• Identify issues and translate findings into clear, actionable recommendations for web implementation teams. Analyze server logs and crawl data to diagnose indexation, rendering, and crawl issues.
• Collaborate with developers to implement QA and validate SEO fixes.
• Manage and optimize advanced structured data (e.g., FAQ, How-to, Article, Medical/Organization where relevant) and Schema markup to support rich results and AI interpretation.
• Evaluate internal linking and information architecture through an entity-first and topic-cluster lens.
• Monitor site health trends and proactively surface technical risks and opportunities that impact both rankings and AI answer inclusion.

AEO / LLM Optimization

• Implement AEO / GEO strategies to improve inclusion, accuracy, and attribution in AI-powered answer engines and LLM-driven search results.
• Optimize content for discoverability and accuracy within AI‑powered answer engines and LLM‑driven search results.
• Apply best practices for schema, structured content, FAQs, summaries, semantic structure and authoritative signals.
• Audit how AI platforms (e.g., generative search experiences, AI assistants) retrieve, summarize, and attribute site content, and translate findings into optimization actions.
• Stay informed on evolving AEO, generative search, and AI content interpretation trends.
• Help define and iterate internal AEO/GEO standards, playbooks, QA criteria and optimization standards.

On‑Page SEO (Hands‑On Execution)

• Lead page‑level SEO optimization efforts across templates and individual pages.
• Ensure pages are optimized for both ranking performance and answer extraction by AI systems.
• Conduct keyword research and search intent analysis to inform content optimization.
• Optimize titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, and content structure.
• Partner with content teams to guide SEO‑driven edits, refreshes, and new fabulous, content creation.
• Ensure pages are optimized for both ranking performance and answer‑readiness.

Analytics & Reporting

• Analyze organic search performance using Adobe Analytics, Google Search Console, and third‑party SEO tools.
• Track rankings, traffic quality, engagement, and conversion impact from AEO and SEO efforts.
• Build clear, actionable reports and dashboards for stakeholders.
• Translate data into optimization insights and prioritize work based on performance impact.
• Support experimentation and measurement of SEO and AEO initiatives over time.

Education Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Marketing, Communications, IT, or related fields
• 3–5 years of hands‑on SEO experience with demonstrated technical implementation and on‑page ownership.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with JavaScript SEO, CMS platforms, or large‑scale websites.
• Experience collaborating with engineering and content teams in agile environments.
• Understanding of content strategy, semantic SEO, and search intent modeling.
• Experience with Adobe Experience Manager, Adobe Analytics, and Conductor.
• Curiosity and adaptability in a rapidly changing search landscape.

• Experience implementing or supporting AEO / GEO strategies
• Proven experience using SEO and analytics tools (e.g., Google Search Console, GA4, Conductor, SEMrush, Moz, BrightEdge, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs).
