SEO Copywriter Contractor Role at Digital Marketing Agency — Remote

This contractor copywriter role at a digital marketing agency offers meaningful exposure across SEO, paid media, and email marketing content — a broad skillset increasingly valued in the market. Agency-side roles like this accelerate learning because you manage multiple clients across diverse industries simultaneously.

Compensation note: No rate is disclosed, which is a mild red flag for a contractor posting. Mid-level SEO copywriters in the US typically earn $35–$65/hour as contractors or $55,000–$75,000 annually as employees. Push for the higher end if you bring 3+ years of proven SEO writing experience.
