# SEO and AI search operator

A remote contract role at a B2B company I work with. I share who the company is once we're talking.

## What the SEO and AI search operator does

Run technical SEO and AI search work for B2B companies: fix what holds their sites back, build pages that rank and get cited, and track how each company shows up in ChatGPT and Google's AI answers.

- Audit large B2B and software sites and write fixes the web team can ship
- Add and check structured data
- Build and refresh topic pages so they rank in Google and get cited in AI answers
- Write page copy and research summaries to a brief
- Run the weekly AI visibility check and report what changed
- Run Search Console checks and fix what they find

## What the SEO and AI search operator role needs

- You've done hands-on technical SEO on large B2B or software sites, including WordPress
- You've written page copy or summaries to a brief for technical or enterprise buyers
- You've tracked how a brand shows up in AI answers, or can show how you'd do it
- You've done this work for B2B companies, where a sale takes weeks or months and a sales team follows up on leads
- You use Claude or a similar AI tool every day and can show something you built with it
- You live in North or South America and overlap with US Central hours
- You're on Slack during US Central business hours, reply in real time and write clear, fluent English
- You work from a shared task list, report back on what you finished, and turn repeat tasks into automations
- You work as an individual, not through an agency

## Hours and pay for the SEO and AI search operator role

**Contract. 15 to 20 hours a week. $45 to $65 an hour.**

It's fully remote and part-time, and the work starts as soon as the right person is found.

## How to apply for the SEO and AI search operator role

Apply through the short form. It takes about 10 minutes, and every applicant goes through it, so please don't apply by DM or email. If your application fits, I'll reach out, tell you who the role is for and set up a short video call. Finalists do a short paid test at their own rate before anyone starts.
