Part-Time | Remote | Long-Term Opportunity
Are you passionate about driving real results for clients through smart, ethical SEO? We’re a U.S.-based digital marketing agency searching for a motivated SEO Content & Local SEO Specialist to join our remote team. This part-time position offers plenty of room to grow as you help us shape the future of local search for our clients.
Our agency partners with service-based businesses and specializes in WordPress websites. We’re looking for someone skilled at both strategy and hands-on SEO, including content creation, local optimization, WordPress publishing, schema, and ongoing improvements.
This role is much more than backlink building. We want someone who truly understands how keyword research, website architecture, content, local SEO, technical fixes, and search intent all connect to drive traffic and generate real leads.
Responsibilities
* Keyword and competitor research
* SEO content strategy and topic planning
* SEO blog writing and optimization
* Service page writing
* Unique city/location page writing
* Local SEO strategy and implementation
* Google Business Profile optimization
* Titles and meta descriptions
* H1/H2/H3 optimization
* Internal linking
* WordPress publishing and formatting
* Rank Math and/or Yoast
* Schema markup, including Local Business, Service, Article and FAQ schema
* Google Search Console
* GA4 and basic SEO reporting
* Existing content audits and optimization
* Identifying new SEO opportunities
* Basic technical SEO
* Ethical backlink research and outreach when appropriate
* WordPress and Elementor a plus (willing to teach the right candidate)
AEO / AI Search Optimization
If you have experience with AEO, AI Search optimization, answer engine optimization, AI Overviews, structured content for LLMs, or emerging search behavior, that’s a major plus.
This is becoming an important part of how we approach SEO and content strategy.
You don’t have to be an expert yet, but we’re looking for someone who gets where search is headed and is eager to learn and apply these strategies.
Required Experience
Strong experience with:
* Local SEO
* SEO content strategy
* SEO copywriting
* Keyword research
* Service and city/location pages
* WordPress

* Schema / structured data
* Google Search Console
* Google Business Profile
* Internal linking

*Analyzing the monthly statistics for an End of Month report
Experience with SEMrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, GA4, Elementor, AEO / AI Search optimization and AI tools such as ChatGPT is a plus.
Backlink know-how is helpful, but we care only about quality, legitimate SEO. We never use PBNs, spam, automated links, or high-risk shortcuts.
Writing Quality
Excellent written English is required.
We’re not looking for cookie-cutter SEO copy just to meet a word count. You should understand:
* Search intent
* The customer's problem
* The company's solution
* Trust factors
* How website content should encourage visitors to take action
AI can help with research, planning, and drafting, but every final piece must be accurate, original, valuable, and carefully reviewed before delivery. We are happy to share with you our process and are open to the right candidate helping us shape this role to deliver better results for our clients.
What We're Looking For
Someone who:
* Thinks strategically
* Has excellent attention to detail
* Can work independently
* Follows established processes
* Identifies opportunities proactively
* Communicates clearly
* Meets deadlines
* Can manage work across several client accounts
* Takes ownership of their work
* Is interested in a long-term position
* Wants to grow with the role as responsibilities expand
* Personality matters to us. We believe work should be fun, and we want you to bring your authentic self to the team. We're not a stuffy operation, so let your personality shine.
Schedule
We are initially looking for approximately 10–15 hours per week.
Our aim is to start part-time and grow into more hours and responsibility as our working relationship succeeds and our workload expands.
Consistent quality, clear communication, and meeting deadlines matter to us more than sticking to strict U.S. business hours. A bit of overlap with Eastern Time is sometimes helpful.
How to Apply
Please include:
1. A short explanation of your SEO experience.
2. Your experience with Local SEO and WordPress.
3. One service or city/location page you have written. Include the meta data/research
4. One SEO blog article you have written.
5. Examples of schema you have implemented.
6. The SEO tools you regularly use.
7. Your Google Business Profile experience.
8. Any experience with AEO, AI Search optimization, AI Overviews or optimizing content for emerging search platforms.
9. Your backlink-building experience, if applicable.
10. Your desired hourly rate.
11. How many hours per week you currently have available.
Start your application with the words "Local SEO" so we know you read the entire posting.
If you don’t have all of those skills and have some and are willing to learn, please apply!
Hiring Process
Shortlisted applicants will have a brief interview followed by a small paid SEO test based on the type of work we regularly perform.
The test may include:
* Keyword research
* Content recommendations
* Metadata
* Page structure
* Local SEO recommendations
* Schema recommendations
* A short writing sample
We're ready to start part-time and build a long-term partnership with the right person. If you're passionate about helping clients win with smart, ethical SEO, and eager to grow your own role as we grow, let's talk. Join us to create standout results and lasting impact for our clients.
