The final content must be written, edited, expanded, and fully humanized by an experienced writer. It should sound natural, demonstrate real understanding, answer the reader’s questions clearly, and avoid the repetitive language commonly found in AI-generated articles. **AI can help build the outline. A skilled human must fill it in.** ## Responsibilities * Perform advanced keyword and topic research * Identify authoritative content opportunities * Build content clusters and editorial roadmaps * Analyze competitors and uncover missing topics * Map primary and secondary keywords to each article * Create detailed, search-intent-driven content briefs * Write or oversee fully humanized SEO content * Include relevant FAQs, supporting questions, and internal-linking opportunities * Optimize content without keyword stuffing * Ensure every article is useful, accurate, engaging, and aligned with the brand’s voice ## Ideal Candidate You should have proven experience with: * SEO keyword research * Content strategy and topical authority * Search intent analysis * Long-form educational content * Content briefs and editorial planning * Competitor gap analysis * AI-assisted content workflows * Human editing and original writing * Tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Google Search Console, Google Keyword Planner, or similar platforms Experience creating content for service-based businesses, local businesses, or home service companies is a major plus. ## What We Do Not Want * Fully AI-generated articles * Generic content written only to hit a word count * Keyword stuffing * Writers who require us to provide every topic * Content that sounds robotic, repetitive, or surface-level * Articles that simply rewrite the existing top-ranking results We want someone who can think strategically, find the right opportunities, and create content that deserves to become an authoritative resource. ## To Apply Please include: 1. Examples of SEO content strategies or content roadmaps you have created 2. Examples of articles you personally researched and wrote 3. The keyword research tools you use 4.
