The Role

You'll be responsible for:

Content planning aligned to SEO objectives

• Translate the agreed SEO strategy into 90-day content plans per site with prioritised topic clusters and formats (service/product pages, blogs, landing pages).
• Create search-led content briefs (primary/secondary keywords, outline/H-structure, internal links, schema notes, Surfer SEO targets) and own quality assurance on all drafts before they go live.
• Write or co-write core assets where needed; refresh legacy content to match intent and on-page best practice.

On-page execution & site hygiene

• Implement on-page improvements (titles/meta, H1–H3, internal links, images/alt, anchor strategy, basic speed fixes) and routinely update service/product pages.
• Loop in the freelance technical SEO for targeted fixes; on-page hygiene checks are periodic, not your main time sink.

Stakeholder management

• Partner with the strategist and work hand-in-glove with the AM to keep plans realistic and moving.
• Brief, guide and QA content from client-side teams; give clear, kind feedback so they deliver the right work to spec and on time.
• Be ready to join client calls when needed and write polite, concise client emails and clear Google-Doc mark-ups.

Monitoring & insight (interpret, don't build)

• Interpret performance using SE Ranking (primary tracker run by the AM) plus Google Search Console and SEMrush/Ahrefs for diagnostics. Identify trends, diagnose page/topic issues, and recommend next actions. You do not create or own reporting.

Lead-generation alignment

• Ensure content ladders to each site's north-star conversion (e.g., brochure requests, calculator completions). Propose practical ways to turn traffic into enquiries (CTAs, internal links to high-intent pages, supporting copy on key pages).

The Person

• Strong
  on-page SEO craft
  : turn strategy into briefs, shape outlines, QA drafts, and perform hands-on page updates that rank.
• Confident with
  client-side contributors
  — excellent people skills, clear written feedback, steady follow-through.
• Tools:
  SE Ranking (interpretation), Google Search Console, SEMrush (audits); Ahrefs optional; Surfer SEO for content scoring.
• WordPress publishing
  fluency (edits, redirects, media, internal links).
• Able to
  connect SEO work to lead-gen outcomes
  for B2B accounts; B2C experience equally fine.

Salary Range: R35,000 - R38,000 per month for 4 days per week

Through Marketing Pros, the successful candidate will have access to a shared workspace in Cape Town, a Slack group with other South Africa-based marketing professionals, and regular social and training events.
