SEO Specialist (Remote, South Africa-based) Initial audit & strategy phase (Month 1): R20,000–R35,000, once-off project fee

SEO Specialist (Remote, South Africa-based)

An independent, strategy-led creative agency (based in London, working with challenger and ambitious brands) is looking for a hands-on SEO specialist to significantly grow organic search visibility and generate qualified new-business leads — not just deliver an audit and disappear.

What you'll do

• Audit current site performance and competitor SEO strategy
  
• Identify commercially valuable search opportunities and map them to site architecture
  
• Implement on-page SEO directly in Squarespace (titles, meta, URLs, schema, internal linking, GSC/GA4, redirects)
  
• Develop and help write/edit a search-led content strategy (quality writing essential — no generic AI content)
  
• Build a sensible link/authority strategy (editorial links and digital PR only — no bulk/paid link tactics)
  
• Factor in visibility within AI-driven search (ChatGPT, Google AI search) alongside traditional SEO
