Summary

__Overview__ We're a commercial electrical contractor (with a newer home services division) looking for a technical and local SEO audit across two of our websites. We handle all our own development in-house, so we are not hiring anyone to implement changes or access our code. What we need is an audit with recommendations specific enough that our team can code them directly. To be clear up front: this is not a general "improve your SEO" engagement. It's a one-time audit and specification. If the deliverable you produce is a page-by-page build spec, we're a great fit. If it's a generic checklist, we're not. __Our setup (please read — this matters)__ Both sites are self-hosted and custom-built in JavaScript (client-side rendered). There is no CMS (no WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, etc.). This means: - There's no admin panel to log into and no plugin to install — every recommendation get implemented in code by our team. - Content is rendered client-side, so we need someone who understands how to audit what Googlebot actually renders, not just the raw HTML. If you've only ever worked inside WordPress/Yoast, this project isn't the right fit. __Scope__ - 2 websites, roughly 4–5 key pages each (approximately 8–10 pages total). - The two sites are for related parts of the same business, so there's shared context between them. __What we need delivered__ For each key page, we're looking for: - Target keyword(s) with the reasoning behind them — search volume, competition, and intent, including local/geo terms - Exact title tag (with character count) - Exact meta description - H1 / H2 heading structure - Which schema / structured-data type to use, and the specific fields to include Plus, across the sites: - Technical items spelled out — XML sitemap structure, robots.txt, canonical strategy - An off-page / local track — Google Business Profile, reviews, and citations The bar: the audit should read like a spec we could hand to a developer and implement without guessing. Concrete strings and values, not "optimize your meta descriptions for relevant keywords." __What this job is NOT__ - Not implementation — we write the code ourselves. - Not ongoing monthly retainer work. This is a one-time audit + spec. (We may consider ongoing local/reputation work as a separate engagement later, but that's not what we're hiring for here.) - Not link-building packages, blog-writing subscriptions, or "social bookmarking" bundles. In your proposal, include your price for the full scope above and your turnaround time. Thanks — we're looking forward to seeing your work.
