SEO Content Specialist

Job description

Create and improve search-led content that matches intent and supports conversion, covering both traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) for AI-driven search and answer engines. Focus is content quality, structure, refresh cadence, on-page optimisation, and content performance, with consistent use of approved wording patterns, required risk language, and adherence to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) content standards.

Key responsibilities:  - Write and update high-intent SEO content (commercial pages, comparison pages, FAQs, education where it supports intent).  - Write content optimised for GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), structuring and phrasing content so it can be clearly understood, cited, and surfaced by AI-driven search and answer engines (e.g. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), alongside traditional SEO.  - Maintain a refresh plan: identify decay, update content, and improve coverage gaps.  - Conduct keyword research to identify content opportunities, search intent, and coverage gaps across markets, feeding findings into the content plan.  - Grow First Time Trader (FTT) volumes from generic, non-brand keyword terms through SEO content, reducing reliance on brand search and expanding acquisition from new audiences.  - Apply on-page best practice: headings, structure, internal linking updates, meta inputs, and content QA before publish.  - Localise (rather than directly translate) content for country-specific websites, adapting to local search intent and market nuances while avoiding content cannibalisation, duplication, and duplicate-content flags across the global site network.  - Manage and coordinate content across multiple global/country websites, maintaining consistency of structure, tone, and compliance while reflecting local relevance.  - Write and edit content in line with E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) principles, reflecting the standards required for financial content.  - Review content performance (rankings, organic traffic, engagement, conversion) and use insights to optimise existing content and improve rankings.  - Work within compliance constraints and use approved claims and risk language patterns.

Requirements - Strong SEO writing and editing, with clear understanding of intent and SERP formats.  - Ability to follow content templates and create consistent, scannable structures.  - High attention to detail, accuracy, and deadline discipline.  - Comfortable with feedback loops and iteration based on performance data.  - Understanding of GEO principles and how content is surfaced and cited by AI/LLM-driven search and answer engines.  - Strong keyword research skills, using SEO tools to identify search intent, opportunity, and content gaps.  - Experience managing content across global/multi-country websites, with a good understanding of avoiding content cannibalisation and duplication.  - Good working knowledge of E-E-A-T and YMYL content requirements, ideally within a regulated or financial services environment.  - Performance-led approach; confident reviewing content performance data and optimising content to improve rankings.  - Experience with Storyblok CMS advantageous.

Performance Measures  - Content shipped and refreshed to plan, with on-time delivery and low rework rate.  - Improvement in performance of priority pages (rankings, traffic quality, engagement).  - Increase in FTTs sourced from generic/non-brand keyword terms, with a growing share of organic conversions coming from non-brand SEO content.  - Content quality maintained: fewer compliance revisions, fewer factual errors, consistent structure.  - Refresh cadence maintained with clear tracking of what changed and why.  - Improved visibility and citation of content within AI-driven search and answer engines (GEO performance).  - Successful localisation of content across country/language websites with no cannibalisation, duplication, or duplicate-content issues flagged.
