Freelance SEO Specialist — Remote (20 hrs/week, Remote)
Agency DigitalFully Remote (from Greece) | Evening Hours | Part-Time or possibly Full-Time
Freelance / Independent Contractor Position
We're a growing digital agency seeking a skilled and passionate SEO professional who thrives in the AI-driven search landscape. This is a fully remote evening position, ideal for someone who wants flexibility while making a real impact on client results.
About the RoleYou'll work alongside our senior SEO lead on strategies for our clients, taking briefs through to delivery and creating high-quality written content that ranks in today's AI-influenced search environment. Most of our clients are US-based local businesses, so the content you write is in English for an American audience, and a lot of the work is winning the local pack. We need someone who doesn't just understand AI's impact on search, but actively uses it as a tool in their daily workflow.
Key Requirements- Breadth across SEO: This is the one that matters most. Hands-on experience across technical SEO, on-page optimization, content strategy, e-commerce SEO, analytics, and reporting. You don't need to be an expert in all of them. You need to be reliable in most, quick to learn the rest, and honest about which is which.
- Local SEO Experience: Real hands-on time with Google Business Profile (setup and verification, categories, services, posts, Q&A), plus reviews strategy, NAP/citation consistency, location and service-area pages, and map-pack rank tracking. Several of our clients live or die by the local pack, so this is a core skill here, not a side one.
- Content Creation: Proven ability to research, structure, and optimize original content that aligns with E-E-A-T and the helpful content guidelines: blog posts, website copy, landing pages.
- Writing in English: Our content is published in English for US readers, so the standard is clear, natural English: a draft that comes back with edits, not one that has to be rewritten. You don't need to be a native speaker. A senior lead reviews every piece before it goes live, and we judge this from your samples and the paid task rather than from how you describe your own level. Send the work and let it speak.
- AI Power User: You run AI through your actual workflow, not just the chat box: keyword clustering, brief building, drafting, optimization, summarizing crawl and GSC exports, the repetitive data work. You know exactly where the output stops being publishable, and you fix it before anyone else sees it. We'll ask you to walk us through a real workflow you use, not describe your enthusiasm for it.
- AI Impact Expertise: Working understanding of how AI is changing search in 2026 (Google AI Overviews, generative results, zero-click searches, conversational intent) and how to adapt content and strategy accordingly.
- 2–4 years of hands-on SEO + content experience (agency or client-side preferred).
- Proficiency with essential tools: Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog.
- Strong analytical mindset and clear communication. You flag problems early rather than quietly working around them.
- Registered freelancer in Greece (able to invoice).
- Execute SEO strategies alongside our senior lead. You own delivery on your accounts, and grow into the strategic side as you go.
- Manage and optimize Google Business Profiles (categories, posts, review responses, Q&A) and the local landing pages that support them.
- Conduct SEO audits and turn them into prioritized, actionable fix lists.
- Research, write, and optimize original English content that performs well alongside AI-generated results.
- Implement on-page work directly in WordPress: titles, metas, headings, internal links, images, schema.
- Integrate AI tools into daily workflows to increase efficiency and output quality.
- Monitor algorithm updates and AI advancements, then proactively adjust strategies.
- Collaborate with our team on integrated campaigns and report on performance with clear KPIs.
- Fully Remote: must be based in Greece.
- Evening Hours: core hours are 17:00–21:00 Greek time. That's the working morning in New York, where most of our clients are, so we overlap with them live. It also leaves your day free.
- Part-Time: 20 hours per week, guaranteed and paid, with the possibility of more hours or a full-time position.
- €14–16 per hour depending on experience, roughly €1,215–1,390 per month at 20 hours a week. That is your gross invoice rate, before VAT and your own contributions. The top of the band is for someone who can already run a local SEO account end to end without supervision. We look at the rate again at 3 months, against turnaround, accuracy, and how much of your work needs reworking.
- A collaborative team and a senior lead who reviews your work and answers questions. You won't be figuring it out alone.
- Opportunity to work with diverse US and Greek clients and grow alongside a forward-thinking agency.
- All tools paid for (Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, AI subscriptions) plus professional development support.
- A clear path to more hours. We'd rather grow one person than rotate through three.
If you're an SEO specialist who loves creating content, lives and breathes AI innovation, and wants to help clients succeed in an AI-first search world, we'd love to hear from you.
