Monitor technical performance using tools like Screaming Frog, GSC, and PageSpeed Insights

Work with WordPress themes/builders and maintain best practices for SEO-safe development
Manage and optimize SEO plugins (Yoast/RankMath), caching plugins, and performance tools
Implement page-level optimization including titles, meta descriptions, headers, and internal linking strategies

Create content clusters that build authority and rank for competitive matchmaking and relationship terms
Optimize existing content for ranking + conversion (CTR, intent match, on-page structure)
Partner with writers to produce content that ranks and drives qualified leads
Own internal linking strategy to strengthen authority and funnel users to conversion pages
Analytics & Reporting
Track organic growth performance via GA4, Search Console, Mixpanel (if needed), and SEO tooling
Report weekly/monthly on rankings, traffic, conversion rate, lead quality, and revenue impact
Run technical and content experiments to improve performance
Build dashboards that connect SEO work to business outcomes
Must-Have:
4–7+ years of SEO experience with deep technical proficiency
Advanced WordPress experience (must be able to implement changes directly in WP)
Strong understanding of technical SEO, schema, site architecture, and indexation strategy
Strong knowledge of Core Web Vitals and performance optimization
