Senior SEO & Content Growth Specialist — Part-Time, 25 Hours/Week
We are seeking an experienced Senior SEO & Content Growth Specialist to drive organic growth across a portfolio of healthcare, mental health, professional education, and online service brands.
This is a hands-on execution role.
We are not looking for someone who simply produces blog posts, runs keyword reports, or schedules social content. We need someone who can identify meaningful growth opportunities, execute against them, and improve measurable performance across search, AI-driven discovery, content, and social media.
Hours: Approximately 25 hours per week
Schedule: Part-time, ongoing
Work Arrangement: Remote

You will work across several established brands, including:
Kentucky Counseling Center

These businesses operate across mental healthcare, telehealth, emotional support animal evaluations, and continuing education for behavioral health professionals.

Identifying high-value ranking opportunities
On-page SEO

Writing and editing SEO-focused blog content
Optimizing existing articles
Structuring content around search intent
Building internal-linking strategies
Identifying opportunities to strengthen topical authority
Ensuring content is accurate, useful, and competitive
Several of our brands operate within healthcare and mental health, so content quality and accuracy matter.
We are not interested in publishing generic AI-generated content.
AI tools may be used to improve efficiency, but the final product must demonstrate strong research, judgment, editing, and subject relevance.
AI Search / GEO / AEO
We want to improve visibility not only in traditional Google search, but also in AI-driven search environments.
You should understand or be actively working with:
Google AI Overviews
Generative Engine Optimization

Perplexity
Entity authority
Topical authority
Structured answers
Citation-worthy content
FAQ and question-based content
Schema opportunities
You should be able to explain how you would adapt traditional SEO strategies for the changing search environment.
Social Media Content & Engagement
You will also support social media growth and content distribution across our brands.
Responsibilities include:
Developing content calendars
Creating social posts
Writing captions
Repurposing blog content into social content
Creating educational and engaging posts
Identifying timely content opportunities
Scheduling and publishing content
Monitoring engagement
Supporting responses and community interaction
Reviewing performance and adjusting strategy
We are not looking for someone who posts simply to maintain a posting schedule.
Social content should support brand authority, engagement, traffic, and growth.
What Success Looks Like
We care about outcomes, not just completed tasks.
Success in this role should contribute to:
More Page 1 keyword rankings
Improved rankings for high-value keywords
Increased qualified organic traffic
Increased non-branded search visibility

Ideal Candidate
You will likely be a strong fit if you:
Can independently identify SEO opportunities
Are highly comfortable working inside Ahrefs and Search Console
Understand the difference between traffic and valuable traffic
Know how to prioritize keywords based on business value, not just search volume
Can improve existing content rather than constantly recommending new content
Can write and edit strong long-form content
Understand how SEO, content, AI search, and social distribution work together
Can operate independently without needing constant direction
Are comfortable being held accountable to measurable results

This role is not a good fit if your primary strategy consists of:
Mass-producing AI articles
Keyword stuffing
Buying low-quality backlinks
Publishing content without search-intent research
Reporting traffic without understanding business outcomes
Creating generic social posts with no strategic purpose
Waiting for someone else to tell you exactly what to work on
We need someone who can recognize opportunities and take ownership of execution.
