AI-driven discovery is reshaping how audiences find brands, and we are helping our clients lead the way — across AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and beyond. We are looking for a senior SEO and AI search specialist contractor to help our clients show up where their audiences are searching now. Approximately 10 hours per week, ongoing, across a mix of B2B and B2C projects.
• Audit and strategy: Conduct technical and content SEO audits, identify AI search visibility gaps, and recommend prioritized roadmaps.
• AI search optimization: Improve client visibility in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini through structured data, entity optimization, citation strategy, and answer-first content.
• Keyword and content strategy: Lead keyword research, search intent mapping, and content briefs for both traditional SERPs and AI surfaces.
• Technical SEO: Review crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and rendering. Partner with client or internal dev teams on fixes.
• Measurement and reporting: Set up and interpret performance data across GA4, Google Search Console, Ahrefs/SEMrush, and AI visibility tools (Profound, Otterly, Peec AI).
• Tool exploration: Help us evaluate new AI search tools as they emerge. Curiosity matters.
• Cross-functional collaboration: Brief our writers and designers on SEO/AEO requirements and join client calls as the SEO subject matter expert.
• 5–10+ years of hands-on SEO experience across technical, on-page, and content optimization. Agency or enterprise background preferred.
• Active work in AI search optimization — AEO, GEO, and AIO. We know this space is new; we want someone experimenting with real results to point to, not someone claiming a decade of expertise that doesn't exist yet.
• Fluent in the modern tool stack: Ahrefs or SEMrush, Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, Schema.org, and at least one AI visibility tracker.
• Strong content instincts. You understand how editorial quality, entity clarity, and answer-first structure drive both rankings and AI citations.
• Clear communicator. You can translate technical concepts for non-technical clients and write recommendations creative teams can act on.
• Comfortable with ambiguity. You test, measure, and adjust rather than wait for settled best practices.
• Mix of B2B and B2C experience, ideally including technical/enterprise B2B and consumer brands.
• International or multi-region SEO experience.
• Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as they relate to SEO.
• Familiarity with Webflow, WordPress, or HubSpot CMS.
• Published thought leadership or community presence in SEO/AI search.
Hours: ~5-10 hours per week, with flexibility to scale for project needs
Rate: $100–$150 per hour, commensurate with experience
Location: Remote (global)
Start: Immediate, with an initial 90-day evaluation period
Send a short note about your background, resume with links to relevant work (especially AI search visibility examples), and your hourly rate, to [email protected] .
We are most interested in concrete results — a client whose AI Overview presence you grew, a schema implementation that moved the needle, an audit that surfaced something non-obvious.
