About Rule Your Kingdom: Rule Your Kingdom is a premium forensic SEO and search engineering agency based in Waco, TX, dedicated to building technical SEO systems and digital infrastructure for high-stakes industries where search visibility directly impacts revenue. We serve clients in competitive sectors like law firms, medical practices, dental offices, home services, and eCommerce, capturing demand at the exact moment intent is expressed. Our approach is engineering focused: no smoke, no shortcuts, no wasted spend - only measurable authority built from the ground up through forensic analysis, intent-driven systems, and data-driven strategies. As a Google Partner, we command top spots on Google for our clients, blending creativity with rigorous technical expertise to foster brand loyalty and predictable revenue ecosystems. We're committed to outstanding customer service, honesty, integrity, and educating our clients on complex digital topics. We're expanding our paid search capabilities and seeking a highly skilled Google Paid Search Specialist with strong expertise in both Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads. We utilize both platforms extensively across our client base, and the right person must be highly capable with both. The types of Google paid search clients you may be taking over are in the following industries: automotive repair, residential HVAC, residential painting, roofing, flooring, kitchen and bath resurfacing/refinishing, aviation, and ecommerce sales of high-end sporting equipment. The focus of our proactive marketing efforts is to attract new clients primarily in the fields of law, healthcare, home services, and e-commerce. This is a part-time freelance role starting at 10 hours per week immediately, with the potential to grow to 20 hours per week over the next several months as we continue to grow quickly. There is also the potential to grow into a full-time position if you choose, although you are also welcome to remain part-time if that is your preference. You will represent yourself as our Paid Search Engineering Specialist - a title that aligns with our forensic SEO and search engineering prowess. You'll handle client accounts on our behalf, maintaining our Google Partner certifications by passing required Google tests, such as Google Ads certifications. While not exclusive to us, your work servicing our accounts must embody our engineering mindset: data-driven decisions over intuition, proactive optimization, and alignment with business objectives for maximum ROI. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, analytical acumen, strategic thinking, and strong client-facing communication. You must be open and available to participate in paid client-facing meetings when needed, including client onboarding, troubleshooting, and periodic reporting/update meetings. You will also be expected to periodically provide basic information to our sales team to help us evaluate and land prospective Google paid search clients. This may include helping us determine whether a particular prospective business client is a good candidate for Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, or both; estimating how many hours of setup would be involved; estimating how many hours of monthly management would likely be required; and recommending appropriate monthly Google Ads spend or weekly Google Local Services Ads budgets. This limited sales-support input is the only activity we would expect you to occasionally perform without being paid, because none of us gets paid unless we land the account. You must be comfortable with that arrangement. If you're a proactive expert who thrives in fast-evolving environments, including 2026 trends like privacy-centric tracking and Local Service Ads, and can deliver measurable results in competitive markets, we want to hear from you. Key Responsibilities: - Manage and optimize Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads accounts for 10 hours weekly initially, then up to 20 hours per week over the next several months (plus more if desired), including setup, ongoing maintenance, and scaling for new clients. - Pass Google Ads certification exams on our behalf to maintain our Google Partner status. Structure campaigns logically based on business objectives, using tools such as Google Ads Editor for bulk changes and the Manager Account (MCC) for multi-account oversight. - Conduct in-depth keyword research and management, incorporating negative keywords to eliminate irrelevant searches and reduce wasted spend. - Implement and refine bidding strategies, including Target CPA and Target ROAS, using a mix of automation and manual controls for budget optimization. - Craft compelling ad copy, including Responsive Search Ads (RSAs), and conduct A/B testing for performance gains. - Enhance ads with extensions and assets, such as site links, callouts, and location extensions, to boost visibility. - Analyze key metrics, including CTR, CPC, Conversion Rate, ROAS, and other relevant performance data, using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration to identify trends, underperforming segments, and opportunities. - Set up and maintain conversion tracking, including server-side and first-party data solutions for privacy compliance. - Perform proactive optimizations: search term audits, pausing underperforming campaigns, audience targeting, remarketing, and landing page alignment to achieve 1:1 conversion ratios. - Handle automation wisely - trusting Google's AI where appropriate but overriding to prevent overspending. - Manage and optimize Google Local Services Ads for service-based clients, including profile review, budget recommendations, lead quality evaluation, dispute management where appropriate, and ongoing performance monitoring. - Stay ahead of trends like Performance Max (PMax), privacy-centric tracking, and Local Service Ads (LSAs) for service-based clients. - Provide clear, insightful reporting to internal stakeholders, highlighting ROI and strategic recommendations. - Participate in paid client-facing meetings as needed, including onboarding meetings, troubleshooting meetings, and periodic reporting/update meetings. - Periodically provide basic sales-support guidance to help us evaluate prospective Google paid search clients, including whether Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, or both are appropriate; estimated setup and monthly management time; and recommended ad spend levels. - Align all efforts with client business goals, such as lead generation and brand awareness, while embodying our forensic, engineering-driven approach. Required Skills & Qualifications: 1. Technical Proficiency & Strategy - Proven expertise in account structure and setup: Organizing campaigns, ad groups, and keywords based on business objectives. - Advanced keyword management and research using tools like Keyword Planner, with strong use of negative keywords to minimize waste. - Mastery of bidding and budget optimization, including automated strategies such as Target CPA and Target ROAS, along with manual in-depth control. - Skilled in ad copywriting and testing: Creating relevant ads, RSAs, and A/B variations for optimal performance. - Proficient with ad extensions and assets to enhance visibility, including site links, callouts, and location extensions. - Expert-level knowledge of Google Ads Editor for bulk edits and Google Ads Manager Account (MCC) for multi-client management. - Strong working knowledge of Google Local Services Ads, including setup, optimization, budget strategy, lead review, lead quality improvement, and ongoing client guidance. 2.

Optimization & Maintenance - Proactive performance tuning: Regular audits, pausing underperformers, and testing new strategies. - Landing page optimization for relevance, mobile-friendliness, and high conversion rates. Audience targeting and remarketing to refine reach and reconnect with visitors. - Balanced handling of automation: Knowing when to leverage or override Google's AI to control spend. - Ongoing Google Local Services Ads optimization, including evaluating lead quality, recommending appropriate weekly budgets, and identifying opportunities to improve performance. 4.

Senior SEO Specialist Creative Heights | Remote Contract via Upwork About Creative Heights Creative Heights is a digital agency that builds, markets, and supports websites for a roster of growing businesses across multiple industries — including online education, home services, real estate operations, adventure travel, industrial manufacturing, and leadership training. Our work spans WordPress and WooCommerce development, paid advertising, content production, and full-stack marketing strategy. We're looking for a senior SEO Specialist to join our team as a long-term contractor and own SEO strategy and execution across our client accounts. The Role This is not an entry-level position and it is not a list-builder gig. We need someone who can walk into a client account, audit what's broken, build a prioritized roadmap, execute on it, and report results in plain language. You'll work directly with our team and occasionally with clients, so clarity and ownership matter as much as technical skill. You'll be SEO lead across 5–7 active client accounts, with workload split between technical SEO, on-page optimization, content strategy, link building, and — critically — Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) for AI search products like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Claude. We are looking for someone who knows how to do things and has actually done things. Theory is cheap. We want a practitioner who has shipped work and gotten measurable results. We will ask for specific references and we will call them to verify. What You'll Do • Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) / AI Search. Get our clients cited, surfaced, and recommended inside ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and other AI search products. You should have a clear strategy and a playbook you can implement from day one — not a thesis on what GEO might become, but a working approach with proof it moves the needle. • Technical SEO audits and remediation. Crawl issues, indexation problems, Core Web Vitals, schema, redirects, canonical issues, internal linking — across mostly WordPress sites (some with LearnDash, WooCommerce, FunnelKit). • Keyword research and content strategy. Identify ranking opportunities, build content briefs, and work with our content team or write yourself when the project calls for it. • On-page optimization. Title tags, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, content depth, entity coverage. We expect you to know modern SEO, not 2015 SEO. • Link building. Run real link building campaigns — digital PR, HARO/Qwoted-style work, niche placements, broken link reclamation, strategic guest contributions. Earned links, not bought lists. • Local SEO. Several clients are regional or multi-location. Google Business Profile management, citations, local landing page strategy. • AI-powered workflows. Use Claude (or comparable AI tools) to analyze data at scale, accelerate audits, batch content briefs, parse SERPs, and generally move faster without sacrificing quality. We expect you to have already built workflows like this, not to be exploring them for the first time on our dime. • Reporting and analysis. Pull data from GSC, GA4, Google Tag Manager, Ahrefs/SEMrush, and our reporting stack (Windsor.ai). Translate numbers into clear narratives clients can act on. • Strategic recommendations. Tell us what's working, what isn't, and what to do next. We value people who push back with data over people who just execute tickets. • Collaboration with paid and dev teams. SEO doesn't live in a silo at our shop. You'll coordinate with our PPC and development work to make sure technical changes don't break rankings and that paid and organic strategy reinforce each other. Must-Haves • 5+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including agency or multi-client environments. • Demonstrated results getting clients ranked, cited, or surfaced inside AI search products (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, etc.). A clear GEO strategy and a playbook you can implement from day one. • Past experience running link building campaigns with demonstrated, verifiable results. Be ready to show what you built, how you built it, and what it produced. • Demonstrated wins on technical SEO projects — not just "I worked on the team that did this," but specific issues you diagnosed and fixed with measurable outcomes. • Strong WordPress fluency. You should know your way around Yoast/Rank Math, plugin conflicts that affect SEO, and how to communicate with developers about technical fixes. • Solid command of GA4, Google Search Console, Google Tag Manager, and at least one of Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Sistrix. • Working AI productivity stack. You have built workflows around Claude (or other LLMs) to analyze SEO data at scale — SERP parsing, content gap analysis, log file review, bulk audits, brief generation. Show us the workflow, not just the tool list. • Comfort with structured data (schema.org), redirects, server-side issues (robots.txt, sitemaps, status codes), and Core Web Vitals. • Excellent written English. You'll be writing reports, content briefs, and sometimes client-facing emails. • Self-directed work style. We tell you the goal, you build the path. • Verifiable references. We will ask for specific references from past clients or employers, and we will call them. If that's a problem, this isn't the role for you. Nice to Have • Experience with LearnDash or other LMS platforms (one of our largest accounts is education- focused). • WooCommerce SEO experience — product schema, faceted navigation, category page optimization. • Familiarity with Windsor.ai, Looker Studio, or BigQuery for reporting. • Basic comfort with HTML/CSS and reading PHP (you don't need to write code, but you should be able to read a template and understand what it's doing). • Local/multi-location SEO at scale (state-by-state or city-by-city expansion). • Experience with content production workflows — briefs, editorial calendars, working with writers. What We're Not Looking For • Agencies or resellers. We want to work directly with the person doing the work. • Generalists who do "a little SEO" alongside five other services. • Anyone whose strategy starts with mass directory submissions, PBNs, or AI-generated content at scale. • People who can talk about GEO and AI search but can't show specific work that produced specific results. • Anyone unable or unwilling to provide checkable references. Engagement Details • Type: Long-term contract. We're not hiring for a one-off project. • Hours: Starting around 20 hours/week with room to grow into a larger ongoing engagement based on fit. • Schedule: Flexible, but we need overlap with US business hours (Central Time) for client calls and team coordination. • Communication: Slack for daily work, Zoom for weekly check-ins, project management in our internal tools. • Rate: Open. Tell us your rate and we'll evaluate against the value you bring. How to Apply In your proposal, please include: • A short intro — who you are and why this role interests you. • Two specific SEO wins from the past 18 months. Include the problem, what you did, and the measurable result. Skip the case studies that are just screenshots of traffic going up; we want the why behind the curve. • One specific GEO / AI search win. What client, what platform (ChatGPT, Perplexity, AI Overviews, etc.), what you did, and how you measured it. • One link building campaign you ran. The strategy, the execution, and the verifiable outcome — links earned, referring domain quality, and any traffic or ranking impact. • A short description of an AI-powered workflow you've built and use regularly (Claude or otherwise). What problem it solves, what it replaced, and roughly how much time it saves. • Your typical reporting cadence and what your client communication looks like. • Two references we can call. Name, role, company, and the work you did for them. We will actually call. • To confirm you read this carefully, start your proposal with the word "Compass." We read every proposal that follows the instructions. Generic boilerplate gets passed over. Looking forward to working with the right person. — The Creative Heights Team
