SEO Strategist

Job Type: Freelance / Contract (White-Label)

About Us
Made to Thrive is a WordPress development team specializing in custom sites for influencers, content creators, and food bloggers. Our clients have high-traffic, content-heavy websites that need strategies designed to perform and scale. We’re a laid-back, creative, and fun team spread across different time zones, and we love working with people who bring positive energy and are absolute pros at what they do.

The Role
We’re looking for a contract-based SEO Expert who can collaborate with our team on an as-needed basis for client projects, while also helping to keep our team of developers up-to-date on evolving SEO trends and best practices. This role is fully remote with no fixed daily hour commitment (any time zone or location is welcome!) and is ideal for someone willing to work on a per-project or hourly contract basis. It’s perfect for someone who already has their own SEO business but is open to white-labeling services.

What You’ll Do

• Provide SEO audits, strategy, and implementation plans for client projects.
• Perform keyword research, competitor analysis, and content strategy recommendations for high-traffic content creators.
• Partner with our developers during site builds and migrations to ensure technical SEO best practices (schema, site structure, redirects, etc.) are followed.
• Conduct ongoing optimizations for clients who request ongoing SEO support.
• Host a 30-minute monthly “SEO check-in” for our team to share updates on trends, algorithm changes, and best practices for both developers and designers.
• Collaborate closely with our team to help us elevate the performance and visibility of our clients’ sites.

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience with SEO for content-heavy sites (bonus points if you have experience with food bloggers or influencers).
• Deep understanding of technical SEO, on-page SEO, and content strategy.
• Familiarity with WordPress and plugins like Yoast, Rank Math, or other popular SEO tools.
• Awareness of AI-driven content tools and their impact on search rankings, content quality, and strategy.
• Ability to perform in-depth audits and deliver clear, actionable recommendations.
• Knowledge of Core Web Vitals and schema markup.
• Excellent communication skills and a collaborative mindset (we value someone who loves sharing knowledge with the team).
• A proactive approach—someone who keeps up with Google updates, industry trends, and can translate that into practical advice.
• Open to white-label work and available for per-project or hourly contracts (with pay that reflects your experience and expertise).

Bonus Points If You:

• Have worked directly with influencers, content creators, or high-traffic websites.
• Have experience with affiliate SEO or ad network optimization (Mediavine, Raptive, etc.).
• Have advanced expertise in site speed optimization and Core Web Vitals.
• Stay current on AI tools and how they affect content creation, SEO trends, and search performance.

Why Join Us?

• Flexible, contract-based work with projects you can be proud of.
• Collaboration with a friendly, talented, and growing WordPress team.
• Great option for supplemental income alongside your own business or clients.
• Opportunities to share your expertise and help shape SEO strategies for well-known creators.

To apply, please email Lindsay with:

• A quick intro about you and your SEO background.
• A few examples of SEO projects or results you’re proud of.
• Your typical hourly rate or project pricing — we pay competitively and want to make sure it’s a win/win for both sides.
