• Conduct technical SEO audits to identify issues inhibiting organic search performance.
• Identify and resolve crawl, indexation, and performance issues (with support).
• Implement structured data, canonicalisation, hreflang, and other SEO best practices.
• Monitor changes to site performance and communicate risks or fixes.

On-Page & Content Optimisation

• Perform keyword research and intent analysis to guide content creation and improve targeting.
• Develop advanced on-page strategies, incorporating AI-driven content generation, semantic optimisation, and entity-based keyword clustering.
• Work closely with content teams to provide detailed SEO briefs, ensuring alignment with E-E-A-T principles and user intent.
• Optimise metadata, headings, internal linking structures, and content for improved rankings and visibility.

Off-Page SEO & Authority Building

• Conduct backlink profile analysis and develop strategies to enhance domain authority.
• Coordinate digital PR and outreach campaigns to acquire high-quality, relevant links.
• Monitor brand mentions and opportunities for authoritative placements across AI-curated knowledge sources and traditional SERPs.

Competitive & Market Analysis

• Research and analyse competitors’ SEO strategies, content, and backlink profiles to identify opportunities and threats.
• Stay ahead of industry trends, algorithm updates, and emerging AI-driven search landscapes.

Reporting, Analytics & Performance Monitoring

• Track and analyse key SEO metrics, including organic traffic, rankings, conversions, and engagement.
• Present in-depth findings, insights, and strategic recommendations to clients and internal stakeholders on a regular basis.

• Prior experience in handling large websites (with more than 100,000 pages) is preferred.
