SEO Specialist (English-speaking market)

An SEO specialist who understands that Google is no longer the only search engine.

We are building SilentRoom – a text-based AI environment for authors, journalists, scriptwriters, and researchers. It's an "exoskeleton for authors": document hierarchy, instant access to sources, choice of top models (Claude 4.6, GPT-5, Gemini, DeepSeek V3), a library of editable prompts, and the Chrome extension Echo, which clips pages and transcribes YouTube videos up to 2 hours long.

Slogan: Write. Think. Verify. In silence.

The market is English-speaking (US/UK/EU). No Yandex, no "ranking improvements in Wordstat." If you've spent the last five years boosting commercial websites to the Top 10 on Yandex, we are not a good fit.

Where You'll Work

We already have a journal – a text blog on our own engine, operating in a closed loop. It contains several dozen longreads in English. We will show you the stack, sitemap, current indexing status, schema, CMS choice – all of this after our initial contact.

In parallel, we have the Chrome extension Echo. A Google Ads marketer is already working on 35 pain points ("how to bypass paywalls", "how to check ChatGPT hallucinations", "how to turn a YouTube lecture into text"). Your task is to build an organic layer for the same pain points so that Ads and SEO work in unison, rather than cannibalizing each other.

What You'll Do

• Technical SEO on the journal's proprietary engine: sitemap, robots, canonical, hreflang, Core Web Vitals, internal linking, JSON-LD for Article / FAQ / HowTo / Product. Connecting the journal and the book landing page via Knowledge Graph.
• Content SEO: build a content plan around 35 pain points in conjunction with the journal's author. Not writing yourself – structuring. Clusters, pillar pages, supporting articles, programmatic landings for long-tail queries.
• Integration with Google Ads: Search Themes in Performance Max, semantic synchronization between landing pages and ad groups, Quality Score through content relevance, not bidding.
• GEO / AI Search Optimization: getting into the search results of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude. This is not a "buzzword" – it will account for half of our target audience's traffic in two years. If you've already thought about llms.txt, structuring content for LLM citation, the difference between ranking in Google and retrieval in RAG pipelines – let's talk.
• Analytics: GSC, GA4, Ahrefs/Semrush, server-side tracking. Not reports for the sake of reports – but hypotheses, experiments, conclusions.

Tech Stack We Already Have

Journal, book landing page, product landing page (in development), Chrome Web Store listing for the Echo extension. Stripe for payments, Supabase, Vercel. We have a dedicated Google Ads marketer; you'll work with them as a pair, not replace them.

What Should Be on Your Mind

• Schema.org / JSON-LD not as a "checkbox for Yoast", but as a semantic layer for Knowledge Graph and LLM retrieval.
• Programmatic SEO: you understand how to create 200 pages for long-tail queries without being penalized for thin content.
• GEO / AI Search: you've read at least one analysis of how Perplexity and ChatGPT select sources, and you have an opinion on why backlinks work differently for them than for Google.
• SEO ↔ Google Ads Integration: you know why Quality Score includes landing page relevance, not just ad CTR.
• E-E-A-T and Author Entities: you understand that we have an author with a Wikipedia page and exhibitions at the Tretyakov Gallery, and you know how to leverage this in search results.

What We Are NOT Looking For

• Link builders who know "50 proven platforms."
• SEO specialists for Yandex / Runet.
• Those who set KPIs like "get 100 queries into the Top 10" without discussing intent and conversion.
• Those who will Google "what is llms.txt" after the interview.
• Strategists who create slides but don't open Search Console.

Conditions

• Remote, time zone UTC 0 – UTC+4.
• 15–20 hours per week initially, with the possibility of transitioning to full-time based on performance.
• $1000–1500/month initially for part-time employment.
• Budget for tools (Ahrefs/Semrush, Screaming Frog, GSC API, etc.) – separate.
• English C1 proficiency.

There are a few questions, some are voice-based. The AI will take noticeably longer to process than a person who has actually worked with this stack.
