AEO/SEO & Brand Authority Specialist (Reddit, Quora & AEO)

We're looking for an off-page AEO/SEO and brand authority specialist to build the mentions, citations and links that get our content ranking in both Google and AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity and Gemini). We produce a volume of content in-house. We need someone to own everything off-page: earning quality brand mentions, building authority on Reddit, Quora and industry forums, and securing placements that AI tools cite. This is relevance and citation-driven work, not bulk backlinks. We'd start with a paid trial project, with a clear view to an ongoing engagement if it works well. What you'll do - Earn quality brand mentions and citations on topically relevant sites (construction, property, business, marketing) - Contribute genuinely useful answers on Reddit, Quora and industry forums, with natural mentions rather than spam - Secure placements in third-party "best of" and comparison articles - Support digital PR built off data hooks (for example survey content we publish) - Prioritise placements on sources AI tools actually cite (Reddit, Quora, established publications, reputable review sites) - Track every placement and report against ranking and citation gains You should have - Proven off-page SEO, link building or digital PR experience, with examples we can see - Hands-on Reddit and Quora experience: established accounts and a clear sense of how to add value without getting flagged - An understanding of AEO and how brand mentions drive AI citations, not just traditional backlinks - Excellent written English. You'll be representing our brand in public communities, so this is non-negotiable How we'll work - We'll start with a small paid trial project so we can both assess fit - Strong performers move to ongoing monthly work - We'll share our keyword and content topic plan so your off-page work lines up with what we publish What we won't pay for Bulk low-quality backlinks, PBNs, link farms, irrelevant directories, exact-match anchor spam, or anything that risks a Google penalty. Relevance and citation value over volume, every time. In your proposal, please include - Links to off-page work you've done: brand mentions, Reddit or Quora contributions, PR placements - Measurable results you've driven (rankings, citations, referring domains) - Your rates and availability
