Technical Skill:

  • SEO/AEO Tools: Ahrefs, Google Search Console, Google Analytics
  • Collaboration Tools: FigJam for sitemapping and strategy planning
  • AI & Automation: Working knowledge of CustomGPTs, LLM based tools, and willingness to explore automation platforms (Pipedream, Zapier, Make)

Strategic Capabilities:

  • Systems thinking approach with ability to translate audience insights into structure and messaging
  • Strong analytical skills to interpret data and define actionable recommendations
  • Ability to consult on process optimization and identify leading/lagging performance indicators

  • Measurable improvements in website performance for clients through strategic recommendations on user journeys, page hierarchy, and conversion optimisation
  • Consistent production of well researched information architectures informed by keyword analysis, user behaviour data, and competitive insights rather than assumptions
  • Strategic audits that identify high impact optimisation opportunities with clear prioritisation and actionable recommendations clients can implement
