JOB OVERVIEW

We're a food content brand with a growing recipe blog and we're looking for an SEO expert to help us dominate search in our niche.
This is not a general SEO role. We need someone who knows food blogging and recipe SEO specifically — how Google treats recipe content, what it takes to outrank established food blogs, and how to build sustainable organic traffic that actually converts.
If you've done this before and have rankings and traffic growth to prove it — keep reading.

What You'll Do

Conduct deep keyword research focused on recipe and food content
Audit existing posts and build a clear prioritized optimization plan
Optimize posts for RankMath — schema, headings, internal linking, meta, and more
Identify content gaps and opportunities competitors are winning on
Analyze competitors in the food blogging space and reverse-engineer what's working
Track rankings and organic traffic and report on progress regularly
Advise on site architecture, category structure, and internal linking strategy
Stay current on Google algorithm updates and how they affect food and recipe sites


You're the Right Fit If...

You have 3+ years of SEO experience with a proven track record in the food blogging niche specifically
You can name food blogs you've worked on and show the traffic growth you drove
You know RankMath inside and out
You understand how recipe schema, Helpfulness updates, and E-E-A-T apply to food content
You're familiar with tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, or similar and use data to make decisions
You think in systems — you don't just optimize one post, you build a strategy
You communicate clearly and can translate SEO into plain language for a non-technical team
You work independently and deliver without needing to be chased


This Role Is NOT for You If...

Your SEO experience is in e-commerce, SaaS, or general blogging — food is a different game
You can't show real traffic numbers from past work
You're not up to date on how Google has treated food and recipe sites in recent algorithm updates
You think keyword stuffing and basic meta descriptions are still a strategy
You need a lot of hand-holding to get started


Details

Remote, flexible hours
Project-based or ongoing retainer — open to discuss
Starts with a paid audit and strategy project


How to Apply

A brief intro — who you are and the food blogs you've worked on
Specific examples of rankings or traffic growth you've driven in the food niche, with numbers
Your approach to recipe SEO and how you'd start with a new client
Your rate and availability
