Summary

I run a digital marketing agency serving local businesses across California's Central Valley. I'm looking for a skilled Local SEO and GEO specialist to work with me on an ongoing subcontractor basis. Here's how this works: I bring the clients, you do the technical execution, and we work together on scoping and pricing each project. This is not a one-time gig. If you're the right fit there is consistent work here across multiple local business clients. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING Most of my clients are local service businesses such as auto detailing shops, med spas, and contractors. The work typically includes local SEO audits and on-page optimization, schema markup implementation for LocalBusiness, Service, FAQ, and Review types, GEO optimization so AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews surface my clients correctly, location page strategy and copywriting, Google Business Profile optimization, technical SEO including page speed and Core Web Vitals, keyword research and rank tracking, and citation cleanup and NAP consistency. TECHNICAL ENVIRONMENT My clients are primarily on WordPress. The majority use the Divi page builder. A smaller number are built with custom code. You need to be comfortable working inside Divi and implementing code-level changes such as schema, header scripts, and custom HTML blocks where needed. WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR Proven local SEO experience with real results to show. Strong understanding of GEO and how AI search is changing local visibility. Comfortable with WordPress and Divi. Clear communicator I can rely on and trust with client sites. Ability to scope and quote projects so I can price accordingly for my clients. Someone looking for a long-term working relationship, not just a quick job. HOW TO APPLY Tell me about a local SEO win you're proud of. Give me specific results, specific market, and exactly what you did to get there. Generic proposals will be ignored.
