SEO / AEO / GEO & Web development - Virtual Assistant

We're a boutique London marketing agency helping SMEs compete with bigger players. We need a hands-on, detail-obsessed VA to help us execute SEO, AEO/GEO and web content work for our agency and our clients. You'll be working from briefs and AI-assisted drafts that we provide, and your job is to bring the web dev and SEO expertise to turn those into published, on-brand, technically sound work: not to generate content from scratch with no oversight. WHAT YOU'LL DO - On-page and technical SEO: keyword research, meta data, internal linking, crawl/speed/mobile fixes, monthly reporting - AEO/GEO optimisation: answer-first content structure, FAQ/Article/ Organization schema, checking AI crawler access, citation tracking - Build and publish landing pages in WordPress (or similar) from our briefs - Polish, format, and publish SEO blog posts from AI-assisted drafts - Keep our shared tracker updated and flag issues early WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU - Real WordPress build experience (or equivalent CMS) and basic HTML/CSS - Confident using Google Search Console, Google Analytics and an SEO tool (SE Ranking, Ahrefs or SEMrush) - You understand schema markup and can implement it, not just describe it - Excellent written English; happy to follow a documented brand style guide - Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT/Claude) to accelerate drafting, but you always fact-check and polish before anything goes live - Based in a timezone with at least a few hours' overlap with UK working hours (09:00–17:00 GMT/BST) HOURS & RATE 20–25 hours/week to start, ongoing if it's a good fit. Hourly contract with Upwork time tracking. HOW TO APPLY In your proposal, tell us: (1) one WordPress site you've built end to end and what your role was, (2) one example where you optimised a page or post for SEO and what changed, (3) whether you've implemented schema markup before and on what. Applications that ignore these three questions won't be shortlisted. We'll ask shortlisted candidates to complete a short, paid test task before any ongoing commitment.
