SEO + AIO Content Writer — Optimize for Google and AI Search (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews)

**$250 a month not 250 total Overview Looking for a content writer who understands that ranking on Google is now only half the job The other half is getting cited, quoted, and summarized by AI answer engines — AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot Work spans several client accounts across service, healthcare, and local business verticals Ongoing relationship, not a one-off What AIO means for this role Structuring content so LLMs can extract and attribute it: clear question-answer blocks, self-contained paragraphs, definitional openers, no burying the answer under 400 words of preamble Writing to be quotable — short, factual, standalone statements that survive being lifted out of context Entity clarity: naming the brand, product, and category explicitly rather than leaning on pronouns and implied subjects Building genuine citation-worthiness: original data, specific numbers, named sources, first-hand detail. Aggregated fluff doesn't get cited Schema-aware writing (FAQ, HowTo, Article, LocalBusiness) and knowing which content shapes earn AI citations vs. which get ignored Tracking and reporting AI visibility, not just keyword rank What you'll write Blog posts and pillar/cluster articles (800–1,800 words) targeting both keyword and prompt-level intent On-page website copy: homepage, service pages, location pages, about pages Metadata: title tags, meta descriptions, heading hierarchy, image alt text FAQ blocks, comparison content, and definitional content built specifically for AI extraction Internal linking recommendations and CTA copy Requirements 2+ years writing content that ranks — show examples with results, not just links Demonstrated understanding of generative search: AI Overviews, GEO/AEO, LLM citation behavior. If you've never thought about how a model chooses a source, this isn't the right fit Fluent in search intent, keyword mapping, and topical clustering — traditional SEO fundamentals still matter You may use AI to draft, but you edit heavily and the output reads human. Writing for AI does not mean writing like AI Familiar with at least one of: Ahrefs, Semrush, Surfer, Clearscope, Profound, Otterly, or similar AI-visibility tools Native or near-native English Nice to have Experience with local service or healthcare/medical clients Comfort publishing in Webflow, WordPress, or Squarespace Understanding of E-E-A-T and its application to YMYL content Any experience measuring brand mentions or citations inside LLM outputs
