MARKETING & SALES

Hire a SEO Specialist.

Own on-page, technical, and content-driven SEO — and defend the dashboard that shows it's working.

Pre-vetted · Full-time dedicated · HR & payroll handled

Overview

What a SEO Specialist actually does.

SEO specialists in our network understand that rankings are a lagging indicator of a lot of small right decisions. We vet for technical literacy (can they read a Lighthouse report?) and editorial judgment (can they write a brief that a subject-matter expert doesn't roll their eyes at?).


Responsibilities

  • Run technical SEO audits and prioritize fixes
  • Write and own content briefs for subject-matter experts
  • Monitor indexation, Core Web Vitals, and schema
  • Track competitors and keyword opportunities
  • Report ranking + traffic movement weekly

How We Vet This Role

Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.

SEO candidates audit a small sample site and prioritize a 30/60/90 plan — we grade the triage, not the tool screenshots.
