What you'll do
Organic Search & Local Visibility
•     Own SEO strategy and execution across the firm’s website and all city, county, and practice-area landing pages.
•     Build and defend rankings for high-intent local searches.
•     Manage and optimize Google Business Profiles across every firm location, including reviews, categories, service areas, photos, Q&A, and posting cadence.
•     Maintain citation accuracy and profile quality across legal directories and review platforms (Google, Avvo, Justia, FindLaw, Martindale-Hubbell, Yelp, and similar).
•     Oversee technical SEO health: site architecture, internal linking, page speed and Core Web Vitals, schema markup (LegalService, Attorney, FAQ, Review), crawlability, and indexation.
AI Search & Generative Discovery
•     Measure and improve the firm’s visibility inside AI-driven discovery channels — Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and emerging assistants.
•     Structure content, entity data, and citations so the firm is retrievable and quotable by large language models.
•     Monitor AI-generated answers and correct inaccurate or reputationally damaging representations at the source.
•     Analyze social and community signals (Reddit, YouTube, TikTok, forums), feed AI answers and search results.
•     Evaluate, implement, and administer AI tools that support content production, keyword research, competitive monitoring, and intake workflows.
Analytics & Reporting
•     Oversee SEO measurement end to end: build, QA, and maintain dashboards connecting rankings, impressions, visibility, traffic, calls, and signed cases.
•     Deliver a monthly performance report to firm leadership that translates data into plain-English recommendations and clear priorities — not a wall of metrics.
•     Identify performance shifts (algorithm updates, competitor moves, technical regressions) quickly, diagnose root cause, and recommend action.
•     Run competitive analysis against other Texas criminal defense firms: share of voice, SERP features, content gaps, backlink profiles, and AI citation share.
•     Design and measure experiments — page templates, title structures, schema approaches, content formats — and scale what works.
•     Maintain a prioritization framework that ties proposed SEO work to expected case value, so the backlog reflects business impact rather than effort.
What We’re Looking For

•     4+ years in SEO, organic growth, or digital marketing analytics, with demonstrated ownership of a site’s organic performance.

•     Self-starter mindset.
Preferred
