Our commitment to innovation and inclusivity ensures that we meet the needs of our members and their caregivers every step of the way. 

Your Role: 

As an SEO Growth Strategist, you will: 

• Develop and execute comprehensive on-site and off-site SEO strategies to drive organic traffic, improve rankings, and generate qualified leads. 
• Conduct ongoing competitor and market research to identify gaps, benchmark performance, and uncover growth opportunities. 
• Define and implement a future-proof SEO strategy aligned with emerging AI search interfaces, zero-click environments, and modular content structures. 
• Perform regular SEO audits to ensure optimal site health, crawlability, indexation, Core Web Vitals, and technical performance. 
• Lead the SEO transition from PHP to WordPress, including URL preservation, redirect mapping, schema markup, and page speed optimization. 
• Collaborate with developers and designers to embed SEO best practices into architecture, templates, navigation, and UX systems. 
• Optimize website structure, metadata, internal linking, and content hierarchy for improved visibility and search engine accessibility. 
• Develop and implement strategies to enhance local search presence, including Google Business Profiles, local citations, and location-specific keywords. 
• Build a content architecture optimized for both traditional and AI search—chunked content, semantic tagging, and structured data for generative model retrieval. 
• Monitor and report on SEO KPIs, including both traditional (traffic, rankings, CTR) and AI-native metrics (chunk retrieval, embedding relevance, citation frequency). 
• Identify and close content gaps across all funnel stages with keyword-rich, intent-aligned assets—transactional, informational, and navigational. 
• Optimize long-form, video, and modular content for featured snippets, YouTube SEO, FAQ schema, and AI-indexing compatibility. 
• Create and manage a white-hat backlink strategy focused on relevance, topical authority, and domain trustworthiness. 
• Secure placements through guest posting, third-party content syndication, and citation inclusion while monitoring toxic backlinks. 
• Implement and analyze A/B tests for on-page SEO elements to continuously refine strategy based on performance. 
• Educate internal teams and stakeholders on SEO and AI-search principles to build a culture of awareness and collaboration. 
• Track and report performance via GA4, GSC, SEMrush, and other platforms, aligning SEO data with business outcomes and user behavior. 
• Implement governance processes for content updates, internal linking, accessibility (WCAG), and technical hygiene. 
• Stay current on SEO trends, algorithm updates, and AI-search innovations to keep strategies competitive and forward-looking. 
• Work cross-functionally with UX and design teams to ensure SEO contributes to site usability, conversion performance, and editorial flexibility. 

What You’ll Need to Succeed: 

• At least 5 years of SEO experience, including on-site and off-site SEO, technical SEO, and content management. 
• Proven expertise in using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) for tracking and reporting SEO performance. 
• Proficiency in WordPress; experience with Shopify is a strong plus. 
• Previous experience in the healthcare industry is a bonus. 
• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable insights. 
• Familiarity with tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, Moz, or similar platforms. 
• Excellent communication skills to work effectively with internal teams and external partners. 
• A solution-oriented mindset with a passion for continuous learning and professional growth. 

What's In It For You: 

• A pivotal role in a fast-growing company with a meaningful mission. 
• Flexibility to work remotely (Hybrid role if in Philadelphia, PA). 
• A collaborative team environment where your ideas and contributions are recognized. 
• Opportunities for continuous learning, professional growth, and career advancement. 

Medical Guardian has an award-winning culture, recognized as a “Top Workplace” by the Philadelphia Media Network, “Best Places to Work” by the Philadelphia Business Journal, and ranked among the Inc. 5000 for ten consecutive years.
