About the roleThe SEO Product Manager turns the team's strategy into shipped, measurable results. You'll own a defined set of SEO surfaces and experiments within the Traffic portfolio, decide what to tackle first based on impact, and get it built, often by building it yourself with AI coding tools. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves to ship, wants to learn how every part of Zillow's organic growth engine fits together, and is looking for a clear path to grow into larger ownership.
You will get to
- Own and grow a defined space within the Traffic portfolio (for example, new construction search visibility, landing pages, and calculators), prioritizing the work with the biggest impact on organic visits and AI visibility.
- Run SEO experiments at a steady cadence, including internal linking tests and page-type experiments, and turn the results into clear recommendations and rollouts.
- Build and ship with AI coding tools (for example, Claude Code): stand up landing pages, calculators, prototypes, and experiments directly, and partner with engineers when the work needs to go further.
- Scale programmatic and community-driven pages, such as agent and professional directory pages with reviews and insights, forums, and local highlights.
- Partner with our content lead on long-form content production and optimization, including automating the data inside content so it stays accurate and current.
- Work with engineering to translate SEO requirements (crawling, rendering, indexing, structured data, and internal linking) into clearly scoped work, and verify that what ships does what was intended.
- Measure what you ship using search, analytics, and AI visibility data, and share results and trade-offs in clear, concise updates.
- Support teammates across the Traffic team where help is needed most, building a working knowledge of the whole system.
