  • Deep understanding of the criteria for selecting, analyzing, and testing third-party donor platforms, including Web 2.0, media, paid, and partner subdomains/directories
  • Ability to work with high-volume, highly competitive search queries where standard on-site SEO is not sufficient

• Tools & AI: Confident use of Ahrefs, Semrush, Screaming Frog, GA4, GSC, BI systems, and practical implementation of AI tools into SEO processes

Nice to Have

• Strong focus on financial results, including FTD and ROI, rather than position-based metrics alone
• An existing network of proven platforms/partners for Parasite SEO
• Strong leadership skills, including transparent delegation, the ability to develop specialists, and the ability to quickly adapt strategy to algorithm changes

We Offer
