Technical SEO + AEO/GEO Specialist for WordPress (Divi + Custom Code)
Only freelancers located in the U.S. may apply.U.S. located freelancers only
Project type: Small fixed-scope technical SEO project to start. We run a B2B SaaS website on WordPress. The theme is Divi, but parts of the site are built in custom/hand-coded HTML, so we need someone comfortable working across both, not just inside the Divi builder. We're looking for someone with real technical SEO experience plus AEO/GEO (answer-engine and generative-engine optimization) expertise. We care about how our pages get crawled, indexed, and cited by both search engines and LLMs. To start, we have three specific issues to resolve: 1. Staging site is publicly indexed. Our staging environment is showing up in search results alongside the live site. This splits ranking/citation authority and creates duplicate-content risk. It needs to be noindexed (or password-gated) and cleaned out of the index. 2. Blog index isn't fully crawlable. Only two of our blog posts are discoverable, even though several are live and indexed. The blog index is JavaScript-rendered, and our XML sitemap is only listing a fraction of the posts (the newer ones, which appear to be a different post type, are missing). We need the full blog properly exposed via sitemap/feed so every post is crawlable by search engines and LLM crawlers. We can share our initial findings to give you a head start. 3. Diagnose other indexing gaps. Beyond the blog, we want you to identify why other pages aren't being indexed and recommend fixes. You should have: Strong technical SEO background (crawling, indexing, sitemaps, Search Console) AEO/GEO experience (optimizing for AI/LLM citation, not just classic rankings) Hands-on WordPress experience, including Divi and custom-coded pages Ability to diagnose and clearly explain root causes, not just apply generic checklists To apply: Briefly describe a similar technical SEO/indexing issue you've resolved, and your experience with AEO/GEO. Please confirm you're comfortable working in both Divi and raw code.
