JOB OVERVIEW

We're a US-based company looking for a dedicated Link Building Specialist to own our off-page SEO efforts. This is a focused role — you will not be doing technical SEO, on-page optimization, or content writing for our website. Your sole mission is acquiring high-quality backlinks: through outreach, relationship-building, sponsored placements, local citations, and digital PR.
If you love the hunt of finding relevant sites, pitching them, negotiating placements, and watching a link profile grow, this role is for you.

*****TO APPLY, SUBMIT AN APPLICATION USING THIS LINK: ----------

What You'll Do
- Research and build prospect lists of relevant local and industry-specific websites for backlink opportunities
- Conduct outreach via email and other channels to secure guest posts, resource-page links, and editorial placements
- Manage sponsored and paid placement partnerships, including vetting sites for quality and negotiating rates
- Build local citations and directory listings (especially for local SEO)
- Identify digital PR opportunities to earn links from authoritative publications
- Track all outreach, responses, and placements in a spreadsheet or CRM
- Monitor link metrics (Domain Rating/Domain Authority, traffic, relevance) using tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Moz
- Report weekly on outreach volume, links secured, and pipeline


What We're Looking For
- 2+ years of hands-on link building / off-page SEO experience
- Proven track record of securing backlinks (please include examples or metrics)
- Strong written English and a persuasive, professional outreach style
- Familiarity with SEO tools (Ahrefs, Semrush, Moz, ---------- , or similar)
- Understanding of what makes a backlink high-quality vs. low-quality (relevance, authority, spam signals)
- Awareness of Google's guidelines around link schemes and how to build links that hold up
- Organized, self-directed, and comfortable working independently with US business hours overlap


Nice to Have
- Experience with digital PR or HARO-style earned placements
- Existing relationships with website owners or publishers in relevant niches
