Job Description

Can your edits shape what millions read next?

Typos and awkward phrasing? You spot them before most people even start reading. When it comes to clarity, consistency, and SEO-savvy polish, you’re the calm in the chaos—the person everyone trusts to get it right. If your idea of satisfaction is hitting “publish” on a post that’s flawless, on-message, and built to rise through search rankings, you’ll thrive here. This remote SEO content proofreader role isn’t just about catching mistakes—it’s about raising the bar for everything we put into the world.

Why your work will matter

Every piece of content carries our voice, reputation, and strategy into the wild. Your revisions don’t just tidy up—they fuel organic growth, reader trust, and the momentum behind major projects. You’ll shape articles that help job seekers land interviews, guide business owners toward smarter decisions, and inspire readers to take action. Your keen eye will unlock more than grammatical accuracy—it’ll create ripple effects for our audience, our clients, and your own career.

What success looks like here

Forget the tired routine of copy-pasting template feedback. Here, your judgment calls drive measurable results: higher SERP rankings, longer dwell times, and more return visits. You’ll review drafts that are rough and raw—sometimes outlines, sometimes nearly there. You’ll bring order, nuance, and technical accuracy, always thinking several steps ahead about both human readers and Google’s algorithms.

You’ll collaborate with SEO strategists who obsess over intent, content marketers chasing shareable moments, and writers eager to learn from your feedback. It’s a virtuous cycle: The sharper your edits, the smarter our content becomes, and the further our reach grows.

Your contributions in action

• Every day, your suggestions turn generic sentences into irresistible hooks and vague advice into actionable insight.
• By working with our content management systems, you’ll structure articles for both skimmability and depth, helping readers stay engaged from the first headline to the last word.
• You’ll adapt style and tone to match evolving brand guidelines, ensuring consistency whether it’s a technical how-to or an inspiring career story.
• Your understanding of on-page SEO—like keyword optimization, meta descriptions, and internal linking—will make every piece perform better without ever feeling forced.
• When it’s time for fact-checking, you’re meticulous, always sourcing the latest data and ensuring accuracy that builds reader trust.
• You simplify complex advice, whether the subject is Google algorithm changes, remote work trends, or the fine print in employment law.

How you’ll partner and grow

You’ll work side-by-side (remotely, of course) with passionate teammates who value honest feedback, thoughtful revision, and constant learning. Here, you’re never just “the last step before publishing.” Your input sparks brainstorms, improves workflows, and sets new editorial standards. We share wins, celebrate improvement, and make space for your growth.

Expect to use industry-leading remote collaboration tools—from Google Docs for real-time comments, to Asana for workflow clarity, to Slack for team-wide updates. Our SEO toolkit includes Surfer SEO, Clearscope, and SEMrush, empowering you to shape content that’s both insightful and search-ready. And you’ll have plenty of chances to lead peer review sessions, contribute to process improvements, or suggest the next best editorial tool.

What makes this role unique

This isn’t a proofreading job where you’re siloed from the creative process. You’ll weigh in on outlines, headline choices, and even the occasional infographic caption. You’ll mentor junior writers, offering feedback that’s kind, candid, and rooted in expertise. You’ll also have room to deepen your own understanding of content analytics, conversion-focused writing, and emerging SEO trends.

Because our team moves quickly, you’ll find space for focused work—no constant pings or endless meetings. We respect the time it takes to conduct thorough, meticulous editing. That’s how we consistently deliver work that earns both clicks and compliments.

The experience and mindset you’ll bring

• You see language as both art and strategy—capable of changing minds, not just correcting errors.
• You’ve proofread for SEO-rich content, blog posts, guides, or B2B/B2C resources, always mindful of user experience.
• You’re comfortable with modern content management systems and can quickly adapt to new tools.
• Your notes help writers grow, not just improve a single draft. You know how to phrase feedback so it’s clear, actionable, and encouraging.
• You stay curious, keeping up with Google’s latest updates and how they affect search visibility.
• You simplify complexity: “Can a job seeker with no SEO background understand this?” is always on your mind.
• You’re passionate about remote work and know how to build connections and momentum even from afar.
