This role moves beyond traditional execution to focus on Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), AI-driven content scaling, and revenue-aligned advertising.

• Advanced Organic SEO: Proven mastery of technical and on-page SEO for large-scale websites (100+ pages). Deep proficiency with auditing tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, and Screaming Frog.
• Technical SEO & Core Web Vitals: Ability to diagnose and fix crawling/indexing issues, optimize site speed, and ensure mobile-friendliness—critical factors for ranking in competitive storage markets.
• E-E-A-T Compliance: Understanding of Google's "Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness" guidelines and how to apply them to YMYL (Your Money Your Life) sectors like real estate/storage.
• AI & Generative Engine Optimization (GEO): Deep understanding of how Large Language Models (LLMs) retrieve information. Ability to optimize brand "entities" so AI tools accurately recommend the self-storage portfolios we manage.
• AI Tool Proficiency: Advanced use of Generative AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, Jasper) to scale content creation, ad copy, and image generation for 100+ unique locations.
• Multi-Location Local SEO: Proven experience managing Google Business Profiles (GBP), Apple Maps, and Bing Places for multi-location brands. Understanding of "proximity" ranking factors.
• Data & Revenue Fluency: Ability to correlate marketing spend with occupancy rates and revenue per available square foot. Experience with visualization tools (Tableau, PowerBI, or advanced Excel) is a plus.
• Content Management Systems: Experience updating and managing content at scale across the WordPress platform.
• Automation Mindset: A strong desire to automate repetitive tasks using tools like Zapier, Make, or Python scripts to streamline reporting and review management.

Responsibilities

Organic Search Strategy (SEO)

• Technical Site Architecture: manage the SEO health of the facility website hierarchy, ensuring logical URL structures and internal linking strategies that pass "link equity" from the homepage to individual location pages.
• Keyword Dominance: Execute high-intent keyword strategies (e.g., "climate controlled storage [city]") targeting transactional search terms that drive immediate rentals.
• Backlink Acquisition: Develop "white hat" link-building campaigns to increase Domain Authority. Secure links from local chambers of commerce, real estate partners, and university housing pages to boost local organic signals.
• Content Gap Analysis: Regularly audit competitor content to identify missing topics or keywords and deploy new pages to capture that traffic.

Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) & Brand Authority

• Optimize for AI Search: Audit and optimize how our brand appears in AI-generated answers (ChatGPT, Gemini, SearchGPT). Ensure our facilities are cited as "top rated" and "safe" by these models.
• Entity Management: Manage the "Knowledge Graph" of our brand. Ensure structured data (Schema markup) is accurate across all facility pages so bots understand our specific amenities (e.g., "climate controlled," "24/7 access").
• Citation Authority: Build high-quality digital citations that serve as "training data" for LLMs to build trust in our brand.

Local SEO & Reputation Management

• Map Pack Dominance: Own the strategy to rank in the "Local 3-Pack" for high-intent keywords (e.g., "storage near me") across all 100 locations.
• Automated Review Strategy: Implement automated workflows (via Birdeye/Podium) to generate 5-star reviews and use AI to draft personalized, keyword-rich responses to customer feedback at scale.
• NAP Consistency: Ensure Name, Address, and Phone number consistency across the entire data ecosystem to prevent ranking drops.

Content Scaling & Video Strategy

• AI Content Production: Use AI tools to generate unique, localized descriptions for facility pages and blog posts, ensuring no duplicate content penalties while producing high volume.
• Video-First Social: Pivot social strategy from static posts to short-form video (Reels, Shorts). Create scalable video templates that showcase facility security and cleanliness.

Performance Marketing & Revenue Alignment

• Dynamic Ad Spend: Manage Google Ads and paid social campaigns, dynamically shifting budget toward facilities with high vacancy or specific unit availability (aligning with Revenue Management goals).
• Full-Funnel Reporting: Develop KPI reports that track "Cost Per Move-In" and "Lifetime Value" rather than just clicks or impressions.

Technical & Ad Hoc

• First-Party Data Strategy: Manage customer lists for retargeting and lookalike audiences, reducing reliance on third-party cookies.
• Purchase and set up dynamic phone numbers (Call Tracking) to attribute phone leads to specific marketing channels.
• Stay ahead of digital trends, specifically testing new AI advertising channels and voice search optimizations.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary based on experience
• Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance
• 401(k) plan with company match

Work Authorization:

• Must be authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis
