SEO/AEO Specialist for Marketing Consultancy

I'm looking for an experienced SEO/AEO specialist to work alongside me as a long-term partner for my marketing consultancy agency. We will first work on getting my website ranked and visible on AI models, and this will take 8 hours a month for now.

However, I'm looking for a potentially ongoing role and more hours as I scale and get more clients.

I already have Claude (AI) set up for keyword research and strategy through an MCP from DataforSEO. But I need someone who can validate the data.

I am a content writer, so all content will be done by me.

I need someone who can:
1. Help me with technical SEO
2. Help me with keyword research
3. Build and manage backlinks
4. Plan my SEO efforts each month - this is a SEO manager/specialist role, not a junior role

I'm looking for someone with:
- Solid hands-on SEO experience (please share results/case studies)
- Genuine understanding of AI SEO and AEO - you are updated
- Experience working with or alongside AI tools in your workflow
- Strong thinking skills, I want someone I can plan our keyword strategy with
- You keep up with AEO (Answer Engine Optimisation) best practices (including optimising for AI search tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews)

PLEASE DO NOT APPLY IF:
- You are an agency. I only want to work with a freelancer
- You cannot reply to messages within Perth time
- You do not work close to Perth time
- You do not want to work with AI for SEO
- You want to work for more than 8 hours per month

Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks!
