Level Shoes Turned a Managed-Service SEO Hire Into a Full-Time Team Member

The Challenge
Level Shoes is one of the region's largest luxury footwear and fashion retailers, with a large and complex e-commerce catalogue. They wanted someone who understood e-commerce SEO specifically, not general digital marketing, to keep the online store visible and competitive in search, and they wanted to see the impact for themselves before making it a permanent role.
The Solution
RemoteOne placed an e-commerce SEO specialist, based in Egypt with deep experience in the space, as a managed-service engagement. He worked remotely across Level Shoes' product pages, category structure, and technical SEO on an ongoing basis.
Proving the Fit First
Level Shoes wanted e-commerce SEO expertise and wanted to see real results before turning it into a permanent role. Instead of running a traditional full-time search from day one, they started with RemoteOne on a managed-service basis, working with a specialist who had genuine e-commerce SEO experience rather than general marketing knowledge.
Eight Months of Steady Work
The specialist, based in Egypt, worked across Level Shoes' product pages, category structure, and technical SEO on an ongoing basis. Traffic and search rankings improved over the course of the engagement, and the working relationship with the Level Shoes team got stronger month over month.
From Managed Service to Full-Time
After eight months, the results and the fit were clear enough that Level Shoes decided to bring him on as a full-time hire rather than continue on a managed-service basis. It's the outcome we look for with managed-service engagements: give a business a low-risk way to bring in specialist skill, and let the results make the case for a permanent role.
