Location & Employment

Remote (Global)

Part-time to start: 20 hours/week for the first 3 months, with a clear path to full-time as client volume grows

Engagement via Somewhere Talent on Demand (6-month minimum)

Independent, back-end execution work; no direct client interaction

Compensation commensurate with region and experience

About the Company

We are a rapidly growing U.S.-based digital marketing agency specializing in SEO and AI search visibility for multi-location, local service businesses. We run a productized, systems-driven model: standardized, high-quality SEO fulfillment delivered at scale across a growing portfolio of accounts. Our edge is getting clients found not only in traditional Google search, but across AI answer engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We are lean, fast-moving, and building the fulfillment engine behind a new, in-demand service line.

About the Role
This role exists because demand for our SEO and AI-search offering is outpacing what the founder can execute alone. The systems, tools, and playbooks are already built. We are not looking for someone to reinvent strategy — we need a technically strong operator who can step into an existing process and execute it reliably, account after account, with minimal oversight. You will be the hands-on engine that lets us scale fulfillment without sacrificing quality. This starts part-time, tied to current account volume, with a real trajectory to full-time as the service line grows.

Key Responsibilities
Technical & On-Page SEO

Run site audits and implement structural, meta, header, and schema fixes

Optimize sitemaps, internal linking, and site health across client sites

Ensure sites are properly structured for crawling, indexing, and ranking

Local Search Optimization

Optimize Google Business Profiles and local listings

Execute local keyword research and "near me" optimization

Monitor and respond to local competitor movement

Content Operations & AI Search (GEO)

Manage and QA high-volume content production (briefs, on-page optimization, keyword mapping) using existing tools and workflows

Structure content and metadata so it is surfaced and recommended by AI answer engines

Apply structured data, entity optimization, and AI-readable formatting (schema, llms.txt)

Reporting & Tracking

Maintain rank tracking, organic traffic, and visibility reporting

Produce clear monthly performance summaries per account

Required Qualifications

2+ years hands-on SEO experience, ideally agency or multi-account

Comfort running repeatable processes at volume with high accuracy

Strong written English and self-directed work habits

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with AI search / GEO / AEO and how LLMs surface and cite content

Content operations at scale, including AI-assisted content workflows

SEO tooling (Ahrefs, Semrush, GBP tools, rank trackers)

Local, multi-location, or franchise SEO exposure

Ideal Candidate Profile
You are:

Technically sharp and genuinely hands-on — you can do the work, not just talk about it

A systems operator who thrives running a defined process across many accounts

Detail-oriented and consistent, with little need for hand-holding

Curious about AI search and eager to stay ahead of how it reshapes SEO

Trustworthy and accountable — you own outcomes and communicate proactively

Why This Role
You'll be the foundational fulfillment hire behind a fast-growing service line, with a clear runway from part-time to full-time and room to grow as the business scales.
