Senior SEO Analyst, Local Lead Generation (Remote Contract)

We're a US digital marketing agency, and our SEO exists for one reason: to generate leads. Rankings and traffic only matter if they turn into calls and form fills for our clients, mostly home service companies plus businesses in medical, financial services, and real estate. We're looking for a senior SEO who thinks that way and can handle the full job, from local search to technical audits. Your performance is evaluated based on your ability to generate the maximum number of calls and form fills from organic search and the map pack. This role starts at 5 to 10 hours a week. If you prove yourself during the 60-day trial, it can grow to 35 hours a week. We'd rather find one strong person and give them the work than split it across several people. Please read: You must speak English that is clear and easily understood by our US-based team, and write it with correct American spelling and grammar. You'll be on regular internal calls with English-speaking teammates. Your Loom video is how we judge this, so speak naturally and clearly. What you'll own - Local SEO: Google Business Profile, citations, reviews strategy, and location pages that convert visitors into calls - Technical audits and fixes - Keyword research focused on buyer intent, content briefs, and reviewing content against those briefs - Link building - Monthly reporting tied to leads, not just rankings, written so a business owner can understand it - Some hands-on work in WordPress and Elementor What you need - Clear, easily understood spoken English and strong written American English - At least 4 years doing SEO yourself, with local lead gen experience - Working knowledge of Ahrefs, DataForSEO, BrightLocal, Rank Math, Google Search Console, and GA4 - Enough WordPress and Elementor skill to make on-page changes yourself when needed - Availability for meetings during US Eastern business hours How to apply Send all of the following. Applications missing any of them won't be reviewed. 1. Your resume 2. A portfolio or case studies 3. Proof of results, ideally showing lead or call growth alongside rankings or map pack screenshots. Blur the client names. 4. A Loom video, 2 to 3 minutes, introducing yourself and explaining how you'd get a local service business more calls from the map pack in a new city. Say the words "map pack" somewhere in the video. Our process: first interview, a skills assessment, then a final interview. Pay: $15.00 - $30.00 per hour Expected hours: 5.0 – 10.0 per week Application Question(s):

• Paste the link to your Loom video.
• Do you have at least 4+ years doing SEO, including local SEO?
• Can you speak English clearly enough to be easily understood by US-based teammates on regular calls?
