What a fractional seo director owns

A fractional seo director owns the strategy and the outcome, not the execution. They set the plan, decide where budget and people go, establish how success is measured, and hold the function accountable — including the parts run by agencies or contractors.

Hiring a fractional seo director — questions

What does a fractional seo director do?

A fractional seo director does the same job as a full-time one, at a fraction of the week — typically one to three days — for companies that need the capability but not the headcount. Directors work well fractionally because the highest-value part of the role — the decisions and the operating structure — is concentrated rather than continuous. One to two days a week is a common arrangement.

Pangea's part is fixed and visible: every candidate is shown with their own rate, a flat 15% platform fee, and the all-in total, itemised before you commit.
