Technical SEO Specialist (Hands-On, Speed & Indexing) - Contract to Hire
We are hiring a hands-on Technical SEO Specialist who will personally implement technical SEO changes, not just audit and recommend them.
This role is execution-focused.
If you only deliver reports or rely on developers to implement everything, this role is not a fit.
What This Role Is About
Most websites struggle because:
Technical SEO issues are identified but never fixed
Plugins, scripts, and CSS pile up over time
Speed and Core Web Vitals regress after launches
Indexing issues are monitored but not resolved
Your responsibility is to find the issue and fix it.
Some tasks may be delegated, but you own the outcome.
