Job Summary

This role focuses primarily on on-page SEO, internal linking, and content optimization, with exposure to off-page SEO and light technical SEO concepts. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, process-driven, and eager to build deep SEO expertise over time. This is a hands-on execution role, not a strategy role (yet). Responsibilities include optimizing page-level elements (titles, meta descriptions, headers, image alt text, internal anchors), implementing internal linking strategies, assisting with content optimization, ensuring keyword usage aligns with search intent, supporting off-page SEO tasks (backlink outreach, local citations), working within CMS platforms (primarily WordPress) to implement SEO updates, performing basic QA after changes, and using SEO tools for keyword research and reporting. The role also involves following SEO SOPs and contributing to internal reporting and audits, with opportunities to grow into a mid-level SEO role over time. This is a remote position.
