Overview: Please read before you bid!! I will delete send me details messages! We are seeking an experienced, proactive, and highly detail-oriented WordPress SEO & Conversion Optimization Specialist for an ongoing monthly retainer. This is a long-term engagement with a growing portfolio of 6 to 20+ WordPress websites in the transportation and professional services niche. The right candidate will be a true digital partner — someone who thinks like an owner, works independently, and is passionate about staying ahead of the curve in modern search. This is not a standard content creation role. Our AI-powered content system handles all initial research, writing, and link building. Your role is the critical final stage: you will enter each website, audit every new and existing page, and bring it to the highest possible standard of technical SEO excellence, visual quality, and conversion performance. Our System & Your Role Within It Our content pipeline is largely automated. A sophisticated bot system publishes new pages across our network, handling the heavy lifting of research, copywriting, and internal/external linking. However, automation has limits. The bot occasionally introduces errors in how metadata is placed, and the raw output, while well-researched, needs the expert eye of a human optimizer to truly perform. Your job begins where the bot's job ends. You will access each website, review every page against a strict performance checklist, and make all necessary corrections and improvements. You are the quality control, the strategist, and the conversion specialist — all in one. Scope of Work The table below outlines the core areas of responsibility for this retainer engagement. Area Description On-Page SEO Auditing Review all pages using Yoast SEO or Rank Math. Every page must achieve a minimum score of 85% or higher. Any page falling below this threshold must be revised until it meets the standard. Metadata Correction Identify and fix any pages where meta titles, meta descriptions, or AEO answer blocks are appearing as visible text on the page rather than being correctly placed in the site's HTML header. AEO & GEO Optimization Optimize content for Answer Engine Optimization (AEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and AI-powered search platforms (e.g., Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT search). Structure content to win featured snippets, answer boxes, and AI citations. CTA Design & Placement Strategically design and position strong, compelling Calls-to-Action (CTAs) on every page. The goal is maximum click-through rate and lead generation. Every page must have a clear, prominent, and persuasive action for the user to take. Visual & Layout QA Review the aesthetic presentation of each page. Ensure proper formatting, visual hierarchy, spacing, and readability. The page must look professional and polished — not like raw machine-generated content. Proactive Optimization Go beyond the checklist. If you identify any other opportunity — a schema markup improvement, a heading restructure, a missing internal link, a slow-loading image — fix it or flag it. We want a partner who thinks ahead. Reporting Provide a brief monthly summary of work completed, pages optimized, key improvements made, and any recommendations for the coming month. Technical Requirements in Detail On-Page SEO (85%+ Minimum Score). Every page in the portfolio must meet or exceed an 85% SEO score as measured by Yoast SEO or Rank Math. This is a non-negotiable baseline. Achieving this requires correct keyword targeting in the title tag, meta description, H1, body content, and image alt text, as well as proper URL structure, internal linking, and readability scores. Metadata Implementation. A specific and recurring issue in our pipeline is that AI-generated content sometimes places structured metadata — including meta titles, meta descriptions, and AEO Answer Blocks — as visible text within the page body. You must identify all instances of this error and correctly migrate this information into the appropriate plugin fields (Yoast/Rank Math), removing it from the visible page content entirely. AEO, GEO & Emerging Search Formats. Modern search is no longer just about Google's ten blue links. You must be fluent in optimizing for the full spectrum of modern search, including structured data and schema markup for rich results, FAQ and How-To schema for featured snippets, concise and authoritative answer blocks for AI-powered search engines, and entity-based SEO to build topical authority across the site network. CTA Optimization. Every page must be designed to convert. You will be responsible for ensuring that each page has a highly visible, action-oriented CTA — whether that is a phone number, a contact form, a booking button, or a directional prompt. The CTA must be placed strategically based on the page's content and the user's likely intent at that point in their journey. Ideal Candidate Profile The ideal candidate for this role is a seasoned SEO professional who combines deep technical knowledge with a strong aesthetic sensibility and a conversion-focused mindset. You have a proven track record of improving search rankings and click-through rates across multiple websites simultaneously. You are comfortable working within a fast-moving, AI-assisted content environment and can adapt quickly as our portfolio grows. You are not just an executor — you are a thinker. When you see a page, you immediately identify what is holding it back and know exactly how to fix it. You are reliable, communicative, and take pride in delivering work that genuinely moves the needle. Qualifications Candidates should be able to demonstrate the following qualifications and experience before being considered for this role. Requirement Details WordPress Experience 3+ years of hands-on WordPress experience, including theme customization and content management. SEO Plugin Mastery Expert-level proficiency with both Yoast SEO and Rank Math, including schema markup and advanced configuration. Modern SEO Knowledge Demonstrable understanding of AEO, GEO, structured data, and AI search optimization. CRO & UX Sensibility Proven ability to improve click-through rates and conversions through strategic page design and CTA placement. Multi-Site Management Experience managing and optimizing multiple websites simultaneously without sacrificing quality. Communication Clear, professional written communication. Ability to provide concise monthly reports. Availability Consistent monthly availability to meet ongoing deadlines as new content is published. What We Provide We provide full administrative access to all websites in the portfolio. All content, research, and links will already be in place. You will not be starting from a blank page — you will be refining and perfecting existing work. We also provide clear guidelines on brand voice, target keywords, and the specific metadata that needs to be implemented on each page. Compensation & Engagement This is a monthly retainer engagement. We are looking for a long-term partner as we scale our portfolio from its current size to 20+ websites. We are open to a fair and transparent pricing discussion. When submitting your proposal, please include your suggested monthly rate, examples of websites you have optimized, and your approach to the AEO/GEO requirements outlined above. Candidates who demonstrate a clear understanding of modern AI search optimization will be given strong preference. To apply, please send your proposal, portfolio, and monthly rate to the contact information provided. We look forward to building a lasting working relationship with the right specialist.
