SEO and Paid Media Executive

Salary: R36 000 – R40 000 per month

Remote Recruitment is hiring an SEO and Paid Media Executive for a UK digital marketing agency, fully remote from South Africa, owning SEO, AI search visibility (AEO and GEO) and paid media across client accounts.

Our client is an ambitious UK-based digital marketing agency, part of a wider group of specialist businesses. Search is shifting from links to AI-driven answers in Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Claude. This role blends hands-on paid media (Google Ads, paid social, Shopping) with generative engine optimisation (GEO) and answer engine optimisation (AEO), so clients are cited in AI answers, not just ranked. Full-time, UK business hours.

Key responsibilities

• Technical SEO, schema, metadata and content optimisation directly inside client WordPress sites, plus audits covering Core Web Vitals, indexability, canonicals and crawl budget.

• Build client entities across Schema.org, Wikidata, Wikipedia and industry databases, and structure content to capture citations in AI Overviews, Perplexity and ChatGPT.

• Maintain AI discovery standards across client domains: llms.txt, robots.txt AI crawler directives and machine-readable Markdown.

• Build, optimise and scale paid search, display and social campaigns across Google Ads, Meta and LinkedIn to ROAS and CPA targets, including Google Merchant Center feeds for Shopping and Performance Max.
