Job Summary

Drive AEO/GEO strategy and content improvements across pages and assets, aligning with buyer journeys to boost generative search visibility.

  • Own GEO/AEO strategy from kickoff through iteration for solution pages, collections, PDPs/PLPs, and help centers.

  • Standout: ability to communicate complex AI concepts clearly to clients and lead cross-channel opportunities.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • You’ll own AEO/GEO strategy for assigned accounts from kickoff through ongoing iteration, and you’ll be responsible for auditing and prioritizing owned-asset improvements across solutions pages, collections and category pages, PDPs/PLPs, help centers, and comparison pages.
  • You’ll develop GEO content plans that align to defined persona cohorts and buyer-journey stages, while creating client-facing reporting and insights that clearly explain what changed, what worked, and what’s next.
  • You’ll also identify cross-channel opportunities where SEO, content, PR, and paid efforts can reinforce generative visibility, and document and improve internal workflows, templates, and QA standards as the space evolves.
  • You’ll be trusted with things that matter: strategic direction, performance interpretation, and client confidence in a space that’s still being defined.
  • Strategy & Client Communication: Explain how LLMs work (retrieval, ranking/selection behaviors, grounding/citations, reasoning limits) in a clean, comprehensive, non-jargony way for stakeholders.
  • Set and defend strategic direction: what to build, what to fix, what to measure, and why. Linking GEO outcomes to business KPIs.
  • Operate as a trusted advisor: lead client conversations, align expectations, and communicate wins/risks with clarity.
  • Influence & Execution Using Owned Assets: Improve solution pages and commercial landing pages to close buyer-journey gaps (use-case clarity, objections, proof, comparisons, FAQs, supporting entities).
  • Create GEO-first content that outperforms baseline LLM understanding through structured, high signal coverage (clear definitions, constraints, examples, decision logic, pros/cons, edge cases, and “what to do next” guidance).
  • Recommend and collaborate on structured data, internal linking, and content architecture that strengthens entity associations and retrieval-ready coverage.

Requirements

  • 2-3 years of experience in prior SEO roles. 1 year of experience in generative roles preferred.
  • Strong understanding of modern search + LLM ecosystems (including how “answers” get formed and when citations appear).
  • Familiarity with technical SEO fundamentals (crawling/indexation, internal linking, structured data, canonicals).
  • Strong proficiency using AI tools (ChatGPT, Profound, and agentic environments) to accelerate research, mapping, and content systems—while maintaining quality control.
  • eCommerce experience (PLP/PDP optimization, attribute-driven content, category taxonomy, merchandising alignment).
  • Demonstrated experience influencing outcomes through owned content/IA optimization (commercial + informational).

Nice To Have

  • 1 year of experience in generative roles preferred.
