About
Overview I am looking for a highly skilled SEO freelancer who is ahead of the curve — not someone relying on outdated, keyword-stuffing tactics, but someone who understands how AI-driven search, GEO targeting, and LLMs (Large Language Models) are reshaping discoverability online. Building strong SEO is still the foundation of this project but with a much deeper look of how GEO optimization can be added to accelerate total search traffic. The ideal candidate will help future-proof my sites and content strategy by optimizing for emerging search technologies while still covering the SEO fundamentals. This will include rewriting older content where needed as well as adding new content. Also ensuring the Schemas are maximized for visibility, lots of F & Q etc. A weekly reporting tool aside from GA with a summery will be submitted so we can monitor the successful progress from an AI view. This is a long term relationship as my current SEO team has been with me for 12 year but does not have the skill set for the new upcoming GEO that will be the future. Responsibilities Develop and execute a modern SEO strategy that accounts for: AI-powered search engines (Google SGE, Bing Copilot, Perplexity, ChatGTP etc.) GEO-targeted and local intent optimization. Content visibility in LLM responses (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, etc.). Audit my site for technical SEO and ensure it is optimized for fast, mobile-friendly performance. Conduct keyword & intent research with AI search in mind. Optimize existing content and advise on new content opportunities. Track and report on results, rankings, and performance metrics. Stay up-to-date with the latest trends in AI + SEO and make ongoing recommendations. Requirements Proven track record in SEO strategy and execution, with current work focused on AI search Demonstrated knowledge of AI search platforms and LLM content discovery. Experience with GEO/local SEO beyond just Google My Business listings. Proficiency with SEO tools (e.g., Ahrefs, SEMrush, SurferSEO, Screaming Frog). Strong understanding of structured data, schema, and entity optimization. Excellent communication and ability to explain strategies clearly. Preferred Qualifications Case studies or examples of SEO adapted to AI search results. Experience helping businesses rank in AI summaries / featured snippets / “answer engines.” Familiarity with international SEO and multi-market targeting. Comfortable collaborating with writers and developers.
