SEO + Backlink Specialist for AI Voice Agent Company (Ongoing, Start With Paid Audit)

AutoQuill AI builds AI voice agents for service businesses. Plumbers, HVAC, gyms, senior care, mortgage. Our agents answer inbound calls 24/7, book straight to the client's calendar, and push call details into their CRM. We have paying clients and real results, including one outbound agent that has made 4,000+ calls and set 350+ appointments since deployment. We also build AI automations more broadly (workflow automation, CRM integrations, lead routing), but we are deliberately niching down to AI voice. That matters for this role. The marketing should push voice agents first, with automation as supporting proof that we can build the whole stack, not as its own campaign. Nearly all of our leads come from outbound and referral right now. We want the website pulling its weight. WHAT WE NEED Organic growth for autoquillai.com. Four areas, roughly in priority order: 1. Backlinks and authority Directory and listing submissions (AI tool directories, SaaS directories, local citations, Google Business Profile), guest posts, and digital PR in home services and small business publications. No PBNs, no purchased link packages, no link blasts. 2. AI search visibility Our buyers ask ChatGPT and Perplexity things like "what is the best AI receptionist for a plumbing company." We want to be the answer. Getting cited in AI generated answers is a different discipline than blue link SEO, and we want someone who knows the difference. 3. Pages that rank and convert Comparison and alternative pages against other AI receptionist and answering service vendors. Industry landing pages like "AI receptionist for plumbers" or "24/7 answering service for HVAC." 4. Technical and on page SEO Site audit, page speed, indexation, internal linking, title and meta structure, schema markup. If you see a better organic lever than the four above, pitch it. We would rather hear your honest read than have you nod along to ours. NOT IN SCOPE No email marketing. No cold email. Please do not pitch it. HOW THIS WORKS Two steps. Step 1: a paid trial. Your first assignment is an audit of autoquillai.com plus a prioritized 90 day plan. Specific pages, specific keywords, specific link targets, realistic timeline to results. This is the real interview and we pay for your time on it. Step 2: ongoing work if the audit is strong. We buy one defined project at a time rather than running an open ended retainer. Month one might be technical fixes, month two three comparison pages, month three a directory and citation push. Clear deliverables, clear scope, reviewed every 90 days. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - Real SEO experience with B2B services or SaaS, not ecommerce - Two examples of sites you have ranked, with the keyword and its current position - Comfortable in Google Search Console, Ahrefs or Semrush, and able to read GA4 - Written English strong enough that your page copy ships without a rewrite - Individual freelancer or small team preferred. If you are an agency, tell us who does the hands on work. HOW WE WORK Solo founder, US Eastern time, fully async. Communication through Upwork. We are fine with any time zone as long as you post a short written update on what you did and what is next. Fast decisions, no committees, no six week approval cycles. Bring opinions. If you think something we asked for is a waste of money, say so. TO APPLY Start your proposal with the word SPARKY so we know you read this. Then answer these four: 1. Link two sites you have ranked in a B2B services or SaaS niche. Include the keyword and where it currently sits. 2. Look at autoquillai.com. What are the first three things you would change, and why? Be specific. Generic audit language gets skipped. 3. How do you get a site cited in ChatGPT and Perplexity answers, and what is different about it compared to ranking on Google? 4. Are you an individual or an agency? If an agency, who does the actual work and where are they based? We read every proposal that answers these. We skip the ones that do not.
