Proofreader & Fact-Checker for SEO Articles (Native US English Speaker Required)

**About the Role** I run an SEO content operation serving clients across multiple industries — primarily health and wellness, but not exclusively. I'm looking for a reliable, detail-oriented proofreader and fact-checker to review AI-drafted articles before they go live. This is a straightforward but important role — the content needs to be accurate, readable, and polished. If you're thorough and dependable, there's real opportunity to grow into full article writing, editing, and direct website publishing responsibilities. --- **What You'll Do** - Read AI-generated SEO articles and flag grammatical errors, awkward phrasing, and inconsistencies - Manually fact-check claims against credible, authoritative sources relevant to the topic - Submit a simple fact-check log with each article: claim → source URL → verdict - Flag anything that reads as inaccurate, misleading, or unsupported --- **Requirements** - Native US English speaker — this is a firm requirement, not a preference - Strong command of grammar, punctuation, and clarity - Ability to find and evaluate credible sources across a range of topics - You must fact-check manually — AI tools cannot be used for verification - Reliable turnaround and clear communication --- **Nice to Have** - Background in journalism, English, communications, or a related field - Prior experience editing web content or blogs across various industries - Familiarity with what SEO content looks like --- **How to Apply** Write me a cover letter that: 1. Tells me your background and why this role fits your skills 2. Describes how you would fact-check a claim (walk me through your actual process) 3. Be very straight-forward with me. Don't make a long AI cover letter because I hate reading them and usually end up skipping past them. Applicants without a personalized cover letter will not be considered. Selected candidates will be given a short paid test task (1 article) before any ongoing work is offered. --- **Pay:** $12–$15/hr to start | Room to grow based on quality and reliability **Volume:** Part-time to start, with potential to expand **Location:** United States only
