  • Proficient in SEO tools (e.g. Google Analytics, GSC, SEM Rush, Screaming Frog etc or similar), with basic understanding of HTML, CSS, and/or Javascript.

  • Experience with analysis and SEO monitoring tools and data-driven website and keyword performance evaluation.

  • Exceptional level of communication and written English. Enjoy crafting persuasive content, generating creative ideas, and working with numbers and statistics.
