SEO / GEO / AEO Strategist

We’re looking for a search strategist who understands that “SEO” isn’t just about rankings anymore. This role sits at the intersection of traditional search, generative search (AI-driven results), and answer engine optimization—owning how brands show up across Google, AI platforms, and emerging discovery channels. You’ll lead content strategy with a performance mindset—building scalable, data-informed programs that drive visibility, traffic, and qualified leads across organic and AI-powered experiences.

Roles Responsibilities

Search Strategy (SEO GEO AEO)

  • Develop and execute integrated search strategies across:
    • Traditional SEO (organic rankings, technical optimization)
    • Generative Engine Optimization (visibility in AI-generated responses)
    • Answer Engine Optimization (featured snippets, zero-click results)
  • Identify opportunities to increase brand presence across Google, ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, and other AI-driven discovery platforms
  • Monitor and adapt to changes in search behavior, SERP features, and AI interfaces

Content Strategy & Development

  • Own the content roadmap aligned to business goals, search demand, and user intent
  • Build topic clusters, entity-driven content, and semantic strategies
  • Partner with writers, designers, and subject matter experts to produce high-quality, authoritative content
  • Optimize existing content for performance across both traditional and AI-driven search environments

Performance & Analytics

  • Define KPIs across rankings, traffic, conversions, and AI visibility
  • Analyze performance using tools like GA4, GSC, Ahrefs/Semrush, and emerging AI visibility tools
  • Translate data into actionable insights and ongoing optimization plans

Technical & On-Page Optimization

  • Collaborate with development teams to ensure strong technical SEO foundations (site structure, schema, page speed, crawlability)
  • Implement structured data and entity markup to improve machine understanding and AI surfacing
  • Ensure content is optimized for readability, extraction, and summarization by AI systems

Cross-Channel Collaboration

  • Work closely with paid media, CRO, and sales teams to align messaging and maximize pipeline impact
  • Support integrated campaigns where organic, paid, and AI visibility work together

Requirements

  • 3–7 years of experience in SEO, content strategy, or organic growth
  • Strong understanding of:
    • Technical SEO fundamentals
    • Content strategy and keyword/intent mapping
    • Evolving search landscape (AI search, zero-click behavior, entity-based search)
  • Experience creating or managing high-performing content programs
  • Familiarity with structured data, schema, and semantic SEO principles
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to tie work to business outcomes
  • Clear communicator who can translate complex search concepts into actionable plans

Bonus Points

  • Experience optimizing for AI platforms (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc.)
  • Background in B2B, lead generation, or performance marketing environments
  • Experience with CRO or conversion-focused content
  • Familiarity with APIs, automation, or programmatic SEO approaches
