Monthly SEO Report

About this task

This Series C online learning platform for professional exams (201–500 employees) is looking for a manager SEO Specialist for an ongoing part-time engagement of 1–2 h a week. Traffic, rankings and actions with commentary.

The company wants a senior person on this without carrying the cost of a full-time role. It works in education, with a calendar built around terms and enrolment peaks.

The work is fully remote, but the company can only contract people who live in California, so this one is for residents there. Most people do this on weekday evenings; replies inside the working day are not expected. About 1 hour a week should overlap with the team's day (PT).

What you deliver

• Produce the monthly organic report with wins, losses and next-month priorities.
• Questions collected in one thread, answered within one working day
• A written update every Wednesday with what was done, what is next and anything blocked
• A short handover note when the engagement pauses or ends

What a week looks like

• Thursday: pick up the queue and confirm priorities
• Midweek: two short working sessions of one to two hours
• Wednesday: update sent before the company's end of day

Duration: 16 weeks, renewable. Accepted when the output matches the agreed checklist and the sample check passes; the recruiter confirms by e-mail.
