All business is conducted on a cash basis — no insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid billing. We sell and rent hospital beds, CPAP/BiPAP machines, oxygen concentrators, wheelchairs, scooters, lift chairs, and related supplies, backed by expert in-store guidance.
The Role
We're hiring a Digital Marketing Specialist to own organic growth across our website, search presence, and social channels. This is a hands-on role: you'll write content, manage our Shopify site, run SEO/AEO strategy, post on social media, and drive email marketing — with the goal of growing qualified organic traffic and converting it into customers and rental inquiries, without relying on paid ads.
Key ResponsibilitiesContent & SEO/AEO
- Write and publish blog posts, buying guides, and product/category copy that answers real customer questions (CPAP, oxygen, mobility, hospital beds, incontinence, wound care, etc.).
- Run on-page and technical SEO: keyword research, meta titles/descriptions, internal linking, site speed and Core Web Vitals, structured data/schema.
- Apply Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) practices — structuring content so it gets cited by AI search tools (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity), including clear Q&A formatting, schema markup, and authoritative sourcing.
- Grow rankings, organic traffic, and AI-search visibility; report on what's working and adjust.
Website (Shopify)
- Maintain and update product pages, collections, landing pages, and blog on our Shopify store.
- Optimize product descriptions and category pages for both search and conversion.
- Coordinate basic site changes — banners, seasonal promotions, new collections — working with our content manager and photographer.
Social Media
- Plan and publish a regular posting cadence (Facebook, Instagram, and other relevant platforms).
- Repurpose blog and product content into social-ready posts, using assets from our in-house photographer.
- Engage with comments/messages and monitor brand mentions.
Email Marketing
- Build and manage email campaigns and automated flows (welcome series, abandoned cart, rental reminders, subscription/reorder nudges for CPAP supplies and incontinence products).
- Segment our list (retail customers vs. hospice/agency partners) and personalize messaging accordingly.
- Track open rates, click-through, and revenue attribution; test and improve over time.
What We're Looking For
- 2 years in digital marketing with hands-on SEO, content writing, and social media experience.
- Working knowledge of Shopify (product/collection management, basic theme edits, blog publishing).
- Familiarity with SEO tools (Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, and one of SEMrush/Ahrefs) and email platforms (Klaviyo or similar).
- Strong, clear writing — comfortable turning technical/medical-equipment topics into plain-language, helpful content.
- Curiosity about AEO/AI search and a willingness to keep pace with how people find information as search evolves.
- Organized and self-directed; comfortable owning a content calendar and hitting deadlines.
- Bonus: experience marketing in healthcare, home medical equipment, or another regulated/considered-purchase category.
Success Looks Like
- Steady month-over-month growth in organic (non-paid) website traffic and search rankings for priority product/service terms.
- Growing visibility in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, AI Overviews, Perplexity) for relevant customer questions.
- An active, consistent social presence and a healthy, growing email list with strong engagement.
- Measurable contribution to online leads, rental inquiries, and sales from organic channels.
