We are looking for a senior SEO and AI search specialist contractor to help our clients show up where their audiences are searching now. Approximately 10 hours per week, ongoing, across a mix of B2B and B2C projects. <h2>What You Will Do</h2> •     Audit and strategy: Conduct technical and content SEO audits, identify AI search visibility gaps, and recommend prioritized roadmaps. •     AI search optimization: Improve client visibility in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini through structured data, entity optimization, citation strategy, and answer-first content. •     Keyword and content strategy: Lead keyword research, search intent mapping, and content briefs for both traditional SERPs and AI surfaces. •     Technical SEO: Review crawlability, indexation, schema, Core Web Vitals, and rendering. Partner with client or internal dev teams on fixes. •     Measurement and reporting: Set up and interpret performance data across GA4, Google Search Console, Ahrefs/SEMrush, and AI visibility tools (Profound, Otterly, Peec AI). •     Tool exploration: Help us evaluate new AI search tools as they emerge. Curiosity matters. •     Cross-functional collaboration: Brief our writers and designers on SEO/AEO requirements and join client calls as the SEO subject matter expert. <h2>Who You Are</h2> •     5–10+ years of hands-on SEO experience across technical, on-page, and content optimization. Agency or enterprise background preferred. •     Active work in AI search optimization — AEO, GEO, and AIO. We know this space is new; we want someone experimenting with real results to point to, not someone claiming a decade of expertise that doesn't exist yet. •     Fluent in the modern tool stack: Ahrefs or SEMrush, Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, Schema.org, and at least one AI visibility tracker. •     Strong content instincts. You understand how editorial quality, entity clarity, and answer-first structure drive both rankings and AI citations. •     Clear communicator. You can translate technical concepts for non-technical clients and write recommendations creative teams can act on. •     Comfortable with ambiguity. You test, measure, and adjust rather than wait for settled best practices. •     Mix of B2B and B2C experience, ideally including technical/enterprise B2B and consumer brands. <h2>Nice to Have</h2> •     International or multi-region SEO experience. •     Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript as they relate to SEO. •     Familiarity with Webflow, WordPress, or HubSpot CMS. •     Published thought leadership or community presence in SEO/AI search. <h2>Benefits:</h2> Hours: ~5-10 hours per week, with flexibility to scale for project needs Rate: $100–$150 per hour, commensurate with experience Location: Remote (global) Start: Immediate, with an initial 90-day evaluation period <h2>How to Apply</h2> Send a short note about your background, resume with links to relevant work (especially AI search visibility examples), and your hourly rate, to <a href="mailto:[contact via apply link]">[contact via apply link]</a> . We are most interested in concrete results — a client whose AI Overview presence you grew, a schema implementation that moved the needle, an audit that surfaced something non-obvious.   To apply: <a href="https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/sketchdeck-seo-ai-search-specialist-contract-part-time">https://weworkremotely.com/remote-jobs/sketchdeck-seo-ai-search-specialist-contract-part-time</a>
