Hiring SEO & Link Building Specialist Philippines

Hiring – SEO & Inbound Link Specialist
We’re looking for a talented SEO Specialist based in the Philippines who enjoys solving website problems, improving search rankings, and building quality inbound links.
-
Work from home on a contract basis.
-
Paid per website, with ongoing work available.
-
Opportunity to work with an established U.S. business.
-
Clear goals, defined deliverables, and the opportunity to grow.
-
Work independently and take ownership of your results.
-
Opportunity to work on multiple websites on an ongoing basis – 70 domains
-
Help build a growing U.S. corporate training business, expanding its city website portfolio toward 70 sites over the next two years.
-
Work with a company celebrating 30 years of success in the training and development industry.
Why This Is a Great Opportunity
We currently have 13 City Seminar websites plus a main site and Speakers Bureau site up and online. About half of them are generating good leads from pure organic pages and posts. We’re expanding to 70 city websites in the USA and 15 or so in SE Asia.
Most all of these websites have two big issues we need help with
- There are basic SEO issues preventing pages from ranking
- We have very few inbound links and so low DR’s
We want someone who will do a great job on a first city site – then we’ll add city site after city site to their workload. So this job could expand into a substantial account improving and then maintaining great SEO on 70 -100 of our websites. We also have other websites in need of SEO care.

About This Role
The purpose of this position is to improve the search performance of our websites by correcting technical and on-page SEO problems and acquiring quality inbound links.
You’ll work on WordPress websites serving different U.S. cities. Your responsibilities will include identifying and correcting SEO problems that interfere with indexing and rankings, improving on-page optimization, and developing effective strategies to earn relevant inbound links.
We use WordPress, Divi, Yoast SEO, Google Search Console, and Ahrefs. Experience with these tools is an advantage.
We’re interested in results, not simply reports full of warnings or lists of backlinks. We want someone who can identify what matters, do the work, and show us what has improved.
Outcomes
-
Better SEO: Identify and correct technical and on-page problems that interfere with indexing, visibility, and rankings.
-
Improved Websites: Improve page titles, meta descriptions, headings, internal linking, and other important on-page SEO elements.
-
Quality Inbound Links: Acquire relevant, legitimate backlinks that strengthen our websites and support organic search performance.
-
Measurable Progress: Track important changes using Google Search Console, Ahrefs, and other appropriate tools.
-
Repeatable Processes: Develop a practical approach that can be applied across multiple city websites.
-
Clear Reporting: Explain what you completed, what remains to be done, what links were acquired, and what you recommend next.
Skills Required
-
Hands-on experience diagnosing and correcting technical SEO problems.
-
Strong understanding of on-page SEO, indexing, crawling, internal linking, redirects, canonical tags, and XML sitemaps.
-
Experience with WordPress SEO, preferably including Divi and Yoast SEO.
-
Proven experience acquiring quality inbound links through effective outreach and other legitimate methods.
-
Ability to evaluate the relevance and quality of potential linking websites.
-
Experience using Google Search Console and Ahrefs or comparable SEO tools.
-
Ability to distinguish important SEO problems from minor warnings that are unlikely to affect results.
-
Ability to implement fixes, not simply produce audit reports.
-
Strong analytical skills and the ability to report work accurately.
-
Good English communication skills and the ability to work independently.
Requirements
We’re looking for someone who can take responsibility for improving our websites and building quality inbound links. You don’t need to know everything, but you must have genuine, hands-on experience in both areas.
-
You must be located in the Philippines.
-
You must have practical experience with technical and on-page SEO.
-
You must have experience acquiring quality inbound links.
-
You must be able to explain the work you’ve personally completed and the results you’ve achieved.
-
You must be comfortable working with WordPress websites.
-
You must be able to provide a clear scope, price, and timeline for each assigned website.
-
You must be comfortable with project-based contract work and separately priced ongoing services.
-
You must be able to work independently, communicate clearly, and meet agreed deadlines.
-
You must have a reliable internet connection.
-
You must be reliable, detail-oriented, and interested in an ongoing professional relationship.
Compensation and Benefits
We’re expecting to pay between $250–$450 USD per website, depending on the site’s condition and the agreed scope of work.
Ongoing link-building outreach and other recurring work will be priced separately. You’ll be asked to explain your proposed deliverables and pricing before each engagement begins.
This is an opportunity to earn additional work as you demonstrate your ability to deliver quality results. We will be assigning more city websites as our portfolio expands.
-
Work from home in the Philippines.
-
Clear project scopes and agreed pricing.
-
Opportunity for recurring contract work.

A direct working relationship with an established U.S. company.
Candidate Requirements

Confidentiality: Website data, business information, account access, and proprietary processes must be kept confidential.
-
Professional Conduct: Work must be completed honestly and transparently. We do not want fabricated reports, purchased spam links, or misleading claims about SEO results.
-
Account Access: All website and SEO accounts remain under company control. Work must be documented so that we retain access to the work and its results.

Why This Role Is Ideal
This opportunity is ideal for an SEO specialist who wants to build a long-term working relationship with a growing U.S. business.
Rather than completing a one-time assignment and moving on, you’ll have the opportunity to improve multiple websites over time, develop repeatable processes, and grow the amount of work you handle as we expand.
We’re looking for someone who takes pride in their work, communicates honestly, and understands that the goal is to improve website performance and generate more business—not simply complete a checklist.
