JOB OVERVIEW

We are a US-based digital marketing agency looking for a senior SEO specialist who can run a full technical audits for new leads, existing clients, work on architecting fixes, and feed into the development of the overall strategy. This is 15-20 hours per week to start, with a clear path to full-time.

Role summary:

You own SEO execution across our own properties and our client accounts. That includes diagnosing sites, implementing on-page and technical fixes in WordPress, owning local search presence, and building off-site visibility. You will also own our presence on one high-value community platform where AI search engines source answers, working from a playbook we have already written.

Responsibilities:

• Run full site crawls with Screaming Frog and turn the export into a prioritized findings list with evidence, not a raw data dump
• Produce prospect-facing audit findings on new business opportunities, on a defined turnaround
• Implement on-page optimization: heading structure, content placement and sequencing on the page, internal linking, metadata, and answer-first formatting for AI Overview and answer-engine visibility
• Build and validate schema markup, and troubleshoot rich result eligibility
• Apply current experience, expertise, authoritativeness, and trust practices, and structure content for information gain rather than restating what already ranks
• Own Google Business Profile management and directory citation building and cleanup across multiple local businesses
• Execute off-site work: third-party platform publishing, digital PR, brand mention acquisition, and social surfaces that feed search visibility
• Manage a disclosed, community-first presence on a major discussion platform, following our existing playbook and its posting ratios
• Pull, interpret, and report from Google Analytics 4 and Google Search Console
• Implement everything hands-on in WordPress using Rank Math

Must have:

• 3 or more years of SEO in an agency environment, working across multiple client accounts and multiple industries at the same time
• Fluent, independent use of Screaming Frog. You must be able to explain what you check first in a 400-page crawl and why
• Expert-level WordPress, including Rank Math, and comfort with Elementor. Yoast familiarity is fine as a substitute background
• Working command of Ahrefs. Exposure to Semrush, SpyFu, or SEOptimer is a plus, not a requirement
• Demonstrable Google Analytics 4 and Search Console skill, including reading a query report and diagnosing a traffic drop
• Hands-on local SEO experience: Google Business Profile, citation building, NAP consistency at scale
• Genuine off-page experience placing content and earning mentions on sites you do not own
• Written English strong enough to write a findings summary a client executive will read
• Reliable internet and a machine that can run Screaming Frog on large crawls
Nice to have
• Experience optimizing specifically for AI Overviews, ChatGPT, or Perplexity citation
• Surfer SEO
• Experience with regulated or considered-purchase B2B verticals
• Community platform participation history under a real account with real karma

Finalist stage

Finalists complete a paid audit assignment using their own tools and systems before any offer is made. This is real paid work, not spec work.

Start your application with the words CRAWL BUDGET on the first line. Applications without it are deleted unread.

Screening questions
1. Walk me through the first five things you check when you open a Screaming Frog export of a 400-page site. Why those five first?
2. A client’s organic traffic dropped 40 percent over six weeks. Their rankings barely moved. What is your diagnostic sequence?
3. Describe a specific schema implementation you built and what result it produced.
4. Describe how you have earned links or brand mentions on websites you do not own or control. Be specific about the method.
5. How many Google Business Profiles have you personally managed at once, and what is your process for citation cleanup?
6. What has changed in how you structure page content in the last 18 months because of AI search results?
7. What are your current commitments? List every other client or employer and the hours each takes weekly.
8. What is your home internet speed and can your machine crawl a 5,000-URL site without failing?
