Who we are

Most businesses lack the time and expertise to build marketing that gets results. At Mountaintop Web Design, we craft digital marketing solutions so our clients can get more leads that turn into customers.

We founded Mountaintop Web Design because we were tired of seeing people wasting money on bad marketing. We do digital marketing the right way by providing top tier marketing services combined with amazing customer service, integrity, and an emphasis on bringing our clients a return on their investment.

Who you are

You're the person who reads Google's latest update before your morning coffee and already has a theory about what it means. You've been doing SEO long enough to know the fundamentals cold, and you're genuinely excited about what AI search is doing to the game. As our SEO & GEO Strategist, you won't just run checklists. You'll set the direction for how we win in both traditional search and AI answers, then turn that vision into real leads and revenue for our clients.

You are:

• A strategist at heart.
• You'd rather design the plan than just follow it, and you can explain the "why" behind every move.
• A natural leader.
• You like setting direction, improving processes and helping a team get better, not just yourself.
• Results-obsessed.
• Rankings are nice, but you care most about leads, sales and ROI.
• A great communicator.
• You can make a complex strategy click for a business owner in five minutes.
• Self-driven and organized.
• You juggle multiple clients without dropping the ball, and you don't need someone looking over your shoulder.
• Curious and quick to learn.
• When something new comes along, you dig in and figure it out.

What you'll own

• Set the strategy.
• Build advanced SEO and GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) strategies tailored to each client's goals, budget and timeline.
• Lead where we go next. Track Google algorithm shifts, AI search trends and industry news, then turn what you learn into how our whole SEO practice evolves.
• Outsmart the competition. Dig into competitors and industries to spot trends, best practices and openings others miss.
• Connect SEO to the bottom line. Understand each client's business priorities and translate them into strategies that bring in qualified leads and sales.
• Be the trusted expert. Report on traffic, rankings and conversion quality over email and in meetings, and give clients real confidence in where things are headed.
• Work as a team. Partner with your Account Manager and teammates across the company to balance scopes, workloads, budgets and priorities.
• Use the good tools. Screaming Frog, Search Console, DataforSEO, Ahrefs and more custom internal tools are part of your daily kit for building and measuring what works.

Requirements

• 7+ years of hands-on SEO experience, including local search and Google Business Profile
• Deep knowledge of how search engines and LLMs work and what drives rankings and AI visibility
• Fluency with Ahrefs, SEMRush, BrightLocal, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Screaming Frog and similar tools

• The ability to learn fast, work independently and get along with everyone from interns to execs
• An associate's degree in a related field

• Project management experience
• Relevant certifications

Benefits Why you'll like it here

• Pay: $30-36 per hour, depending on experience
• Work from anywhere in the US: fully remote, full time
• Flexible hours: Monday through Friday, on your schedule within regular US business hours
• Real influence: a growing company where your ideas shape how we do SEO, not just how you do your tasks
• Values we actually live by: Integrity, Excellence, Customer Centered, and ROI for clients.

If those sound like yours too, we'll get along great.
