SEO/AEO Strategist Senior | UX Operations | Updated to emphasize hands-on technical SEO/AEO delivery
Level: Senior
Product team: UX Operations
Work location: Irving, Texas; this position is not remote
Reporting: Reports directly to Pora Chitrathorn, with a dotted-line relationship to Tej
Hiring timeframe: Immediate
Management responsibilities: None
Travel: Not required
We are seeking a hands-on SEO/AEO Strategist to improve how customers discover traditional search engines, answer engines, and AI-powered search experiences. This role combines search strategy with technical diagnosis and direct implementation. The strategist will make or directly contribute to web and CMS changes—not only produce audits, recommendations, or tickets—and will work with Product, UX, Engineering, and Technology to prioritize, ship, and validate improvements. The role connects customer intent and business goals to measurable improvements in crawlability, indexation, site structure, content discoverability, and organic and AI-driven visibility.
Responsibilities
- Technical SEO: Audit and improve crawlability, indexation, sitemaps, redirects, canonicalization, site architecture, internal linking, metadata, and other technical barriers to search visibility.
- Hands-on implementation: Make or directly contribute to changes in HTML, page templates, metadata, CMS configurations, and structured data. Validate changes in the appropriate environments and after release.
- Structured data and schema: Implement and validate structured data that helps search engines and answer engines understand pages, products, services, and entities.
- SEO and AEO strategy: Define and execute search strategies across 7-Eleven.com and 7NOW.com, including content discoverability in traditional search and AI-generated answers.
- AI-search optimization: Assess how content appears in AI-generated answers and other answer surfaces; identify technical or content gaps and turn findings into concrete site improvements.
- Intent and journey mapping: Analyze user intent and search behavior and connect search needs to relevant content and experiences across the customer journey.
- Product backlog and prioritization: Translate audits, search insights, and opportunities into clear requirements, prioritized backlog items, and acceptance criteria with Product and UX partners.
- Engineering delivery: Partner with Product, UX, Engineering, and Technology to navigate site ownership, work through normal engineering review and release processes, get changes shipped, and confirm implementation quality.
- Measurement and optimization: Use search, analytics, crawling, and AI-visibility data to prioritize fixes and evaluate whether shipped changes improved discoverability. Communicate results and limitations clearly; do not assume or promise a fixed SEO/AEO return.
- Content and information architecture: Guide keyword, topic, and entity research; advise on taxonomy, page structure, internal linking, and content optimization in partnership with content teams.
- Standards and enablement: Develop practical guidelines and repeatable practices that help teams maintain search-friendly experiences at scale.
Qualifications
- 5+ years of relevant experience in SEO, technical SEO, AEO, search experience, or a related discipline.
- Demonstrated ability to audit and resolve technical SEO issues involving crawlability, indexation, sitemaps, redirects, canonicalization, and site architecture.
- Hands-on experience implementing or directly contributing to web changes in HTML, metadata, templates, a CMS, or structured data. A recommendations-only or ticket-only approach is not sufficient for this role.
- Experience implementing and validating schema/structured data for search engines and answer engines.
- Practical understanding of how search engines and AI/answer platforms discover, interpret, and surface content; ability to turn findings into site changes.
- Ability to work in a site codebase or CMS and collaborate through engineering review, release, and post-deployment validation processes.
- Experience partnering with Product, UX, Engineering, and Technology to prioritize work, resolve ownership or dependency questions, and deliver changes.
- Strong analytical skills; ability to use search and site-performance data to prioritize work and assess outcomes.
- Strong written, verbal, and consultative communication skills, including the ability to explain technical findings and influence roadmap decisions.
- Experience managing multiple initiatives and working effectively in an agile product environment.
- Portfolio or documented case studies showing technical SEO/AEO work, implementation contributions, and outcomes.
Required Skills
- Relevant experience in SEO, technical SEO, AEO, search experience, or a related discipline.
- Ability to audit and resolve technical SEO issues involving crawlability, indexation, sitemaps, redirects, canonicalization, and site architecture.
- Hands-on experience implementing or directly contributing to web changes in HTML, metadata, templates, a CMS, or structured data.
- Experience implementing and validating schema/structured data for search engines and answer engines.
- Practical understanding of how search engines and AI/answer platforms discover, interpret, and surface content.
- Ability to work in a site codebase or CMS and collaborate through engineering review, release, and post-deployment validation processes.

- Strong analytical skills and ability to use search and site-performance data to prioritize work and assess outcomes.
- Strong written, verbal, and consultative communication skills.
- Experience managing multiple initiatives and working effectively in an agile product environment.
Preferred Skills
- Experience optimizing content for generative AI, answer engines, and conversational search experiences.

- Experience supporting e-commerce or transaction-driven digital experiences.
- Familiarity with marketing platforms, campaign engines, personalization systems, and enterprise search/SEO tools.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding Visa Sponsorship as a SEO Content Writer
Frame your degree as directly related
Sponsorship for SEO content writers hinges on the specialty occupation requirement. A degree in communications, journalism, English, or marketing maps cleanly. A degree in an unrelated field weakens the LCA, so document any bridge coursework before you apply.
Build a portfolio that proves measurable impact
Employers sponsoring H-1B petitions face USCIS scrutiny on whether the role genuinely requires a degree. Published work showing keyword ranking gains, organic traffic growth, or content strategy outcomes strengthens the specialty occupation argument in your petition.
Search Migrate Mate for verified LCA sponsors
Not every company that posts content writer jobs has LCA filing history for the role. Migrate Mate shows employers with verified sponsorship activity for SEO and content positions, so you can focus outreach on companies already set up to file.
Check prevailing wage tiers before negotiating
Your employer's LCA must certify a wage at or above the prevailing wage for your role and location. Run your job title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search to know your wage tier before salary discussions, not after the offer arrives.
Target companies with established content teams
Startups without an HR or legal infrastructure often stall mid-sponsorship process. Companies with dedicated content departments have handled LCA filings before, understand DOL timelines, and are far less likely to rescind an offer when filing complexity becomes clear.
Get the job description right before filing
The LCA job description must align precisely with your day-to-day duties. Vague titles like 'content creator' or 'digital marketer' invite USCIS RFEs. Push your employer to use O*NET task language for SEO-specific roles to anchor the specialty occupation case.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does an SEO content writer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B sponsorship?
It can, but it's not automatic. USCIS evaluates whether the specific role requires at least a bachelor's degree in a directly related field. An SEO content writer position tied to a degree in communications, marketing, journalism, or English typically qualifies. Generic 'writer' roles where any degree suffices are more likely to draw a Request for Evidence.
Which visas can sponsor an SEO content writer working in the U.S.?
H-1B is the most common path for employer-sponsored full-time roles. Australian citizens can use the E-3 visa, which has no lottery and renews every two years. F-1 students can work via OPT or STEM OPT if the role relates to their degree. Each path requires the employer to confirm the role meets specialty occupation standards.
How do I find employers who actively sponsor SEO content writer visas?
Migrate Mate lists employers with verified LCA filing history for content and SEO roles, so you can browse companies that have already sponsored similar positions rather than guessing from job postings. Many employers sponsor without advertising it, making filing history a more reliable signal than the job ad itself.
Does a three-year Australian bachelor's degree satisfy the H-1B specialty occupation requirement?
USCIS generally accepts a three-year Australian bachelor's degree as equivalent to a U.S. four-year degree for specialty occupation purposes, particularly when the degree is in a field directly related to the role. A credential evaluation from a recognized body can formally document this equivalency, which strengthens the petition if USCIS questions it.
Can an SEO content writer role qualify for an EB-2 or EB-3 green card?
Yes. EB-3 covers skilled workers and applies to most SEO content writer positions requiring a degree or two or more years of experience. EB-2 requires an advanced degree or exceptional ability. Both categories require PERM labor certification in most cases, where the employer must demonstrate no qualified U.S. workers are available for the role.
What is the prevailing wage requirement for sponsored SEO Content Writer jobs?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
