About us

In 2002, we became the first insurance comparison site. Our purpose? To make the process of sorting your insurance, utilities or personal finances as easy as possible.

We’re part of RVU. A group of online brands that include Uswitch, Tempcover and money.co.uk. As a group, we use our shared knowledge to empower people, and help them make decisions confidently across a range of household services.

This is an exciting opportunity for an SEO Assistant to get hands-on and support driving organic growth within our Insurance brands (Confused.com and Uswitch).

You’ll be spending your time as part of a team doing data-driven SEO and collaborating with the wider Content, Product and marketing teams. You’ll be optimising existing pages, creating new pages, and launching new web assets in order to capture ranking traffic to provide an excellent customer experience, all with the support of the wider team.
