Senior SEO & GEO Strategist

Client-Facing

Reports to: Director of SEO & GEO (GTU)
Department: Digital Acquisition / Search
Location: Pontiac, MI

About GTU

GTU is a performance-driven digital marketing agency focused on multi-location, franchise, and enterprise SEO. Our work sits at the intersection of local search, national visibility, advanced analytics, and AI-driven discovery (GEO).

We work with brands where scale, precision, and accountability matter.

Why This Role Exists

GTU is hiring a Senior SEO & GEO Strategist to serve as a client-facing search authority who can independently run SEO and GEO engagements while reporting directly to the Director of SEO & GEO.

This role is designed to enable the Director in most day-to-day client interactions, while maintaining clear strategic oversight, task execution, and escalation paths.

What You’ll Own

Client Leadership & Communication

  • Lead SEO & GEO strategy for assigned multi-location and enterprise clients
  • Run recurring client meetings independently
  • Present SEO roadmaps, GEO initiatives, and prioritization clearly
  • Handle client questions, pushback, and expectation management
  • Escalate only when strategic direction or risk requires it

SEO & GEO Strategy Execution

  • Translate SEO and GEO strategy into actionable roadmaps
  • Own execution across:
    • Technical SEO
    • Content & location-page strategy
    • Local SEO & GBP optimization
    • Entity authority and AI citation readiness
  • Apply GEO principles pragmatically — systems over experiments

Internal Coordination

  • Coordinate with PMs, content, dev, and analytics teams
  • Ensure delivery aligns with strategy and scope
  • Make prioritization decisions when capacity or timelines shift
  • Maintain delivery quality without micromanagement

Standards & Quality Control

  • Enforce GTU SEO and GEO best practices
  • Maintain consistency across location-level SEO programs
  • Contribute to evolving GTU’s SEO/GEO frameworks

What Success Looks Like

  • Clients treat you as their primary SEO authority
  • SEO/GEO calls run without Director involvement
  • Work ships cleanly with minimal rework
  • The Director of SEO & GEO is looped in only for:
    • Strategic pivots
    • Pattern-level issues
    • Framework evolution

Tools & Environment

  • GA4, GSC, Looker Studio, BigQuery, ChatGPT, Gemini
  • WhiteSpark, Local Falcon, DataForSEO, SERP APIs, Python,
  • Internal dashboards and analytics pipelines
  • AI tools for research, synthesis, and reporting

Why This Role Matters

This is not a support role. It is a senior execution and communication role that directly impacts client trust, delivery quality, and GTU’s ability to scale search services.
