JOB OVERVIEW

SEO Specialist (Rankings & Growth) — Part-Time Contractor (Remote, U.S. CST Hours)

We're a U.S.-based digital marketing company looking for a results-driven SEO specialist to rank our pages and grow revenue across a portfolio of B2B, local service, e-commerce, and local media brands.

Our technical foundation is already solid — clean sites, proper indexing, good structure. We don't need someone to fix plumbing. We need someone who can take pages that are built right and get them ranking for keywords that make money.

This is a long-term, part-time contractor role. 4 hours/day, Monday–Friday, 8 AM – 12 PM CST. Real-time Slack overlap required.

What you'll do:

- Identify the commercial-intent keywords that actually drive leads and revenue, and build a plan to rank for them
- Content strategy and optimization built to rank AND convert — not blog fluff
- On-page optimization of money pages (service pages, category pages, local pages)
- Competitive analysis — find where competitors outrank us and take their positions
- Local SEO and Google Business Profile optimization to win local pack rankings
- Coordinate with our backlink team to point authority at the right pages
- Track rankings, traffic, and lead/revenue impact with clear weekly reporting

What we're looking for:

- 3+ years driving measurable ranking and traffic growth — not just technical cleanup
- A track record of moving pages up the SERP for competitive, money keywords (with real before/after numbers)
- Understanding of how rankings turn into leads and revenue, not just traffic for traffic's sake
- Local SEO / Google Business Profile experience
- Strong written English for real-time Slack
- Someone who executes and reports clearly, without hand-holding

Important — please read before applying:

We care about rankings that make money, not vanity traffic or blog volume. Our technical SEO is already handled. We want someone who can look at a page, identify the keywords worth winning, and actually move us up the rankings for them — then turn those rankings into leads.

A trial task IS required before any contractor agreement. Non-negotiable.

To apply, answer all five (applications missing any are ignored):

1. Name one page or site you moved up the rankings for a competitive, commercial keyword. What was the keyword, where did it rank before, where did it end up, and what did that do for traffic or leads? Real numbers.
2. Walk me through how you'd take a service page currently ranking on page 2 for a money keyword and get it to page 1. What's your actual process?
3. How do you d ---------- which keywords are worth targeting? What separates a keyword worth ranking for from one that's a waste of time?
4. Confirmation you can work 8 AM–12 PM CST, Mon–Fri.
5. IQ test score from ---------- /take-the-test/, free version is emailed to you.

We move quickly with the right person.
