Senior AEO/SEO Strategist

RemoteFull TimeSenior Level

Help shape how B2B companies win across traditional search and AI search.

01 / Context

About Windgrove AI

Windgrove AI is an AEO and SEO agency helping B2B SaaS and technology companies become the brands that AI recommends.

We work across traditional search and AI search platforms including Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and other emerging discovery channels.

Our goal is not simply to increase traffic.

We help clients improve their visibility, authority and positioning across the places their buyers are searching, then connect that work as closely as possible to pipeline and revenue.

We are building a lean, highly capable team and are looking for a Senior AEO/SEO Strategist who can help lead strategy and execution across our client portfolio.

02 / The role

The role

We are looking for someone with deep SEO experience who understands where search is going next.

You should be equally comfortable analyzing a website, building an SEO strategy, reviewing Search Console data, identifying content opportunities, improving technical foundations and thinking strategically about how brands become cited and recommended inside AI-generated answers.

AEO is still an emerging discipline, so we do not expect you to have spent ten years doing it.

We do expect you to understand modern search, be highly curious about AI search, learn quickly and be able to apply strong SEO fundamentals to a rapidly changing environment.

This is a hands-on strategic role.

You will help determine what we should do for clients, why we should do it, what should be prioritized and whether the work is actually producing results.

03 / Responsibilities

What you'll be responsible for

AEO and SEO strategy

  • Develop and manage AEO and SEO strategies for B2B SaaS and technology clients
  • Identify the highest leverage opportunities across content, technical SEO, authority, on-page optimization and AI visibility
  • Turn audits, research and performance data into clear priorities and execution plans
  • Help define the prompts, topics, queries and buying journeys our clients need to win
  • Understand how traditional SEO and AI search visibility work together rather than treating them as separate channels

Client performance

  • Analyze performance across Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs or SEMrush, AI visibility platforms and other relevant tools
  • Identify why performance is improving or declining
  • Track rankings, traffic, citations, visibility, conversions and other meaningful KPIs
  • Help connect organic and AI search initiatives to qualified leads, pipeline and revenue wherever possible
  • Continuously identify opportunities to improve client results

Content strategy

  • Build content strategies around real search demand, buyer intent and AI visibility opportunities
  • Identify topic clusters, comparison content, category pages, use cases, decision-stage content and other high-value assets
  • Create or review content briefs
  • Ensure content is built to rank, be cited, answer buyer questions and support conversion
  • Work closely with writers and other delivery team members to maintain a high quality bar

Technical SEO

  • Conduct technical SEO audits and identify issues affecting discoverability, crawling, indexing and performance
  • Work with client websites across platforms such as Webflow, WordPress and other CMS platforms
  • Understand and advise on areas including site architecture, internal linking, schema, sitemaps, robots.txt, redirects, indexation, canonicalization and page performance
  • Translate technical issues into clear recommendations clients and internal team members can understand

AI search and AEO

  • Research how clients appear across AI search engines and LLMs
  • Analyze citations, competitors, sources and prompt visibility
  • Identify why competing brands are being recommended and how clients can improve their position
  • Understand the role of third-party authority, brand mentions, editorial coverage, Reddit, directories, reviews and other external signals
  • Stay ahead of changes across ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and AI Mode, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and emerging search platforms
  • Help Windgrove continue developing and improving our internal AEO methodology

Client strategy and communication

  • Help prepare client reporting, strategy documents and recommendations
  • Explain complicated SEO and AEO concepts simply
  • Participate in client calls where strategic expertise is required
  • Challenge assumptions when the data suggests a different direction
  • Be comfortable making recommendations rather than simply completing assigned tasks
04 / Requirements

What we're looking for

  • Several years of hands-on SEO experience, ideally with SaaS, technology or B2B companies
  • Experience owning SEO strategy rather than only executing individual tasks
  • Strong technical SEO, content strategy and analytics skills
  • Confidence using Google Search Console, GA4 and tools such as Ahrefs, SEMrush or similar platforms
  • Strong understanding of search intent, keyword research, competitive analysis and content architecture
  • Active interest in AI search, AEO, GEO and LLM visibility
  • Ability to look at large amounts of information and determine what actually matters
  • Clear communication without overcomplicating recommendations
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving environment where processes are continuously improving
  • Strong focus on client outcomes rather than completing checklists
05 / Fit

You'll probably be a great fit if

  • You regularly find yourself asking, “What will actually move the needle?”
  • You enjoy diagnosing why something is not performing
  • You can move between high-level strategy and detailed execution
  • You are skeptical of vanity metrics
  • You believe traffic without business outcomes has limited value
  • You are excited about the shift from traditional search toward AI-assisted discovery
  • You want to help define how a new category of search marketing is delivered rather than joining a company where every process was written ten years ago
06 / Fit

This role is probably not for you if

  • You only want to work on traditional keyword rankings
  • You need every task and process completely defined before you can move forward
  • You prefer executing instructions over making strategic decisions
  • You view SEO as publishing more content rather than solving business and search problems
  • You are uncomfortable with client communication or defending your recommendations
  • You are not actively interested in how AI is changing search
07 / Outcomes

What success looks like

Within your first few months, you should be able to independently understand a client's business, analyze their search and AI visibility, identify the largest opportunities and build a clear strategy around them.

Over time, we want this person to become one of the strongest strategic voices inside Windgrove's delivery team.

You will help us improve how we approach AEO, SEO, attribution, content and client strategy while ensuring every recommendation ultimately ties back to meaningful business outcomes.

08 / Why us

Why Windgrove

You will be joining a small team building at the beginning of a major shift in how people discover companies and make buying decisions.

You will have significant ownership over your work, direct exposure to clients and the ability to influence how our services and methodologies evolve.

We move quickly, experiment constantly and care deeply about building systems that produce measurable results.

If you are an experienced SEO strategist who believes AI search is changing the industry and wants to help build what comes next, we would love to hear from you.
