We’re looking for an experienced SEO link builder to work with us on an ongoing hourly basis.
This is not an SEO strategy role. We already know what we want to achieve. We need someone who is good at finding and building genuine, low-hanging-fruit backlinks that help strengthen the authority of our websites.
The work will involve researching opportunities such as:
- Reputable business directories
- High-authority web directories
- Relevant industry directories
- Social and business platforms
- Company/profile listings
- Local and regional citation opportunities
- Competitor backlink opportunities
- Other sensible, white-hat backlink opportunities you identify
We are not interested in spammy link building. No link farms, automated submissions, PBNs, junk directories, mass blog comments or anything likely to cause more harm than good.
All proposed websites must be added to a list and approved by us before you create the link.
Ideally, you will also have access to your own SEO tools such as Ahrefs, Semrush, Majestic or similar, and be comfortable using them to analyse competitor backlink profiles, identify gaps and uncover realistic opportunities we can pursue.
Once approved, we expect you to work efficiently and at scale. AI can be used to help create profile descriptions, business descriptions and other supporting content where appropriate, provided the finished work is accurate and of a good standard.
We will initially start with one website. If the quality of your work is good, there is potential to expand this across up to six websites, so this could become a substantial ongoing role.
Who we're looking for
- An individual freelancer, not an agency or team
- Good practical understanding of SEO and backlink quality
- Able to distinguish a worthwhile link from a spammy or worthless one
- Strong backlink research and competitor analysis skills
- Ideally has their own access to Ahrefs, Semrush or comparable SEO tools
- Comfortable working independently
- Fast and organised
- Able to maintain a clear spreadsheet of opportunities, approval status, completed links and live URLs
- Affordable hourly rate suitable for ongoing, high-volume work
When applying
Please include:
- Your hourly rate
- Your SEO/link-building experience
- Which backlink/SEO tools you currently have access to
- A few examples of the types of backlinks you would look for
Please do not send us an SEO package, monthly retainer proposal or generic backlink package. We are hiring an individual freelancer on an hourly basis to carry out a clearly defined link-building process.
