Not a shortlist someone emails you three weeks after you ask.
They write the long-form content that ranks in Google and turns search traffic into pipeline. Day to day that means:
Researching topics and target keywords, looking at what's already ranking and where the gaps are
Writing the article from outline to draft, with the structure and depth Google's actually rewarding now
Optimizing on-page elements: headers, internal links, metadata, schema where relevant
Briefing or coordinating with subject matter experts when the topic is technical and they need real input
Working with editors and SEO leads to revise pieces based on data after publishing
A strong SEO content writer thinks like a reader first and an algorithm second. They can write something that ranks AND something a reader actually wants to finish. Most companies hire an SEO content writer once they've decided that owned content is a channel they're serious about and they realize cranking out three thin posts a month isn't moving anything.
The tell is whether they bring you specific articles that ranked, with the keyword and position attached. A weak one shows you bylines without context. When you interview, look for:
Pieces they wrote that ranked top 10 for a competitive keyword. Bonus if they have the analytics to back it
Topic expertise or willingness to do real research. Surface-level content doesn't rank anymore
Comfort with the SEO basics: search intent, internal linking, header structure
Avoid anyone who treats SEO writing as a different craft from real writing.

ScoutOS
A recruiter's fee scales with the salary, so the better the hire, the more it costs you. On ScoutOS it's flat $1,999 whether the person earns $40,000 or $120,000.
Because you see the actual person, their work, and their rate before you talk to anyone — no blind trust in a recruiter's shortlist.
Every profile goes through skills verification and reference checks before it’s searchable. Roughly 1 in 300 applicants makes it onto the platform.
LATAM, Africa, South Asia, and Europe are all searchable and filterable right on the platform.
Your replacement is free in the first 60 days, and for as long as you keep the $149/mo plan for that hire after that — no separate agency fee, no starting the search over from zero.
Your hire’s contract and offer letter come from a locally compliant template, sent for e-signature inside Pavago. Payroll runs through our partner Plane (plane.com), which pays contractors in 240+ countries. You pay your hire directly from your own Plane account, so Pavago never touches the money. Using Plane costs you nothing for the first 60 days (Pavago covers it), and after that an optional $149/mo per hire keeps it running, cancel anytime. The Plane account stays yours even if you leave Pavago, and you can always run payroll yourself instead.
$99/mo to message and interview candidates (searching, profile previews and intro videos are free), plus a flat $1,999 placement fee when your hire signs — no percentage of salary. After the first 60 days, an optional $149/mo per hire keeps payroll and free replacements going.
Search and get matched candidates in under a minute. Most teams shortlist and interview within a week.
