About the Role

We are seeking an experienced, hands-on SEO specialist to grow organic search traffic and revenue for an established e-commerce company (celebrating 36 years in business, featuring major stores PraiseBanners.com and ImpactBannersandSigns.com). We need a data-driven specialist who can diagnose traffic changes, prioritize high-impact work, and collaborate with our team to execute improvements—not someone who relies on generic blogs, automated reports, or low-quality backlink packages.

Schedule

• Flexible 4 hours per day during client's business hours (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM US Central Time, Nashville, TN), 20 hours per week 

Key Responsibilities

• Performance Analysis & Audits: Audit organic search performance, diagnose ranking/traffic declines, analyze queries, clicks, conversions, and traffic quality using GSC and GA4; monitor category/keyword shifts and competitor visibility.
• On-Page & Collection Optimization: Optimize Shopify collection, product, and informational pages for search intent, commercial value, headings, copy, metadata, internal linking, and content gaps based on customer behavior.
• Technical SEO & AI Search: Perform technical audits covering indexing, canonicals, redirects, duplicate content, crawlability, schema/structured data, Core Web Vitals, Shopify-specific issues, and Google AI search visibility.
• Authority & Linking Strategy: Develop internal-linking structures between products, collections, and guides; evaluate backlink profiles for legitimate authority-building opportunities.
• Data-Driven Reporting: Provide clear monthly reports detailing what changed, why it matters, actions taken, and a prioritized list of next steps; collaborate with the internal team to implement approved changes.

Required Experience

• E-Commerce & Shopify: Strong hands-on SEO experience with established e-commerce platforms and Shopify catalogs.
• Analytics & Search Tools: Advanced knowledge of Google Search Console and GA4; proficiency with tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, or Sitebulb.
• Technical & Intent Mastery: Strong technical SEO background (indexing, canonicals, schema, crawl management) and proven ability to optimize for commercial search intent that drives actual sales over vanity traffic.
• Communication: Excellent written English with the ability to explain technical insights clearly without jargon.

Success Criteria

• Clear understanding of organic traffic and ranking movements based on evidence.
• High commercial rankings for searches customers actually use, translating into sales.
• Technical SEO issues promptly identified and resolved.
• Small, prioritized lists of high-value actions instead of generic, low-value recommendations.

Application Instructions

Please submit a brief description of your Shopify SEO experience and 2–3 e-commerce case examples demonstrating:

1. An organic traffic/ranking decline you diagnosed and how you improved it.
2. The specific SEO tools used to improve those rankings or domain authority.
3. Your standard process for auditing e-commerce sites.

(Note: Generic proposals, automated reports, or mass AI content strategies will not be considered).
