You can run audits across on-page, content, internal linking, and local SEO, but the work that comes most naturally to you is the technical layer: crawl behavior, indexation, HTML structure, schema, and site architecture.You work independently. When a ranking drops, an indexation issue surfaces, or a site behaves in a way no one can explain, you investigate it, find the root cause, and put together a fix. You read source code when you need to. You inspect crawl data and check rendered output. You do not need a checklist to know where to start.You are also fluent with modern AI tools. You use them every day, and you build workflows, prompts, and custom skills that other people on the team can run. You know where AI accelerates the work and where it produces output that is not usable.You can execute, review other people's work, and mentor SEO Specialists. This role is technical and operational. Strategy is owned by the Director of SEO.If you want to do strong, well-rounded SEO with technical depth and AI fluency at the center of it, this is a fit.POSITION SUMMARYThe Associate SEO Lead is the senior execution and quality role on the Rocket Clicks SEO team.Reporting to the Director of SEO, this role is responsible for SEO execution across all assigned client accounts, with particular ownership of technical SEO, crawl and indexation analysis, HTML and site structure review, AI workflow development, quality control of deliverables, and direct mentorship of SEO Specialists.This is a step above the SEO Specialist role.
