SEO & Digital Marketing Specialist for Crypto News WordPress Site – Organic Traffic Growth
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
ABOUT US
We are a crypto news startup running a WordPress-based crypto news site with over 5,000 posts — 90% hand-written. Despite solid content and following best practices, Google algorithms continue to bury our pages. We need a hands-on SEO specialist who can diagnose why, build a clear roadmap, and own the results.
WHAT WE'VE ALREADY DONE
• Google Search Console and Analytics connected; best practices implemented
• No penalties or toxic backlinks; reliable hosting with good load speeds
• Sitemaps, robots.txt, and crawlability all optimized
• Technical fixes addressed — indexing and rankings are where we need the edge
WHAT WE NEED HELP WITH
• A data-driven on-page plan: keyword gap analysis, AI-assisted content briefs (human expertise only — no AI-generated work), schema markup tweaks, internal linking adjustments and core web vitals improvements
• A sustainable off-page roadmap: authority-safe backlink prospecting, outreach templates and link-building opportunities
• Ranking movement toward page 1 for key target keywords
• Clear, transparent weekly reporting — ranking changes, actions taken and what's next
TARGET OUTCOME
10x organic traffic growth is the long-term vision — we expect realistic, incremental progress each month with clear milestones, not overnight promises. We value honesty over ambition.
(No blackhat techniques)
Provide month-by-month metrics of what can realistically be achieved. SEO is a long game — we expect 3 to 6 month targets with clear accountability for what you commit to.
REQUIREMENTS
• Proven WordPress SEO experience — especially with news or content-heavy sites
• Hands-on with Ahrefs, SEMrush or equivalent tools
• Up to date with post-2025 Google updates — AI overviews, helpful content signals and core updates
• Ability to work independently, communicate clearly and commit long-term
• Budget-conscious — we don't have unlimited funds, so please quote realistically
DELIVERABLES & TIMELINE
We expect a clear month-by-month roadmap. As a guide:
• Month 1: Full audit, indexation fixes, on-page quick wins
• Month 2: Backlink prospecting and outreach begins
• Month 3+: Ranking and traffic movement with measurable benchmarks
Full site URL and access shared after initial vetting.
HOW TO APPLY
Please include:
1. Your quote (monthly retainer or hourly rate)
2. A brief proposed on-page and off-page strategy for a crypto news site of this scale
3. Relevant case studies — WordPress, crypto or news sites preferred; post-2025 Google update experience a strong plus
We're looking for a genuine specialist who can back their pitch with results — not templated proposals. Looking forward to connecting with someone ready to build something long-term.
This will be long term assignment not project based.
