Search Engine Optimization Specialist

Local SEO and AI Operations Specialist (Part-Time, Remote, 1099)
I run Oak & Algorithm, a real estate and mortgage marketing firm that gets agents and loan officers found on Google and in AI search. 15 of my last 17 clients found me that way, which tells you the system works.
I'm not looking for a strategist. I have the strategy, the audits, and a full AI operating system built in Claude: projects, skills, prompt libraries, and checklists. I need someone sharp enough to step into that system, understand how it's meant to work, and run it at its highest level. If you're the person who reads a system once and then makes it work better than the instructions promised, keep reading.
What you'll do
Run my Claude workspace day to day: use my projects, skills and prompts to produce audits, posts, articles and reports at the standard I set
Work through Google Business Profile corrections and optimizations from my written checklists
Clean up business listings across directories and portals (name, address, phone, licensing numbers)
Schedule approved Google Business Profile posts
Publish approved blog posts and answer pages to client sites and to mine
Pull data and screenshots for monthly client reports
Run monthly SEO, AEO and GEO visibility checks from my checklists
What you won't do
Talk to clients, set strategy, or publish anything I haven't approved. I review every piece of work before it goes live.
Qualifications
Required
2+ years of hands-on Google Business Profile work: optimization, category and service setup, verification, and suspended or duplicate profile reinstatement
2+ years of local citation and directory cleanup (name, address, phone consistency across directories and portals)
Daily use of Claude or ChatGPT for real work, with prompts you can show me
Ability to learn an existing AI operating system (projects, skills, prompt libraries) and run it without a walkthrough
Strong prompt writing: you get specific, usable output, and you fix the prompt when the output is weak
Working knowledge of on-page SEO: title tags, meta descriptions, headers, internal links, schema basics
Comfortable publishing in website CMS platforms such as Squarespace, WordPress or Wix
Precise checklist execution, with the judgment to flag what doesn't match instead of guessing
Clear written communication and a one-business-day response time on weekdays
Preferred
Real estate or mortgage marketing experience
Familiarity with NMLS records and mortgage advertising compliance
Experience with AEO and GEO (getting cited in AI answers, not just ranked on Google)
Google Search Console and Google Analytics 4 reporting
HubSpot experience
