I Don't Just Optimize Websites. I Rebuild How Search Engines See Them Most SEO freelancers will audit your site, hand you a spreadsheet full of issues, and call it a day. That's not how I work. I get into the actual bones of your website — the architecture, the crawl paths, the structured data, the link signals — and I rebuild it from the ground up so that both Google and AI platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini have no choice but to take notice. Eight years in this field has taught me one thing above everything else — surface-level SEO doesn't last. What lasts is a technically clean site, a strong local presence, a backlink profile built on real relevance, and content structured in a way that AI-driven search engines can actually understand and cite. That's exactly what I deliver. === WHAT I SPECIALIZE IN === 📌 AI SEO / AEO / GEO — The Future of Search Is Already Here Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT search, Perplexity, Gemini — these platforms are already pulling answers from websites and presenting them directly to users. If your site isn't structured for AI visibility, you're already losing traffic you don't even know about. I fix that: ✔ AI Visibility Audits — identifying exactly where your brand is missing from AI results ✔ Answer Engine Optimization — structuring content so AI platforms pull from your site ✔ Generative Engine Optimization — building entity authority for generative search ✔ Structured Q&A blocks designed specifically for conversational AI queries ✔ Knowledge Graph setup and entity reinforcement ✔ AI-first content architecture that satisfies both traditional and AI-driven search 📌 Technical SEO — The Foundation Everything Else Is Built On Before anything else, I fix what's broken under the hood. A website with technical issues will never rank consistently — no matter how good the content is or how many backlinks it has. I go deeper than most: ✔ Full crawl and indexation audits using Screaming Frog, Ahrefs & SEMrush ✔ Core Web Vitals optimization — LCP, CLS, INP fixes that actually move scores ✔ Schema markup and structured data implementation for rich results and AI readability ✔ Canonical strategy and redirect chain cleanup ✔ JavaScript SEO — fixing render-blocking issues that hide content from crawlers ✔ XML sitemap and robots.txt configuration ✔ Internal linking architecture built to pass authority where it matters most ✔ Index bloat cleanup and thin content removal ✔ Log file analysis to understand exactly how Google is crawling your site 📌 Local SEO — Dominate Your Area, Not Just Your Keyword List Ranking locally is a completely different game from organic SEO. It requires entity authority, geographic relevance, and a Google Business Profile that sends the right signals. Here's how I approach it: ✔ Google Business Profile optimization — categories, services, photos, Q&A, posts ✔ 3-Pack ranking strategy built around proximity, relevance, and authority ✔ NAP consistency audit and citation cleanup across all major directories ✔ Local Schema implementation — LocalBusiness, Service, Review markup ✔ Service area page architecture that targets city and suburb-level intent ✔ Multi-location SEO frameworks for businesses operating across multiple areas ✔ Review acquisition strategy to build trust signals organically ✔ Location-based internal linking to reinforce geographic relevance 📌 Link Building — Quality Over Everything I don't do cheap links. I don't use PBNs. I don't send you links from irrelevant sites just to hit a number. Every single backlink I build is manually vetted against strict criteria: ✔ Guest posts on DR 50+ websites with real traffic and genuine rankings ✔ Editorial link placements within existing content on authority sites ✔ Competitor backlink gap campaigns — targeting the exact links your rivals have ✔ Creative outreach built around your niche, not a generic email template ✔ Every link checked for: Domain Rating, monthly traffic, spam score, relevance, and zero Google penalties === HOW I WORK === I don't take on projects just to fill my schedule. Before I start anything, I look at your site, understand your business, and tell you honestly what needs to be done and in what order. No upselling services you don't need. No vague timelines. No vanity metrics. You get a clear plan, regular updates, and work that's actually finished — not handed off to a subcontractor or generated by an AI tool and sent to you as deliverables. Every project I take on gets treated like it's the only one on my plate. === TOOLS I USE === Ahrefs · SEMrush · Screaming Frog · Google Search Console · Google Analytics · Surfer SEO · PageSpeed Insights · Schema Validator · Moz · GTmetrix Tell me your website, your biggest SEO challenge right now, and what you've already tried. I'll take a look and give you a straight answer on what's actually going on and what it'll take to fix it. Message me today and let's get started as soon as possible.

I vet each and every link opportunity to ensure they meet the following minimum guidelines: ☑ Domain Authority: 25+ ☑ Estimated Monthly Traffic: 1,000+ ☑ Moz Spam Score: < 5% ☑ No Google Penalties (no large drops in traffic) ☑ Is relevant to your industry ☑ Isn't part of a PBN Link Building plans start at $2500/month with an initial $300 start up fee. SEO OPTIMIZED CONTENT CREATION High quality content is by far the most important factor when it comes to ranking well in Google. Without it you're chances of ranking are extremely low. While content is important, so is creating relevant content that aligns with search intent. Even high quality content wont rank for your targeted keywords if the content doesn't match the intent behind those keywords. I have developed a process for creating high quality, relevant content that focuses on search intent. This is how I'm able to consistently rank websites for highly competitive search terms. If you're interested in how I handle content creation please reach out and schedule a call. Thanks for checking out my profile! -Derek

Technical SEO hiring guide
Technical SEO freelancers diagnose and resolve infrastructure issues that keep search engines from properly crawling, indexing, and surfacing your site, from fixing redirect chains and duplicate content to improving page speed, implementing schema markup, and guiding site migrations. Whether you need a one-time audit to identify indexation problems, hands-on support for a platform migration, or ongoing maintenance to address Search Console warnings, hiring the right technical SEO specialist helps you remove the barriers that limit organic visibility without restructuring your entire marketing strategy. If your project also includes content optimization or link building, you may want to explore hiring an SEO expert for broader support.
What does a technical SEO freelancer do?
Technical SEO freelancers focus on the parts of SEO that affect whether search engines can access, interpret, and index your site. Their work includes conducting technical audits to identify crawl and indexation issues, optimizing site speed and Core Web Vitals, configuring XML sitemaps and robots.txt files, fixing redirect chains and broken links, resolving duplicate content through canonicalization, implementing structured data (schema markup), improving internal linking architecture, and supporting website migrations to minimize search disruption.
Common deliverables include technical audit reports with prioritized recommendations, updated sitemaps and robots.txt configurations, redirect maps for migrations, schema markup implementation, site speed improvement plans, and post-migration validation reports. Depending on your platform and team structure, a technical SEO freelancer may collaborate with web developers for code-level changes, content strategists for on-page improvements, or your internal marketing team to align technical fixes with broader SEO goals.
How to hire a technical SEO freelancer on Upwork
Hiring a technical SEO freelancer on Upwork involves posting a job description centered on the issue you need solved, evaluating candidates based on relevant case studies, interviewing top choices about their diagnostic process, and finalizing scope before work begins.
Step 1: Post a job
Start by describing the technical problem, your platform, and the deliverable you need. A strong technical SEO job post includes:
The technical issue or goal (slow indexation, migration prep, duplicate content, site speed)
Your platform and environment (WordPress, Shopify, headless, custom build)
Expected deliverables (audit report, redirect map, schema implementation, fix validation)
Timeline and urgency
Budget model (fixed-price for scoped work, hourly for evolving support)
Required tools or certifications (Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, platform experience)
Use the Job Post Generator, powered by Uma™, Upwork's Mindful AI, to draft a customizable job post. Describe your project in a few sentences, and Uma will create a starting point you can refine with your specific platform details and deliverables. You can also review job description templates to structure your post around responsibilities, required skills, environment details, and success criteria.
Step 2: Evaluate candidates
Review proposals and shortlist freelancers whose portfolios include comparable technical fixes. Focus on:
Case studies or examples showing similar work (sitemap fixes, duplicate content resolution, migration support, e-commerce SEO)
Platform-specific experience (WordPress, Shopify, Magento, or custom builds matching yours)
Client reviews mentioning technical depth, communication clarity, and post-implementation results
Proposed approach in the proposal, including how the freelancer plans to diagnose root causes and validate fixes
Tool proficiency (Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, SEMrush)
Talent badges such as Top Rated or Expert-Vetted, and Job Success Score (JSS)
Upwork's shortlist and comparison tools let you organize candidates side-by-side before scheduling interviews, and filters help you narrow by platform experience, certification, or hourly rate.
Step 3: Interview your top choices
Interview your top selections with a structured 20–30 minute agenda that validates their diagnostic process, technical judgment, and how they handle QA and handoff. Use Instant Interviews to collect structured video responses early, then move strong candidates to a live discussion. During the interview:
Walk through your current site structure and the technical issue you need resolved
Ask how they diagnose crawl or indexation problems using Google Search Console and log files
Discuss their process for validating fixes, such as redirect testing, schema validation, or Search Console monitoring
Confirm their approach to documentation and stakeholder communication
Clarify how they handle scope changes or unexpected findings during audits
For role-specific questions, see common interview questions for SEO roles. You can also use Upwork's built-in messaging and video tools to keep all interview communication in one place.
Step 4: Agree on scope and begin work
Before work starts, finalize the contract in writing so scope, review points, and payment terms are clearly defined. Choose fixed-price when the work can be broken into clear deliverables or milestones, such as audit delivery, implementation, and QA. Choose hourly when the scope is evolving or you need ongoing support for monitoring and incremental improvements.
Before the project starts:
List final deliverables, what is included, and what falls outside scope
Set milestones for fixed-price work (audit delivery, implementation, validation) or weekly expectations for hourly support
Define success criteria, such as indexation coverage targets, page speed benchmarks, or zero redirect chains
Confirm communication cadence, including update frequency, progress check-ins, and escalation paths
Document how revisions and approved scope changes will be handled
Use funded milestones for fixed-price projects so payments are held in project funds and released when you approve deliverables
How much does hiring a technical SEO freelancer cost?
The cost of hiring a technical SEO freelancer depends primarily on project scope, site complexity, platform constraints, and whether the engagement includes implementation or advisory work only. While Upwork does not publish a dedicated technical SEO pricing page, SEO experts typically charge $15–$35 per hour, with basic audits ranging from $300–$800. Technical SEO work often aligns with similar project-based structures but may command higher rates when migrations, JavaScript rendering, or custom platform work is involved.
Technical SEO audit
$500–$2,000 /project
- Crawl and indexation review
- Prioritized issue list with severity rankings
- Implementation roadmap
Technical fixes sprint
$800–$3,500 /project
- Redirect, duplicate content, and broken link fixes
- XML sitemap and robots.txt setup or optimization
- Schema markup or canonical tag cleanup
Site speed and Core Web Vitals project

- Page speed audit and recommendations
- Implementation tickets for dev team
- Before/after performance monitoring plan
Website migration support
$2,000–$8,000+ /project
- Redirect mapping and migration checklist
- Pre-launch crawl and indexation safeguards
- Post-launch QA report and monitoring
Ongoing technical SEO support
$1,000–$4,000 /month
- Monthly Search Console issue reviews
- Incremental technical improvements
- Recommendations backlog and reporting
Cost varies with site size, platform (WordPress, Shopify, headless CMS), severity of issues, and turnaround expectations. Fixed-price contracts work well for clearly scoped audits and implementation sprints, while hourly arrangements often fit ongoing debugging and iterative support better. For related pricing context, see SEO expert cost benchmarks.
Frequently asked questions
Is hiring a technical SEO freelancer worth it?
Hiring a technical SEO freelancer is often worth it when structural issues prevent search engines from properly crawling, understanding, or indexing your site, or when technical problems are limiting performance during a redesign, migration, or growth phase. Google's technical requirements make clear that pages must be accessible to Googlebot, return a 200 status code, and contain indexable content, so technical barriers can directly limit visibility regardless of content quality.
What should I include in a technical SEO job post?
To write an effective technical SEO job post, include your site or platform, the specific technical issue, required tools or certifications (Google Search Console, Screaming Frog, platform experience), expected deliverables (audit, redirect map, schema implementation), timeline, and budget model (fixed-price or hourly). The more specific you are about the technical problem and the expected output, the more accurate and relevant the proposals you receive will be.
How do I know whether I need a technical SEO specialist or a broader SEO expert?
A technical SEO specialist is typically the stronger fit when the limiting factor is site infrastructure, crawl or indexation issues, migrations, JavaScript rendering, or performance bottlenecks rather than content strategy, keyword research, or off-page tactics like link building. If your site has Google Search Console reports showing crawl errors, duplicate content issues, or indexation problems, or if you are planning a platform migration or URL structure change, technical SEO expertise becomes especially valuable. For broader optimization that includes keyword targeting, content planning, and link building, consider hiring a general SEO expert.
What tools do technical SEO freelancers use?
Technical SEO freelancers often use Google Search Console for crawl and indexation monitoring, Screaming Frog or similar crawlers for site audits, SEMrush or Ahrefs for technical analysis and competitor research, and PageSpeed Insights or Lighthouse for performance testing. Depending on your platform, they may also work with content management system (CMS)-specific tools for schema markup, sitemaps, or redirect management. When evaluating candidates, ask which tools they use and whether they have experience with your specific platform and tech stack.
