About Inner Labs
Inner Labs is an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) platform. We help brands get cited and represented correctly across ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini, not just ranked on Google. We're bootstrapped, small, and move fast.
The role
We need someone who lives in the technical and content mechanics of SEO: indexing, crawlability, keyword research, on-page structure, and content that actually earns rankings. This is not a generalist marketing role. You will not be running ads, building websites, or managing socials. Your scope is SEO, full stop.
If you do this well, you'll also pick up how AEO differs from traditional SEO (why a page can rank #1 on Google and still never get cited by an AI answer engine). You don't need this experience coming in. You do need to be genuinely excellent at the fundamentals first.
What you'll actually do
- Run technical SEO audits: indexing issues, crawlability, site structure, schema, core web vitals
- Own keyword and topic research from scratch for clients with zero or near-zero existing SEO presence
- Diagnose and fix ranking drops using GSC and GA4 as your primary tools
- Write and structure content that is built to rank, not just built to sound good
- Work directly with client accounts alongside our content and account management team
- Report on what moved, why it moved, and what you did about it, with numbers, not vibes
What we need from you
- 2+ years of hands-on SEO work you can show, not just describe. We will ask for verifiable results: baseline, action, outcome, and someone who can confirm it
- Real comfort with Ahrefs, Semrush, GSC, and GA4. You should be able to walk us through your actual workflow, not the textbook version
- A track record of taking a site from near-zero to ranking, or recovering a site from a traffic drop
- Precise, clear communication. You'll be writing reports clients read directly
- Comfort operating inside a tightly scoped role. We are looking for depth in SEO, not breadth across marketing functions
What we don't need
- Someone who wants to also run paid ads, build landing pages, or manage social media on the side. If that's the kind of role you're looking for, this isn't it
- Someone who talks about results without being able to show them
Compensation and logistics
Location: Open to remote, India-based preferred Compensation: Based on experience and verified track record
Start: Immediate
How we hire
- A short call with the founder. 30-45 minutes.
- A work task. Real strategic exercise on an anonymized client situation. Should take 2-3 hours.
- A follow-up conversation walking through your task and going deeper on your background.
- A reference check.
- Offer within 10 days of the follow-up conversation.
We move fast. The whole process takes 2-3 weeks for the right person.
Performance bonuses tied to client retention, expansion, and satisfaction. Structure discussed at offer stage.
