Senior SEO Consultant – SEO and AI Search

At Clue, our success is built on the success of our clients. Founded in 1997, we are a boutique, senior-led digital agency helping businesses across Australia and international markets grow through digital.

Our work spans eCommerce, lead generation and complex digital platforms. We combine marketing, website experience, technology and proprietary tools to create measurable commercial outcomes.

We are looking for a Senior SEO Consultant to take ownership of organic and AI-search performance across multiple client accounts. This is a hands-on, client-facing role for an experienced SEO practitioner who can develop strategy, communicate it clearly and help move recommendations into delivery.

You will work directly with client decision-makers while collaborating with developers, designers, content specialists and the wider marketing team. Our clients range from focused lead-generation websites to large eCommerce and programmatic platforms with hundreds of thousands of pages.

• Own SEO strategy and client relationships across a portfolio of accounts.

• Connect SEO activity to qualified traffic, leads, transactions and revenue.

• Conduct technical, content, on-page, authority and competitive audits.

• Diagnose crawling, rendering, indexing, canonicalisation, structured-data and Core Web Vitals issues.

• Build clear, prioritised roadmaps and work with developers and content teams to deliver them.

• Develop content, internal-linking, site-architecture and programmatic SEO strategies.

• Analyse performance using Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs, Semrush and spreadsheets.

• Monitor how search engines, AI assistants and answer engines discover and cite information.

• Use AI and automation to improve research, reporting, quality assurance and delivery workflows.

• Lead client sessions, present recommendations and identify opportunities to improve existing accounts.

• At least five years of substantial, hands-on SEO experience, ideally in an agency or multi-client environment.

• Demonstrable organic-search results that you personally helped deliver.

• Experience owning SEO strategy, implementation and performance, not just reporting.

• Strong technical SEO, keyword research, on-page, content, internal-linking and authority-building capability.

• Experience with eCommerce, large websites, complex product structures or programmatic SEO.

• Practical experience with Google Search Console, GA4, Screaming Frog, Ahrefs or Semrush, and Excel or Google Sheets.

• Experience working with WordPress, Shopify or similar content-management and eCommerce platforms.

• The ability to investigate technical issues, define practical solutions and work effectively with developers.

• Strong commercial judgement and the ability to explain complex SEO issues in clear business language.

• Confidence leading client conversations and presenting recommendations.

• A practical understanding of AI search and GEO, with active use of AI or automation in your work.

Experience with Moz, Profound, digital PR or link acquisition is advantageous but not essential.

• Genuine ownership of SEO strategy, delivery and client outcomes.

• A hands-on role where you can continue developing as a strategist and consultant.

• An experienced, senior-level digital team with direct access to development, design, content and technology capabilities.

• Exposure to websites and industries with varied levels of scale and complexity.

• The opportunity to help shape Clue’s approach to SEO, AI search and automation.

• Support with tools, training and professional development.

• A potential pathway into search leadership as the capability expands.

Please apply with your CV and a concise cover letter outlining:

• Two SEO accounts or projects you have worked on and the results achieved.

• What you personally owned and delivered.

• A technical or performance problem you diagnosed and how you approached it.

• Your experience with large, complex or eCommerce websites.

• The SEO, analytics and data tools you use regularly.

• How you currently use AI and automation in your work.
