• Structure content to directly answer user queries leveraging FAQ schema, how-to schema, and clear, concise answer blocks to maximise presence in AI Overviews and featured snippets.
• Implement and maintain structured data markup to ensure Sovos content is machine-readable and eligible for knowledge panels, entity recognition, and LLM training signals.
• Monitor Sovos brand and content visibility across AI-powered search tools such as Google SGE, Bing Copilot, Perplexity, and ChatGPT search, identifying gaps and opportunities.
• Identify and resolve technical SEO issues; collaborate with web development on performance, crawlability, and Core Web Vitals.
• Conduct SEO audits, competitive analysis, and benchmarking, including AEO gap analysis against competitors.
• Track and analyse website traffic, user behaviour, and conversion rates to assess strategy effectiveness and drive data-informed decisions.
• Stay current with emerging SEO, AEO, and AI search trends including developments in LLMs, generative AI search, and conversational interfaces and apply learnings proactively.

• Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate data into actionable SEO strategies.
• Excellent communication skills to collaborate effectively with cross-functional stakeholders Globally.
