JOB OVERVIEW

Senior SEO Specialist – Full-Time + Remote

$1,300-1,800/month base + $100-$500/month performance bonus

About Us

We're a fast-growing SEO agency helping local service businesses dominate search results. Our team is small, sharp, and results-driven. We value clear communication and extreme ownership. We stay ahead of our industry with heavy investment in AI systems. We're US-based, serving US clients exclusively.

About the Role

We're hiring a full-time contract SEO specialist (4–5+ years of experience) to own 6-12 local SEO client campaigns end to end. You'll manage strategy (alongside the team lead), execution, reporting, and client deliverables - with autonomy over how you manage your time and make decisions.

This isn't just a task-completion role. Our clients are real business owners whose livelihoods depend on results. We need someone who feels the weight of that and operates accordingly: flagging issues early, bringing solutions, and keeping campaigns moving forward without being asked. You'll earn performance bonuses tied directly to problem solving and client retention.

What You'll Do

- Manage the full SEO lifecycle for 6–12 clients
- Run comprehensive audits: technical, local, content, backlink, etc
- Conduct keyword research and execute on-page, technical, local, and content SEO strategies
- Optimize Google Business Profiles
- Configure and manage GA4, GSC, and GTM
- Track performance, send weekly internal updates, and build monthly client reports
- Use AI tools to streamline workflows, solve problems independently, and contribute to internal automation projects

Required Qualifications

- 4-5+ years managing local SEO campaigns with proven results
- Experience managing multiple client accounts simultaneously
- Strong knowledge of local SEO (Map Pack, GBP optimization) and organic SEO
- Comfortable with basic HTML/CSS and writing technical SEO guidelines
- Hands-on experience using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) for research, content, troubleshooting, and/or automation
- Familiarity with core SEO tools: GA4, GSC, GTM, Ahrefs or SEMrush, Screaming Frog, and local SEO tools (Local Dominator, Local Falcon, or similar)
- Native English proficiency
- Reliable high-speed internet

Who You Are

- Accountable - You see tasks through and own the outcome, good or bad
- Self-managed - You deliver quality work consistently without needing oversight
- Proactive - You surface updates, flag risks, and solve problems before they escalate
- Results-focused - You care about what the work produces, not just checking boxes
- AI-forward - You already use AI in your daily work and are excited to push further
- Collaborative - You share knowledge openly, take feedback well, and leave ego at the door

What We Offer

- Compensation: $1,300–$1,800/month USD base (based on experience) + $100-$500/month performance bonuses tied to campaign health and client retention
- Employment type: Full-time independent contractor
- Schedule: CST business hours
- Location: 100% remote
- Growth: Clear path to Senior Lead or Team Manager as we scale
- Learning: Paid access to training resources and industry consultants

How to Apply

Submit the following to ----------

- Resume
- 2-3 case studies with specific metrics (map rankings, organic traffic, leads generated, etc.)
- A 2 minute video (YouTube, Loom, or similar) answering:
---> What's your name?
---> What motivates you in your life? (Be honest)
---> What's the coolest result you've driven with SEO?
---> Why are you a good fit for this role?

Do NOT just read off of AI please.

No video = automatic pass. We use this to assess communication skills and personality fit — keep it casual.
