SEO and GEO Consultant Job at Marketing Signals Limited in New York

Marketing Signals Limited · New York, NY, USA · Remote ·

Pay:
£36k
Job type:
Full Time

We're hiring an SEO / GEO Consultant at Marketing Signals. The brief is simple. Own the client, and do the work.
Most agencies split this into two jobs. An account manager who talks to the client and a technical person who never does. We want one person who can run the quarterly review in the morning and be in the crawl export by lunchtime.
What you'll actually be doing:

Running a portfolio of retained SEO and GEO clients end to end
Technical audits, and seeing the fixes through with dev teams
GEO audits across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode
Link building and Digital PR campaigns
Content briefs a writer can execute without a second conversation
The bit that matters most: this is a Claude native role. Projects, Skills, Claude Code, MCP. Not "we use AI for first drafts". You'll be building the workflows that let one consultant do what used to take three people.
The deal:

4 day week, 32 hours
100% remote, UK core hours
£36k to £45k basic plus bonus
Paid Claude subscription, training budget, home office budget
Christmas shutdown and your birthday off
We've been doing search since 2007. GEO is now the fastest growing thing we sell, and I build our own products in Claude Code, so AI here is how the work gets done, not a slide in a deck.

Own the client. Do the work.

Marketing Signals has spent nearly two decades helping ambitious brands win on Google. Today we do the same across AI search, SEO, Paid Media and Digital PR, and GEO (generative engine optimisation) is now the fastest growing part of what we sell.
We are looking for an SEO / GEO Consultant who can sit in front of a client, explain what is happening and why, and then go and fix it themselves. Not an account manager who hands work to a delivery team. Not a technical specialist who hides from the client call. Both.
You will run a small portfolio of retained clients end to end: the strategy, the relationship, the technical audits, the link building, the content briefs, and the reporting that shows it worked.
What you will do

Client ownership

Be the day-to-day lead for a portfolio of retained SEO and GEO clients
Run monthly and quarterly reviews, present results and set the next 90 days of priorities
Translate technical findings into commercial recommendations a marketing director will act on
Spot upsell and renewal opportunities and bring them to the commercial team
Support new business pitches with audits, opportunity sizing and proposals
Hands-on delivery

Run technical SEO audits (crawl, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data, internal linking) and see the fixes through with client dev teams
Run GEO audits: how a brand shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and what to change to improve it
Plan and run link building and Digital PR campaigns, working with our outreach team and offshore resource
Write content briefs that a writer can execute without a second conversation, covering search intent, entity coverage, structure and citation-worthiness for LLMs
Build and maintain reporting in Looker Studio or similar, pulling from GSC, GA4 and our AI visibility tooling
Claude native ways of working

Use Claude (Projects, Skills, Claude Code, MCP) as a daily working tool for audits, analysis, brief writing, reporting and client comms
Build and improve the agentic workflows that let one consultant deliver what used to take three people
Contribute to our internal Skills and playbooks so the whole team gets faster
What success looks like

Your success is measured on outcomes, not hours logged:
Client retention across your portfolio
Organic revenue or lead growth for each client against agreed targets
AI visibility improvement (share of voice across the major LLMs)
Audit recommendations actually implemented, not just delivered
Links and coverage secured against campaign targets
Portfolio growth through upsell and referral
What we are looking for

You will probably have most of the following:
3+ years in SEO, at least some of it agency side, with your own client relationships
Proven technical SEO ability: you have run audits yourself and can defend the findings to a developer
Working knowledge of GEO and LLM visibility, or a demonstrable appetite to get there fast
Experience planning link building or Digital PR campaigns and measuring what they delivered
Content briefing experience, ideally with published results you can point to
Confident with GSC, GA4, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs and Semrush
Daily use of Claude, ChatGPT or similar in your current role, beyond drafting emails
Clear written and spoken English, comfortable presenting to senior clients
Bonus points for any of: PPC or integrated search experience, basic HTML/JS and schema markup, Python or JavaScript scripting, experience with Claude Code or building custom Skills.
About you

You will thrive here if you:
Would rather fix a problem than write a slide about it
Are equally comfortable on a client call and in a crawl export
Treat AI tooling as a lever, not a threat
Take ownership without waiting to be told
Care about revenue for the client, not vanity metrics
Want autonomy and the accountability that comes with it
Why join Marketing Signals?

You will join an established, award-winning agency with big brand clients, a real GEO proposition and a Managing Director who builds products with Claude Code himself. AI is not something we talk about in a strategy deck. It is how the work gets done.
Four-day working week (32 hours)
100% remote working
Flexible working hours around UK core hours
Paid Claude subscription
Dedicated training and development budget
Powerful hardware and software to enable you to thrive
Home office budget for a quality desk and chair
Generous annual leave, including Christmas shutdown and your birthday off
Company pension
Opportunity to attend and speak at industry conferences (if you want)
A genuinely supportive, no-politics culture where good ideas win
