WordPress & SEO Specialist for Brand Expansion
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
Project Title: WordPress Developer & Local SEO Expert for Real Estate + Restaurant Brand
Project Description:
I am looking for an experienced WordPress developer and SEO specialist to optimize and expand my current website. The site represents a coastal North Carolina real estate vacation rentals, but we are expanding it to include our annual property rentals, an area guide, and our hospitality portfolio.
I need someone who can establish a strong technical SEO foundation while building out custom, easy-to-manage sections for my team to update in the future.
Scope of Work:
1. Real Estate & Rental Architecture:
Annual Rentals Section: Build a custom setup (using Custom Post Types/ACF) for annual rentals. I need a custom taxonomy setup so when I add a new property, I can simply check a box for the specific city it is located in.
Event-Based Properties: Create a separate, dedicated tab/section to showcase our available event-based properties.
2. Hospitality & Area Guides:
Crystal Coast Guide: Build a "Navigating the Crystal Coast" tab designed to feature local attractions, things to do, and area resources. (This should be built with local SEO in mind).
Restaurant Portfolio: Create a section to showcase our 5 distinct restaurants, including a clean, easy-to-read layout for our menus.
Homepage Call-to-Action: Design a dynamic "Featured Restaurant" block on the homepage that links directly to our Resy.com and restaurant webpage for table reservations.
3. SEO & Performance (The Foundation):
Technical SEO & Indexing: Ensure the site is fully crawlable, configure the primary SEO plugin, generate XML sitemaps, and submit them via Google Search Console.
On-Page & Local SEO: Write high-converting title tags and meta descriptions for core pages. Target long-tail, location-specific keywords (e.g., Morehead City real estate, Crystal Coast rentals).
Speed & Performance: Implement basic speed optimizations (caching, image compression) to ensure fast load times on mobile and desktop.
Ideal Candidate:
Deep expertise in WordPress development (specifically using Custom Post Types, Taxonomies, and Advanced Custom Fields).
Proven track record optimizing WordPress sites for local service businesses.
Ability to build clean, user-friendly backend dashboards so I can easily add properties and menus myself without touching code.
To Apply, Please Provide:
1. A few links to live websites you have built or optimized (preferably real estate, property management, or restaurant sites).
2. A brief explanation of how you will structure the backend for the "Annual Rentals" city checkboxes.
3. Your estimated timeline and quote for this project.
Note: To prove you have read this brief and are not an automated bot, please start your proposal with the exact phrase "Coastal Setup". Generic, copy-pasted bids will be ignored.
Skills Required:
WordPress, SEO, PHP, Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), Local Search Optimization, Web Design
