About the role

This is the deep end of search. Crawl budget, indexing, rendering, Core Web Vitals, structured data, redirects and migrations, across every site the studio runs.

The difference between this role and an audit tool is what happens next. You do not hand over a list of 400 warnings. You work out which three problems are costing traffic, fix them, and prove the fix worked.

We keep this role open while it is unfilled, so there is no deadline to work to.

People in this role work on Seed Light's SEO projects.

Responsibilities

  • Run crawls and log analysis, and find what is really blocking indexing
  • Fix Core Web Vitals problems, and prove the improvement in field data
  • Write and validate structured data, and keep it honest
  • Plan site migrations and redirect maps so rankings survive them
  • Turn findings into tickets a developer can act on without asking questions

Requirements

  • You can read HTML, JavaScript and a server response header
  • You know how rendering affects what Google indexes
  • You have recovered a site after a migration went wrong, or prevented one
  • You can prioritise: three fixes that matter, not a list of everything
  • You test a fix rather than assuming it landed

Nice to have

  • You have worked with log files at scale
  • You have run a JavaScript-heavy site through an indexing problem
  • You write scripts to check things repeatedly instead of by hand

Tools

Screaming Frog, Search Console, PageSpeed Insights, Chrome DevTools, Ahrefs, Python or JavaScript. The licences and subscriptions the job needs are paid for, and knowing every one of these already is not expected.

Your first three months

  • Month 1. A full technical audit of three client sites, ending in a prioritised list per site.
  • Month 2. You ship the fixes on those sites and measure what moved.
  • Month 3. You set the technical standard every new build is checked against before launch.

Questions about this role

Questions candidates usually ask before applying. If yours is not here, add it to the message box on the form.

The technical SEO specialist needs enough coding knowledge to read a problem, diagnose it and describe the fix as a specific instruction. Being able to make the change directly in WordPress or a Next.js repository is an advantage, but the core requirement is making the required work clear.

The role covers audits and implementation, with the greater emphasis on implementation. An audit has no value when nobody acts on it, so the work is judged by what was actually fixed rather than by the audit alone.

You would work across the client website portfolio. The role covers technical and on-page search work across sites rather than managing one advertising account.

The role includes both shipping small fixes and writing clear tickets for larger changes. You can work directly in the WordPress estate and the Next.js repository. A ticket must name the problem, affected pages and the expected result.

The evidence showing what is costing traffic decides which technical SEO issue is worth fixing first. A red score from a tool is not enough on its own, so review the affected pages, the available search evidence and the current setup before choosing the priority.

The technical SEO role has no on-call rota. Planned migrations are the exception, with somebody watching the first days after a cutover while ranking damage can still be reversed. That monitoring is arranged around the migration rather than treated as a standing on-call duty.
