● Build Conversion-Focused Pages: Design and develop landing pages and website sections that align with marketing campaigns and encourage visitors to take action.
● Support Technical SEO: Identify and resolve common technical SEO issues affecting crawlability, indexing, structured data, metadata, canonicalization, and website health.
● Content & SEO Implementation: Develop SEO content briefs through keyword and competitor research, optimize or create SEO-focused website content, and implement it across WordPress, Shopify, and other CMS platforms. This includes formatting content, optimizing headings, metadata, internal links, images, and page structure to improve both search visibility and conversions.
● Collaborate Across Projects: Work closely with SEO Project Managers on recurring client accounts while independently managing website projects from implementation through launch.
● Utilize Modern AI Tools: Leverage tools such as Claude Code, ChatGPT, and other AI-assisted workflows to research solutions, troubleshoot problems, and improve development efficiency while validating all work for quality and accuracy.
● Continue Learning: Stay current with evolving web technologies, SEO best practices, AI tools, and industry trends to continually improve both client results and internal processes.
● Contribute Wherever Needed: As a growing agency, no two days are the same. From time to time, you'll assist with related website, SEO, or digital marketing initiatives that support our clients and team.
