4 days ago7 proposalsRemoteSEMrush SEO Audit & Roadmap
I need a specialist who can dive into SEMrush, run a full site crawl, and hand back a clear-to-follow report that focuses on on-page SEO. The priority is understanding where my current pages fall short—be it thin copy, weak headings, cannibalised keywords, or missing schema—and then laying out a practical sequence of fixes I can implement (or have you implement later). Keyword research must be woven into the audit. Pull fresh data straight from SEMrush, map each page to the best-fit terms, and highlight any gaps where new content should be created. If you uncover off-page or technical issues during the crawl, feel free to flag them, but the bulk of your analysis should stay on-page. Deliverables • PDF or Google Doc audit generated from SEMrush, annotated with your insights • Excel/Sheets keyword map aligning target terms to existing and recommended pages • Action plan prioritised by impact vs. effort, with clear next steps, page IDs, and suggested copy/meta improvements • 30-minute hand-over call or Loom walkthrough so I’m crystal-clear on what to tackle first I will grant read-only access to Search Console and SEMrush as soon as we start. Please share a sample audit you’ve produced recently so I can gauge depth and style.

15 days ago4 proposalsRemoteTranslate Technical PDFs into German
I need a precise, native-level German rendition of several technical/scientific documents that I currently have only as PDFs. Accuracy of terminology is paramount; the text covers specialised concepts and data that must read naturally to a German-speaking engineer or researcher without losing any nuance. You will receive the original PDFs and return the translated content in a format that lets me edit and reuse it easily—Word (.docx) or an equivalent editable file is fine as long as the structure mirrors the source PDF. Acceptance criteria 1. Technical vocabulary is rendered with correct, industry-standard German terms. 2. All tables, figures and captions stay in their original positions and sequence. 3. Final file opens without layout issues and matches the pagination of the source.

AI Sales Automation Expert: Build Data & Outreach Workflow
I am looking for an expert in AI-driven sales orchestration to help scale the GTM (Go-To-Market) engine for a specialized industrial product called TorqCut (onshore hydraulic chopsaws for the piling, decommissioning, and demolition markets). What I’ve done so far: I previously built a customized salesflow using: Gemini for deep market and company research. Salesrobot for LinkedIn outreach (I will continue to manage this part myself). Lindy.ai for customized email workflows. The Problem: While the "Deep Research" identified the right companies, the email data was often inaccurate or stale. I am seeing too many "wrong" contacts or bounces, which is wasting automation credits and harming deliverability. The Goal: I need to insert a high-quality service into the middle of this flow that can find and verify high-integrity contact data (specifically Lead Engineers, Procurement Managers, and Operations Directors) before they hit the outreach stage. My Current Thinking: I am currently deciding between Clay and Apollo.io as the data engine. I am leaning toward Clay because of its "waterfall enrichment" and "Claygent" capabilities, which could allow us to scrape prospect websites for specific technical signals (e.g., companies that own 8–24 tonne excavators, which are the required carriers for our TQ-16 to TQ-32 models). I already have Lindy.ai set up and working for the outreach layer, so the solution must integrate seamlessly with it although I am open to better alternative setups to achieve the same result The Ask: I am looking for an expert to: Assess the current stack: Are Apollo or Clay still the best data engines for industrial/construction leads in 2026, or is there a superior AI-first solution I’m missing? Build the "Middle Layer": Set up a robust, automated workflow that takes my research/signals and provides "Golden Records" (95%+ verified emails). Optimize for Scale: I want to reach approximately 1,000 targeted prospects per month at an efficient cost. Integration: Ensure the verified data flows automatically into my existing Lindy.ai sequences or a superior alternative is provided. Important Note: I am fully open to other ideas. If you believe there is a "better way" to achieve this using new autonomous AI SDR agents (like 11x.ai, Artisan, etc.) or a different tech stack that is more efficient or cost-effective than what I’ve proposed, I want to hear your recommendation. Requirements: Proven experience with Clay (waterfall enrichment, Claygent) or Apollo.io. Experience with Lindy.ai or similar autonomous AI agents. Deep understanding of B2B data verification and deliverability (SMTP handshakes, catch-all detection) . Ability to demonstrate how you’ve scaled outreach to 1,000+ leads/mo previously. Please include in your proposal: Which data engine you recommend for the industrial cutting/engineering market and why. A brief overview of how you would structure the workflow from "Signal" to "Sent Email." Estimated monthly tool/software costs for 1,000 verified leads. Looking forward to hearing your ideas!

19 days ago60 proposalsRemoteAcademic Indonesian Tutoring & Translation
I’m looking for a native-level Indonesian professional who can do two things in parallel: guide a small group of absolute beginners toward academic fluency in Bahasa Indonesia and translate our English learning materials into polished, formal Indonesian. The students are starting from scratch but need to reach a point where they can read journal articles, write research summaries, and participate in seminars conducted in Indonesian.

Here’s what I need from you: • Structured online lessons built around academic vocabulary, formal grammar, and writing conventions, delivered via your preferred platform (Zoom, Google Meet, or similar). • Homework, quizzes, and short writing assignments that reinforce each lesson. • Periodic progress reports so I can track how well the group is moving toward BIPA level-2 (or an equivalent academic benchmark). • Accurate English-to-Indonesian translations of all course handouts, slides, and future documents, complete with a mini-glossary for technical terms.

If you hold a BIPA teaching certificate, a linguistics degree, or have published academic translations, please highlight that experience and share a short sample lesson plan or translation excerpt. I welcome your ideas on lesson frequency, preferred teaching tools, and any additional resources you’d bring to the table.
