SEO and GEO Consultant

We're hiring an SEO / GEO Consultant at Marketing Signals. The brief is simple. Own the client, and do the work.

Most agencies split this into two jobs. An account manager who talks to the client and a technical person who never does. We want one person who can run the quarterly review in the morning and be in the crawl export by lunchtime.

What you'll actually be doing:

• Running a portfolio of retained SEO and GEO clients end to end
• Technical audits, and seeing the fixes through with dev teams
• GEO audits across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity and Google AI Mode
• Link building and Digital PR campaigns
• Content briefs a writer can execute without a second conversation

The bit that matters most: this is a Claude native role. Projects, Skills, Claude Code, MCP. Not "we use AI for first drafts". You'll be building the workflows that let one consultant do what used to take three people.

The deal:

• 4 day week, 32 hours
• 100% remote, UK core hours
• £36k to £45k basic plus bonus
• Paid Claude subscription, training budget, home office budget
• Christmas shutdown and your birthday off

We've been doing search since 2007. GEO is now the fastest growing thing we sell, and I build our own products in Claude Code, so AI here is how the work gets done, not a slide in a deck.

To apply, send your CV plus one thing you're proud of. An audit, a campaign result, a brief, a Claude workflow. One real piece of work beats a long cover letter.

Posted by: Gareth Hoyle, Managing Director

Location: Fully remote (UK core hours)
Hours: Four-day week, 32 hours
Reporting to: Head of Operations
Salary: £36,000 – £45,000 basic depending on experience, plus performance-related bonus
Start date: Immediate

Own the client. Do the work.

Marketing Signals has spent nearly two decades helping ambitious brands win on Google. Today we do the same across AI search, SEO, Paid Media and Digital PR, and GEO (generative engine optimisation) is now the fastest growing part of what we sell.

We are looking for an SEO / GEO Consultant who can sit in front of a client, explain what is happening and why, and then go and fix it themselves. Not an account manager who hands work to a delivery team. Not a technical specialist who hides from the client call. Both.

You will run a small portfolio of retained clients end to end: the strategy, the relationship, the technical audits, the link building, the content briefs, and the reporting that shows it worked.

What you will do

Client ownership

• Be the day-to-day lead for a portfolio of retained SEO and GEO clients
• Run monthly and quarterly reviews, present results and set the next 90 days of priorities
• Translate technical findings into commercial recommendations a marketing director will act on
• Spot upsell and renewal opportunities and bring them to the commercial team
• Support new business pitches with audits, opportunity sizing and proposals

Hands-on delivery

• Run technical SEO audits (crawl, indexation, site architecture, Core Web Vitals, structured data, internal linking) and see the fixes through with client dev teams
• Run GEO audits: how a brand shows up in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, and what to change to improve it
• Plan and run link building and Digital PR campaigns, working with our outreach team and offshore resource
• Write content briefs that a writer can execute without a second conversation, covering search intent, entity coverage, structure and citation-worthiness for LLMs
• Build and maintain reporting in Looker Studio or similar, pulling from GSC, GA4 and our AI visibility tooling

Claude native ways of working

• Use Claude (Projects, Skills, Claude Code, MCP) as a daily working tool for audits, analysis, brief writing, reporting and client comms
• Build and improve the agentic workflows that let one consultant deliver what used to take three people
• Contribute to our internal Skills and playbooks so the whole team gets faster

What success looks like

Your success is measured on outcomes, not hours logged:

• Client retention across your portfolio
• Organic revenue or lead growth for each client against agreed targets
• AI visibility improvement (share of voice across the major LLMs)
• Audit recommendations actually implemented, not just delivered
• Links and coverage secured against campaign targets
• Portfolio growth through upsell and referral

What we are looking for

You will probably have most of the following:

• 3+ years in SEO, at least some of it agency side, with your own client relationships
• Proven technical SEO ability: you have run audits yourself and can defend the findings to a developer
• Working knowledge of GEO and LLM visibility, or a demonstrable appetite to get there fast
• Experience planning link building or Digital PR campaigns and measuring what they delivered
• Content briefing experience, ideally with published results you can point to
• Confident with GSC, GA4, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs and Semrush
• Daily use of Claude, ChatGPT or similar in your current role, beyond drafting emails
• Clear written and spoken English, comfortable presenting to senior clients

Bonus points for any of: PPC or integrated search experience, basic HTML/JS and schema markup, Python or JavaScript scripting, experience with Claude Code or building custom Skills.

About you

You will thrive here if you:

• Would rather fix a problem than write a slide about it
• Are equally comfortable on a client call and in a crawl export
• Treat AI tooling as a lever, not a threat
• Take ownership without waiting to be told
• Care about revenue for the client, not vanity metrics
• Want autonomy and the accountability that comes with it

Why join Marketing Signals?

You will join an established, award-winning agency with big brand clients, a real GEO proposition and a Managing Director who builds products with Claude Code himself. AI is not something we talk about in a strategy deck. It is how the work gets done.

• Four-day working week (32 hours)
• 100% remote working
• Flexible working hours around UK core hours
• Paid Claude subscription
• Dedicated training and development budget
• Powerful hardware and software to enable you to thrive
• Home office budget for a quality desk and chair
• Generous annual leave, including Christmas shutdown and your birthday off
• Company pension
• Opportunity to attend and speak at industry conferences (if you want)
• A genuinely supportive, no-politics culture where good ideas win

How to apply

Send your CV plus one thing you have done that you are proud of: an audit, a campaign result, a content brief, a Claude workflow you built. We would rather see one real piece of work than a long cover letter.
