What you’ll actually do
- Produce substantial pieces yourself: – buying guides, product roundups, how-tos, explainers and seasonal/trend content across the four verticals.
- Write a brief you built: – primary and secondary keywords, search intent, SERP and AI-answer gap analysis, angle, required sections, internal links, schema, and the reason this page deserves to outrank what’s already there.
- Add the things that make content defensible: – original testing or hands-on detail, real quotes or expert input, proprietary data, comparison tables, images we own.
- Co-manage the editorial calendar with the team
Own organic performance
- Run keyword and topic research; build and maintain a rolling 90-day content calendar per site.
- Audit and improve existing content — consolidate cannibalizing pages, refresh decaying posts, fix thin content, redirect or prune what should never have been published.
- Own internal linking, title/meta optimization, heading structure, image optimization and structured data (Article, Author, Product, Breadcrumb, HowTo, FAQ where appropriate).
- Report monthly: what moved, what didn’t, what you’re changing next month. GSC and GA4 as your primary sources, plus Ahrefs or Semrush.
Own AI-search visibility (AEO / GEO)
- Structure content so LLMs can extract and cite it: – direct answers high on the page, clean heading hierarchy, definitions, stats with sources, tables, scannable takeaways.
- Build the entity signals that get a site trusted and quoted: – real author bios with credentials, consistent brand/author entities, citable original data, third-party mentions.
- Track our share of AI citations for priority topics (Profound, Semrush AI Visibility / AI Toolkit, Ahrefs Brand Radar, or manual prompt tracking — we’re open on tooling) and act on what you find.
- Tell us honestly which of these levers is working and which is industry noise.
Coordinate the writers
- Write the briefs 2–5 freelance writers work from, assign and schedule work, and hold deadlines.
- Edit to publish standard: fact-checking, sourcing, brand voice per site, affiliate and sponsored-content disclosure, and no unedited AI filler.
- Maintain the style guide, brief template and pre-publish QA checklist. Give feedback that makes writers better rather than silently rewriting their drafts.
- Publish and format in WordPress (Elementor), using Rank Math or Yoast.
Key Responsibilities
- Multi-Niche Writing: Research and draft high-quality articles, guides, and listicles across diverse verticals (parenting, lifestyle, men’s interests, health, wellness, and culture).
- Editorial Calendar Management: Work within structured publishing schedules, manage task deadlines, and ensure consistent content flow across multiple site rosters.
- Next-Gen Search Optimization: Apply modern SEO, GEO, and LLM-structuring techniques (scannable formatting, clear entity relationships, concise data framing, direct answer targets) to maximize visibility across search engines and AI discovery platforms.
- Brand Voice Adaptation: Seamlessly shift tone and voice to match individual publication guidelines and external brand partners.
- Collaborative Production: Work alongside fellow copywriters and editors to maintain consistent output, meet weekly publishing deadlines, and participate in peer reviews.
Qualifications & Experience
- Proven Copywriting Track Record: 2+ years of digital copywriting, blogging, or publishing experience across lifestyle, parenting, wellness, women’s fashion, beauty, finance, and business verticals.
- Proven track record of SEO Optimization – MUST HAVE
- Editorial Calendar Familiarity: Hands-on experience working against a fast-paced digital publishing calendar and balancing competing project deadlines.
- Search & Generative Optimization: Solid understanding of on-page SEO, keyword integration, and structural strategies for AI-driven search engines (GEO).
- Speed & Voice Versatility: Ability to produce clean, engaging, and well-researched copy on tight turnarounds without sacrificing factual accuracy.
- Project Management & CMS Tools: Proficiency with Asana (preferred/strongly desired) and experience with WordPress or modern CMS platforms.
Nice to have
- Experience on a site making meaningful revenue from display ads (RPM/EPMV awareness) or Amazon Associates.
- You’ve survived a Google core update — and can describe what you did about it.
- Basic HTML, and comfort with structured data by hand.
- Experience with digital PR, HARO-style sourcing, or getting a brand mentioned on Reddit, YouTube and third-party roundups.
- Data comfort: Looker Studio, Sheets, GSC API, or scripting your own audits.
- Photography or the ability to produce original images for reviews.
How to apply
Send us:
- 5 live URLs you wrote or owned, with one line each on what the goal was and what happened.
- One organic-growth result with the numbers — screenshot of GSC or analytics welcome, redact whatever you need to.
- Your brief template (real one, any format).
- Answers to these four questions. Short and specific beats long and general — 150 words each is plenty:
- Pick any one of our four sites. Name one topic cluster you’d build first and why, and one thing you’d fix or delete.
- Give us one specific change you’ve made to get content cited in AI answers, and how you knew whether it worked.
- A writer sends you a draft that’s accurate, on-brief, and boring. What do you do?
- Organic traffic to a money page drops 40% in three weeks. Walk us through your first day of diagnosis.
