Overview
SEO Specialist Jobs in City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa at Entail AI
Title: SEO Specialist
Company: Entail AI
Location: City of Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa
Entail AI is an SEO, content, and conversion-optimization startup that promotes the growth of our clients' organic website traffic through consistent content publishing, as well as on- and off-site performance optimization. We are a small but growing team that holds daily meetings and facilitates a culture of growth and learning. We value teachability, honesty, integrity, reliability, and willingness to go the extra mile, as well as collaboration to push the best ideas forward.
We are looking for an analytical, curious SEO specialist who reads search data closely, forms sharp hypotheses, and turns them into ranking and traffic gains. You should be comfortable moving between technical audits, content strategy, and performance analysis, and you should care about why a page ranks, not just that it does. You will own SEO strategy and execution across a portfolio of client sites, working directly with our content, analytics, and conversion teams.
How to apply:
If you believe that Entail AI is a great fit for you and that you meet the requirements, apply by completing the form and assessment below:
https://wkf.ms/4go2I06
* Applicants who do not complete both the form and the task will NOT be considered.
Your responsibilities may include:
- Auditing client sites for technical, on-page, and content issues, then prioritizing fixes by expected traffic and revenue impact.
- Analyzing search performance in Google Search Console and our internal analytics tooling to diagnose traffic changes, cannibalization, and indexing problems.
- Conducting keyword and SERP research to build content strategies that target commercial and informational intent, and mapping those keywords to the right page types.
- Owning on-page optimization, including titles, metadata, internal linking, and content structure across large and programmatically generated sitemaps.
- Diagnosing and resolving technical SEO issues, including crawlability, indexation, site architecture, and Core Web Vitals, in collaboration with developers.
- Tracking rankings, traffic, and conversions, and reporting on what moved and why, without hiding behind vanity metrics.
- Documenting what works so that effective SEO becomes a repeatable, teachable system across clients.
Key requirements and attributes required:
- Strong analytical instincts — you can look at search data, isolate the real problem, and separate signal from noise.
- Hands-on experience with Google Search Console, keyword and SEO research tools, and analytics platforms.
- A working understanding of technical SEO, including crawling, indexing, site structure, and how search engines actually process a page.
- A solid grasp of on-page and content SEO, including search intent, keyword mapping, and content optimization at scale.
- Resourcefulness and initiative — when no one has told you why traffic dropped, you find the answer.
- Great attention to detail and accuracy with data, records, and reporting.
- Excellent written communication and organizational skills.
- Comfort learning new tools quickly, including our internal analytics stack.
We know that the confidence gap and imposter syndrome can get in the way of meeting great candidates. Please don’t hesitate to apply.
