We are a tight-knit team that takes pride in doing the work right and championing the results. We move fast, stay curious, and care deeply about the clients we serve.

Three29 core values: Operate With Mutual Respect. Assume the Best, Deliver Your Best. Don't Just Do the Work, Champion It. Reliability Is Our Superpower. Stay Curious, Stay Adaptable.

The Opportunity

This is not a checklist job where the same tasks are done every day. We are growing the GEO and SEO practice at Three29, and we are looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, asking good questions, and continuously improving how we work. You will collaborate closely with our GEO Lead to execute strategy, contribute new ideas, and refine our approach across traditional and technical SEO, AI search visibility, organic content strategy, user journey optimization, and overall organic growth. If it impacts a client's organic visibility, you'll likely be involved.

What You'll Do

• Execute and refine SEO strategies across a portfolio of client accounts, spanning technical, local, on-page, and content optimization initiatives.
• Implement and improve GEO strategies that increase client visibility across AI-generated search experiences
• Conduct technical site audits and competitor analyses, translating findings into clear, prioritized recommendations
• Optimize user journeys by improving site structure, content organization, and page experiences that support both search visibility and conversions
• Work confidently in WordPress to implement content, structural, and GEO/SEO improvements without hand-holding
• Use RankMath, SEMrush, Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and other tools to monitor performance, uncover opportunities, and communicate insights
• Collaborate closely with the GEO Lead, designers, developers, and content team to deliver high-quality client strategies and web projects
• Execute off-site SEO and GEO initiatives, including digital PR, third-party profiles, entity optimization, local listings, and other authority-building strategies that improve client visibility
• Stay ahead of search algorithm updates, AI search developments, and emerging best practices, bringing new ideas and recommendations back to the team

What We're Looking For

We care far more about how you think than where you went to school or what your resume looks like on paper. Here is what we are actually screening for:

Core Requirements

• 2+ years of hands-on SEO experience in an agency or in-house environment
• Demonstrated ability to actually move rankings. Be ready to show us something you have ranked.
• Solid working knowledge of Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and SEMrush
• Comfortable in WordPress. You should be able to go into a live site and make changes without breaking a sweat.
• Comfortable using AI tools to accelerate research, ideation, and content workflows while exercising independent judgment. You know when to use AI, when not to, and how to verify its output.
• Strong critical thinking and problem-solving skills. This is the thing we will test for in the interview.
• Self-directed. You manage your own work, ask good questions, and do not wait to be told what to do next.
• Strong writing and editing skills. You don't have to be a professional copywriter, but you should be comfortable improving content for users and search rather than simply inserting keywords.
• Adaptable. You are comfortable working across SEO, GEO, content strategy, third-party platforms, and user experience. You are not siloed into a single discipline.
• U.S.-based and eligible to work in the United States

Bonus Points

• Experience with GEO, AI Overviews, LLM visibility, or structured data for AI search
• Familiarity with tools like Rank Math Pro
• Experience with digital PR, link building, or off-site strategy
• Basic HTML/CSS comfort

• A good eye for UX and how page design affects engagement
• You have built and ranked your own website

Who Thrives Here

Three29 has a specific culture, and fit matters. The people who do well here are pragmatic and systematic in their approach, but creative and resourceful when the situation calls for it. They do not try to game things. They follow the book and get clever within it. They communicate well, enjoy remote work, expect nothing but the best from themselves and others and can hold a real conversation with clients and teammates. They are excited by what is happening in AI and search and see this moment as an opportunity, not a threat.

Interview Process

We keep it straightforward. You will start with a brief screening call with our founder. If that goes well, you will come back for a second round with our GEO lead and one or two other team members. We will give you a few short critical thinking exercises, nothing overwhelming, just something to see how you approach a problem. We want to know how you think, not just what you know.

Compensation & Benefits

• Salary up to $70,000 depending on experience
• Fully remote, U.S.-based
• Flexible schedule
• Health & Dental Insurance available
• 401k with Matching
• Flexible schedule with two weeks PTO to start
• A small team that actually cares about doing good work

Three29 does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other protected status. We are an equal opportunity employer.
