70+ accounts to manage by myself

You’ve been doing this for almost 3 years?? This is wake up sweating nightmare fuel

Run. Find better. Start planning your escape.

Good luck in your job search, and hopefully will get out of there as soon as possible. I manage around 40 clients and it feels like way too much. 70 is completely ridiculous.

Poach the clients and go direct with 20 of them

selling “seo included” on web builds is a common agency trick to pad retainers by $200-300 a month without doing real work. at roughly one hour per client per month, you aren’t doing seo, you are doing data entry to justify the invoice. your manager knows the output is bad but he is just protecting his profit margins. use those 12 “free” hours he calculated to apply for roles at companies that actually care about growing traffic.

thats honestly wild for one person to handle, especially when seo is being bundled into every new site sale. it sounds like youre trying to do right by the clients which already says a lot, but 70+ accounts with proper quality work just isnt realistic long term and i think youll probably thrive somewhere that actually values your time and skillset more properly

I’ve been doing this 30 years and I’m really fast at getting things done because I basically know where everything is and have muscle memory.
My absolute limit if I’m not having lots meetings and other things, is managing the SEO for just 10 clients.
You’re absolutely right that you can’t do any proper SEO for that many clients by yourself.

Looks like an agency selling BS and a manager completely useless. Just do the minimum and get out of here when you can. That is the problem of perceived value in this industry. Your manager is a parasite making huge margin between you and the customer.
