Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute SEO and AEO strategies for nonprofit and for-good clients, with a focus on increasing visibility in both traditional search and AI-powered answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, Claude, and others)

  • Experience with or a genuine understanding of the nonprofit sector and the unique strategic challenges mission-driven organizations face
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills: you can explain a technical rec to a non-technical person without making their eyes glaze over
  • Self-directed and organized: fully remote means we trust you to manage your time and your client work well
  • Comfort with AI tools as part of your daily workflow (not just a buzzword - you actually use them)

Preferred

  • Direct experience working with nonprofits, NGOs, or social impact organizations
  • Familiarity with Google Ad Grants and how search ads intersect with SEO strategy
  • Experience with structured data and schema markup for AI discoverability
