Role overview

What does an SEO Specialist do?

Organic search is the most sustainable growth channel—and the companies investing in SEO now are building competitive moats that paid ads can't touch. Marco's SEO Specialists handle the full spectrum of search engine optimization: technical audits, keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, and content strategy. They drive rankings improvements that deliver compounding traffic and revenue growth.

What does a remote SEO specialist do? They conduct technical SEO audits (site speed, crawlability, Core Web Vitals), perform keyword research using Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Moz, optimize on-page elements (titles, headers, internal links, schema markup), execute link building campaigns, create content briefs for SEO-driven content, and track rankings and organic traffic in Google Search Console and GA4. A remote SEO specialist costs $1,200–$1,700/month through Marco compared to $6,000+/month for a U.S.-based SEO professional.

Frequently Asked Questions

An SEO Specialist improves your website's organic search visibility through keyword research, on-page optimization, technical SEO audits, link building, and content strategy. They typically work with HubSpot, Google Analytics, SEMrush, Canva, Mailchimp, and social media management platforms, and are responsible for delivering measurable results that directly impact your business goals.
In the U.S., an SEO Specialist typically costs $5,500/month. Through Marco, you can hire an SEO Specialist from Latin America for $1,500/month, the Philippines for $1,000/month, or South Africa for $1,300/month — saving up to 82% while getting the same quality of work.
An SEO Specialist should have strong proficiency in keyword research (Ahrefs, SEMrush), on-page optimization, technical SEO, link building, content strategy, and Google Search Console. The ability to balance quick wins with long-term organic growth strategy is key. Marco's vetting process tests for these skills plus English fluency, communication ability, and remote work readiness before matching candidates to your team.
Hiring a remote SEO Specialist through Marco lets you scale your marketing output with specialists who stay current on platform algorithms and best practices, without the $80K+ US salary commitment. Remote SEO Specialists also offer scheduling flexibility — many work US hours — and Marco handles vetting, onboarding, and ongoing support so you can focus on results, not recruitment.
Marco matches you with a pre-vetted SEO Specialist in as little as one week. Share your role requirements, review curated candidate profiles, conduct interviews with your top picks, and onboard your new hire — all with Marco's support. Every candidate is screened for technical skills, English proficiency, and cultural fit before you ever see their profile.
