SEO Content & Technical Specialist

Job Title: SEO Content & Technical Specialist (Full-Time, Long-Term)

Type: Full-time · 40 hours/week

Salary: USD $1,700 – $2,000/month

ID Proof required: Yes

ABOUT US

Integrity Home Exteriors is a family-owned home improvement company in Toledo, Ohio, USA. We have been in business since 2000, we have 80+ team members, and we won the 2025 Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics. We install roofing, siding, windows, doors, gutters and insulation for homeowners in northwest Ohio.

You'll work alongside an experienced SEO Manager who has been with our company for several years. This role works alongside him. We are looking for someone who wants a long-term home, not a short project.

THE ROLE

You will own the day-to-day execution of our SEO and content program. Our Marketing Director and SEO Manager set the strategy — which keywords, which topics, which cities. You do the work that makes it happen.

Content production and publishing

Write and publish 5 to 10 pieces per week, depending on page type — shorter service and product pages move quickly, while educational articles and cost guides for homeowners take longer

Work from our writing templates and brand voice standards (we will give you these)

Build and schedule finished content in HubSpot CMS

Submit each week’s batch for review before anything publishes

Technical SEO maintenance

Run standing weekly and monthly checks on our site: index coverage, broken links, 404s, titles and meta, canonicals and slugs, internal links, schema, sitemap, robots.txt

Own problems through to fixed. You are measured on how quickly issues are resolved, not on how quickly you report them. There is a defined set of changes you fix and publish yourself. Anything larger, you diagnose, prepare the fix, and hand off ready to go

Verify pages against expected results after any bulk change or template update. We run scripts that touch 100+ pages at once. Catching a bad push the same day it happens is one of the most valuable things you will do here

Log every issue with its severity and what caused it

Local presence

Monitor 3 Google Business Profiles daily — respond to reviews using our approved response standards, answer questions, report spam

Monthly posts and photos on all profiles

Maintain business listing and citation accuracy (NAP consistency, Bing Places, local directories)

AI visibility measurement

Run a fixed monthly test: ask the same 15 questions in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google, record whether we appear, capture dated screenshots, log the results exactly as found

Other

Some light marketing admin

Occasional outreach for local directory and roundup listings. This is the lowest priority in the role and it comes last, after everything above is done

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

We would rather tell you this up front than have you guess.

First 90 days — we are judging execution, not results. Is content shipping on schedule and passing review? Are the site checks running? Is anything broken and left broken?

Six months and beyond — more homeowners finding us through Google search than the same months last year. Better positions in the eight towns we care most about. More activity on our Google listings and a steady flow of new reviews.

The whole year — the number that matters most is how many leads come to us from organic Google search. It is our cheapest source of work, and growing it is the reason this role exists.

We do not judge this role on how many articles get published. Four excellent pieces beat fifteen average ones.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Required

3+ years hands-on SEO experience, including technical SEO — not just content writing, and not just keyword research

Excellent written English. You will be writing for American homeowners. Your writing must sound natural to them, not translated and not obviously AI-generated

Experience with Google Search Console, Google Business Profile, and at least one crawler (Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, Ahrefs, Semrush or similar)

Comfortable working inside a CMS and publishing live pages carefully

Detail-oriented and honest about your work. We verify everything, and we would much rather you tell us something went wrong than hide it

Reliable internet and your own computer

Hours are flexible, preferred hours are Tuesday through Saturday 8am EST to 5pm EST

Nice to have

HubSpot CMS experience

Experience writing for home services, construction, or another trade industry

Experience using AI writing tools well — meaning you use them and then fix what they get wrong, not paste and publish

Local SEO experience across multiple locations or service areas

Familiarity with schema markup

Not required

You do not need to be a strategist. We set direction.

You do not need to manage anyone.

You do not need US work experience.

HOW WE WORK

We want to be upfront about this, because it is not for everyone.

We use an internal daily task platform. You log your work daily and attach proof — a link, a file, a screenshot. A checkbox with nothing attached does not count as done.

Your work is reviewed weekly for quality by our SEO Manager before it publishes.

For your first 30 days you prepare work and we publish it. After that, you earn the ability to publish certain changes yourself.

We measure quality, not volume. Four excellent articles beat fifteen average ones, every time.

Asking a question or escalating something is never held against you. Guessing and pushing something live is. If close accountability bothers you, this is not the right job. If you have been burned by vague expectations before, you will probably like it here.

COMPENSATION AND SCHEDULE

USD $1,700 – $2,000/month depending on experience

Paid weekly, deposited every Friday via Wise

40 hours/week, Tuesday through Saturday, 8am EST to 5pm EST

40 hours of personal time off per year

Independent contractor arrangement — you are responsible for your own taxes and contributions

Annual review and renewal every April 30

HOW TO APPLY

Please do not send a generic application. We read every one, and generic applications are the fastest way to get skipped.

Put “GOLD STANDARD” in your subject line so we know you read the whole post.

In your message, answer these four things:

Send links to 2 pieces of content you personally wrote that rank. Tell us the keyword and roughly where it ranks.

Describe one technical SEO problem you found and fixed. What was broken, how did you find it, what did you do?

What tools do you use for SEO work, and how do you use AI in your writing process? Be specific and be honest.

What time of day are you usually available in US Eastern time?
