SEO Content Specialist

Create and improve search-led content that matches intent and supports conversion, covering both traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) for AI-driven search and answer engines. Focus is content quality, structure, refresh cadence, on-page optimisation, and content performance, with consistent use of approved wording patterns, required risk language, and adherence to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) content standards.

Key responsibilities:

• Write and update high-intent SEO content (commercial pages, comparison pages, FAQs, education where it supports intent).

• Write content optimised for GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), structuring and phrasing content so it can be clearly understood, cited, and surfaced by AI-driven search and answer engines (e.g. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), alongside traditional SEO.

• Maintain a refresh plan: identify decay, update content, and improve coverage gaps.

• Conduct keyword research to identify content opportunities, search intent, and coverage gaps across markets, feeding findings into the content plan.

• Grow First Time Trader (FTT) volumes from generic, non-brand keyword terms through SEO content, reducing reliance on brand search and expanding acquisition from new audiences.

• Apply on-page best practice: headings, structure, internal linking updates, meta inputs, and content QA before publish.

• Localise (rather than directly translate) content for country-specific websites, adapting to local search intent and market nuances while avoiding content cannibalisation, duplication, and duplicate-content flags across the global site network.

• Manage and coordinate content across multiple global/country websites, maintaining consistency of structure, tone, and compliance while reflecting local relevance.

• Write and edit content in line with E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) principles, reflecting the standards required for financial content.

• Review content performance (rankings, organic traffic, engagement, conversion) and use insights to optimise existing content and improve rankings.

• Work within compliance constraints and use approved claims and risk language patterns.

Requirements

• Strong SEO writing and editing, with clear understanding of intent and SERP formats.

• Ability to follow content templates and create consistent, scannable structures.

• High attention to detail, accuracy, and deadline discipline.

• Comfortable with feedback loops and iteration based on performance data.

• Understanding of GEO principles and how content is surfaced and cited by AI/LLM-driven search and answer engines.

• Strong keyword research skills, using SEO tools to identify search intent, opportunity, and content gaps.

• Experience managing content across global/multi-country websites, with a good understanding of avoiding content cannibalisation and duplication.

• Good working knowledge of E-E-A-T and YMYL content requirements, ideally within a regulated or financial services environment.

• Performance-led approach; confident reviewing content performance data and optimising content to improve rankings.

• Experience with Storyblok CMS advantageous.

Performance Measures

• Content shipped and refreshed to plan, with on-time delivery and low rework rate.

• Improvement in performance of priority pages (rankings, traffic quality, engagement).

• Increase in FTTs sourced from generic/non-brand keyword terms, with a growing share of organic conversions coming from non-brand SEO content.

• Content quality maintained: fewer compliance revisions, fewer factual errors, consistent structure.

• Refresh cadence maintained with clear tracking of what changed and why.

• Improved visibility and citation of content within AI-driven search and answer engines (GEO performance).

• Successful localisation of content across country/language websites with no cannibalisation, duplication, or duplicate-content issues flagged.
