SEO Specialist
Protect and grow organic traffic through Shopify migrations and ongoing client work, redirect mapping, technical SEO audits and content strategy.
SEO is where Shopify migrations most commonly go wrong, and it's also one of the clearest levers for growth once a store is live. As an SEO Specialist at UVT, you'll own both sides: protecting a client's existing rankings through a platform move, and building the ongoing content and technical work that grows traffic afterward.
What You'll Do
- Build and execute redirect maps for platform migrations: exporting indexed URLs, mapping every one to its Shopify equivalent, and verifying nothing gets lost after launch.
- Run technical SEO audits on Shopify stores: site structure, page speed, structured data, internal linking, and the gaps between what Shopify handles natively and what still needs work.
- Plan and sometimes write content (blog posts, collection page copy, landing pages) with real keyword research behind it, not just volume for its own sake.
- Monitor Search Console and analytics through and after a migration, catching crawl errors or ranking drops early rather than after a client notices.
- Work directly with developers on technical SEO implementation. This role has real input into how a site is built, not just a report handed over after the fact.
What We're Looking For
- Real experience running SEO for ecommerce sites specifically, ideally with direct experience in a platform migration (protecting rankings through a URL structure change).
- Comfortable with the technical side: Search Console, structured data (schema.org), Core Web Vitals, and enough understanding of how a site is actually built to have a real opinion on it.
- Keyword research and content strategy skills, not just technical auditing. This role covers both.
- Clear, specific communication with clients who often don't have an SEO background themselves.
Nice to have: experience with GEO/AEO (optimizing content for AI answer engines and structured citations, not just traditional search), Shopify-specific SEO experience, content writing samples.
What We Offer
Remote-first work, and SEO work that's judged on measurable outcomes (rankings, traffic, conversions through organic) rather than vanity reporting. The kind of work where you can point to a specific migration you protected and a specific ranking you grew.
