Senior SEO Specialist (Hands-On)

Job Title: Senior SEO Specialist (Local SEO, AEO \& GEO) — Must Show Proven Results

About the Role

I manage SEO for five local-service businesses — a car detailing company, a golf cart dealership, a micro school, a concrete contractor, and a roofing company — and I need an experienced SEO professional who can drive real, measurable rankings and traffic across all of them.

This is not a role for beginners or theorists. If you can't point to live results you've personally produced, this role isn't for you. I need someone who lives and breathes SEO, understands local search inside and out, and is fluent in the newer answer-engine and generative-engine optimization landscape.

What You'll Be Doing

• Running full-scope SEO for five local-service clients across distinct industries
• Local SEO: Google Business Profile optimization, local citations, review strategy, map pack rankings, and location-based landing pages
• Technical SEO: site audits, page speed / Core Web Vitals, schema markup, crawlability, and site architecture
• On-page and content optimization tailored to each niche and its local market
• AEO (Answer Engine Optimization): structuring content to win featured snippets, "People Also Ask," and voice-search results
• GEO (Generative Engine Optimization): positioning client brands and content to surface in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, etc.)
• Keyword research, competitor analysis, and building a prioritized roadmap for each client
• Monthly reporting with clear, honest metrics — rankings, traffic, leads, conversions

Requirements (Non-Negotiable)

• Proven, live results. With your application, you must include specific examples of sites you've ranked — real URLs, keywords, and before/after data I can verify. Applications without this will not be considered.
• Deep, demonstrable expertise in SEO, AEO, and GEO — you can explain not just what you do but why it works
• Strong experience with local SEO for service-area and brick-and-mortar businesses
• Fluent English — clear written and verbal communication is required, since you'll be handling client-facing work and reporting
• Proficiency with industry tools (e.g., Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs/SEMrush, Screaming Frog, Google Business Profile)
• Ability to manage multiple clients and priorities without dropping the ball

Nice to Have

• Experience in any of these specific niches (automotive/detailing, home services/contractors, education) is a big plus
• Experience with AI-driven content and prompt-based optimization workflows

How to Apply

Don't send a generic resume. To be considered, include:

• Live proof of results — URLs you've ranked, target keywords, and measurable outcomes (traffic or ranking improvements with dates)
• A short note on how you'd approach ranking a local business in a competitive niche (pick one of my five industries as an example)
• Your experience specifically with AEO and GEO — with examples if you have them

Applicants who follow these instructions and show real, verifiable results will move straight to the top of the pile.

Pay: $1,000\.00 - $1,500\.00 per month
