Upwork is hiring a Strategic SEO Consultant

Job Description:

We are seeking an experienced SEO Consultant who is adept at using AI to enhance SEO strategies. Our focus is on increasing the efficiency and maximizing SEO impact by leveraging AI combined with your already existing expertise in the field of SEO. The ideal candidate will bring a fresh perspective to each project, offering custom recommendations for each client rather than generic one-size-fits-all strategies. Most of our clients have marketers or writers on staff, so in many cases, we are training them on how to be self-sufficient in the area of SEO. So we are not looking for individuals or firms to write articles or create backlink (though we may occasionally do this on behalf of clients). Rather, we want someone who can direct our customers.

Responsibilities:

-Create a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) or strategic document outlining best practices for writing SEO content, customized for each client, assisted by AI. What we are not looking for here are simple AI prompts. We want a comprehensive content generation strategy that encompasses:

-Creating article topics and editorial calendar based on client’s business and keyword demand.

-A detailed breakdown of how to write the articles

-H1, h2, h3 text

-Internal links to other articles/pages

-References

-Tables

-Schemas

-Table of contents

-Quotes

-Helpful AI prompts to generate portions of the content

-Etc.

-Create a strategy/process to check articles to ensure they escape AI detection and are well

written to match the brand’s voice.

-Perform comprehensive assessments/audits to identify unique SEO opportunities and challenges.

-Create SOP and processes for other technical SEO aspects such as:

-Meta-tags

-Image alt-tags

-Image optimization

-Knowledge of AI-based SEO platforms/tools (if you think they are effective) and traditional SEO

tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, etc.

-Stay updated on SEO and AI advancements, integrating these into our strategies.

-Analyze and report on SEO performance, guiding continuous improvement.

-Work collaboratively to ensure seamless integration of SEO strategies in various projects.

Qualifications:

-Proven experience in SEO with a portfolio of successful projects.

-Knowledge of AI applications in SEO, including AI SEO platforms.

-Ability to produce AI-generated content that feels authentic and natural.

-Strong analytical skills with proficiency in SEO analytics tools.

-Excellent communication skills and a problem-solving mindset.

How to Apply:

Submit your resume, cover letter detailing your AI-enhanced SEO strategy experience, and a portfolio of relevant work.
