SEO & Organic Growth – Outcome-Led / Performance-Incentivised
Hi, We’re looking for an experienced SEO / organic growth specialist to improve real search visibility and inbound enquiries for an established events and catering business operating across multiple UK locations. This is not a social media role and not paid social advertising. Those channels are already covered. This role is focused on: - Organic search visibility - Google search performance - High-intent service + location keywords - Commercial outcomes (leads, enquiries, bookings) If your work is primarily reports, dashboards, or “ongoing optimisation” without tangible results, this won’t be a fit. Scope of work You would be responsible for: - Keyword research focused on high-intent service and location searches - Defining a clear keyword set and baseline rankings - On-page SEO improvements (service pages, location pages, structure) - Technical SEO fixes (crawlability, internal linking, sitemap, errors) - Authority building / link acquisition (clean, legitimate methods only) - Supporting content only where it directly contributes to rankings - Tracking rankings, visibility, and lead impact We’re interested in movement, not noise. How payment works (important) We are happy to pay upfront, but we require skin in the game. The structure will be: - An agreed base fee (slightly reduced) - Performance bonuses paid on top when agreed targets are achieved Targets will be defined upfront and may include: - Moving agreed keywords from outside the top 30 into the top 20 - Top 20 into top 10 - Top 10 into top 3 - Rankings sustained for an agreed period (e.g. 30 days) Bonuses are paid once targets are hit and verified via agreed tools (e.g. Google Search Console or rank tracking software). If you’re confident in your ability to rank sites, this structure should work in your favour. What we need from you Please include: 1. Examples of sites you’ve ranked (ideally service-based or local SEO) 2. Your actual approach for the first 30 / 60 / 90 days 3. How you measure success (no vanity metrics) 4. Confirmation you’re comfortable working with clear targets and performance incentives Generic proposals will be ignored. Ideal fit - Proven SEO experience (delivery, not theory) - Comfortable being measured on outcomes - Clear communicator - No black-hat or spam tactics - Strong understanding of commercial intent We’re not looking for a long-term retainer based purely on activity. We’re looking for someone who wants to win alongside us. If that sounds like you, get in touch. James
2 days ago34 proposalsRemoteExpert in Notion Databases & Creative Briefs for Video Content
I am restructuring six “Creative Brief Plans,” one for each short video I will be filming. Alongside these, there is a separate Notion database called Visual Content Specs, which serves as a centralized visual reference library. It contains mood boards, image references, and detailed visual options, and is designed to be easy to expand. The purpose of the two databases is distinct but complementary: - Creative Brief Plans focus on written direction and storytelling. - Visual Content Specs focuses on visual details and imagery. Together, they provide a clear, consistent guide showcasing options, direction and uniformity for the visually desired story, helping me decide what to include in each video. ---- DELIVERABLES The data across both databases is heavy in both text and images, and it needs to support text-driven and image-driven views equally. I need help auditing and restructuring the system so it is intuitive, efficient, and easy to use without confusion. - Specifically, I need the structure to support: - A simplified, centralized overview that makes the big picture of both databases immediately clear. Clear call-outs to the most efficient “starting point” (whether that is a dedicated overview page, a space-level page, or the main database view) - Correct and consistent property formats so each piece of information is understandable at a glance. This is especially critical for image-based content - Purpose-built database views for both Pages and Properties with particular attention to image viewing, comparison, and reference - Clear, intuitive navigation from *All Pages*, including a clean and logical “Cultures | Archive” structure - No redundant or duplicated information across pages, properties, or views - Both databases must remain easy to add new research and images to without breaking the structure. - It is essential that all key information can be understood directly from the database level, without needing to open individual pages—using toggles, collapsible sections, and multiple database view modes (or other appropriate tools). - Finally, Visual Content Specs must be easily and frequently referenced from within each Creative Brief Plan, reinforcing a clear link between written direction and visual execution. - This model will be for 6 videos at first, but there will be 6 more in the future utilizing the same model, 6 more again and so on -- PLEASE NOTE — I’ll be asking to sign a NDA - non disclosure agreement, requesting full privacy of this project once we begin working together
