Create and improve search-led content that matches intent and supports conversion, covering both traditional SEO and Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) for AI-driven search and answer engines. Focus is content quality, structure, refresh cadence, on-page optimisation, and content performance, with consistent use of approved wording patterns, required risk language, and adherence to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) content standards.
Key responsibilities:
- Write and update high-intent SEO content (commercial pages, comparison pages, FAQs, education where it supports intent).
- Write content optimised for GEO (Generative Engine Optimisation), structuring and phrasing content so it can be clearly understood, cited, and surfaced by AI-driven search and answer engines (e.g. ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews), alongside traditional SEO.
- Maintain a refresh plan: identify decay, update content, and improve coverage gaps.
- Conduct keyword research to identify content opportunities, search intent, and coverage gaps across markets, feeding findings into the content plan.
- Grow First Time Trader (FTT) volumes from generic, non-brand keyword terms through SEO content, reducing reliance on brand search and expanding acquisition from new audiences.
- Apply on-page best practice: headings, structure, internal linking updates, meta inputs, and content QA before publish.
- Localise (rather than directly translate) content for country-specific websites, adapting to local search intent and market nuances while avoiding content cannibalisation, duplication, and duplicate-content flags across the global site network.
- Manage and coordinate content across multiple global/country websites, maintaining consistency of structure, tone, and compliance while reflecting local relevance.
- Write and edit content in line with E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness) and YMYL (Your Money or Your Life) principles, reflecting the standards required for financial content.
- Review content performance (rankings, organic traffic, engagement, conversion) and use insights to optimise existing content and improve rankings.
- Work within compliance constraints and use approved claims and risk language patterns.
