR “SEO strategist”) -job -jobs -sample -examples -”resume services”
With this search string, the words “resume” or “CV” have to appear in the page title. Adding variations of search engine optimization job titles provides more relevant results. And, excluding more terms reduces false positives.
Searching for profiles of SEO managers
Search for profiles on specific sites through Google by including the site: operator and terms found exclusively on member profiles. For example:
- site:meetup.com (“SEO manager” OR “SEO specialist”) “member since”
- site:quora.com (“SEO manager” OR “SEO strategist”) “credentials & highlights”
- site:plus.google.com (“SEO manager” OR “SEO director”)
Add more criteria in your search to find profiles that better match your requirements.
