Junior SEO Specialist

Better Proposals is looking for a Junior SEO Specialist to join our growth team. You’ll work directly with the Growth Manager and help with everything SEO related, from keyword research and internal linking to technical SEO, content planning and link building.

This is a junior role, but not a trainee position. You should already understand the basics, know your way around the usual SEO tools and be ready to work on a real website.
You will not be expected to know everything. You will be expected to learn as much as possible and figure things out.

What does the job look like?

The role covers most areas of SEO, including:

  • Researching keywords and identifying new opportunities
  • Reviewing existing pages and recommending improvements
  • Finding and implementing internal linking opportunities
  • Creating content briefs and proposing new pages
  • Monitoring rankings, traffic and organic conversions
  • Using Google Search Console to investigate performance and indexing
  • Crawling the website with Screaming Frog
  • Using Ahrefs for keyword, competitor, content and backlink research
  • Finding and qualifying link building prospects
  • Running outreach campaigns and following up with contacts
  • Tracking new links and reporting on campaign performance
  • Identifying common technical SEO issues
  • Creating and checking structured data
  • Improving page titles, descriptions, headings and on-page content
  • Helping us track GEO, AIO and AI search visibility

You will not do every one of these things every day, and you will not be the only one on the team. Don’t have experience with all of these? Don’t worry.

Some weeks will be more focused on content. Others might involve technical checks, outreach or improving pages that are already performing well.

What we’re looking for

You should already understand:

  • The basics of technical, on-page and off-page SEO
  • How to do keyword research
  • How to assess search intent
  • How internal linking works
  • The basics of link building and outreach
  • How to use Google Search Console
  • How to use the main reports in Ahrefs
  • How to crawl and inspect a website with Screaming Frog
  • What schema and structured data are
  • How to use AI tools to work faster without trusting everything they produce

You do not need to be an expert in every area.

We are looking for someone who understands the fundamentals, can follow a process and is willing to figure stuff out when they don’t immediately understand them.

You should also be comfortable working independently. You will get direction and feedback and someone will always be there for you. But we are not interested in micro management.

Nice to have

It would be useful if you have experience with any of the following:

  • SaaS SEO
  • WordPress or another CMS
  • Basic HTML
  • Writing content briefs
  • Link building outreach
  • SEO reporting and analytics
  • GEO, AIO or optimisation for AI search tools

Experience with GEO or AIO is welcome, but not required.

Nobody has ten years of GEO experience. A genuine interest in learning about it is enough.

With 10,000+ users around the globe, we’re just getting started and we need your help.

What working at Better Proposals is like

Better Proposals helps businesses create, send and manage proposals.

We are a fully remote company, and this role can be done from anywhere in the world.

There are no fixed working hours and no required overlap with the UK or any other time zone. Work when it suits you, as long as you communicate clearly and complete the work you have agreed to do.

We have very few meetings. Most work and communication happen async. But, you will be expected to hop on a call here and there.You will have space to focus, investigate problems and do the job without someone asking for an update every half an hour.

We care about doing good work. You will be trusted to manage your time, ask for help when you need it and take responsibility for what you produce.

Our AI policy

We don’t hate AI, but we NEVER use AI tools to produce customer facing content. Our customer support is not AI based, you always have a live person to talk to. Our articles are not AI written slop, but real opinions and expertise of real people. We want it to stay that way.

Using AI tools for keyword research, data analytics and process improvements is cool. Posting what ChatGPT spits out and passing it as a blog article is a fireable offence!

Salary

The expected salary range is:
$25,000–$30,000 USD per year

The final offer will depend on your experience and the level at which you can work independently.

We are primarily looking for a strong junior SEO specialist who’s ready to learn. However, we are also open to someone with mid-level experience if the role and salary are right for them.

Your location will not determine your salary.
