Technical SEO Specialist (Hands-On, Speed & Indexing) - Contract to Hire

🌍 Remote, USA 🎯 Full-time 🕐 Posted Recently

Job Description

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.
