Senior Consultant Search, Content & AI Visibility (SEO/GEO) (m/f/d), Düsseldorf

“We drive digital transformation end-to-end - from strategy to execution. Creating measurable progress and real impact for our clients.”
 
Stagnation? Not with us. We believe: Everything is BETA, and that's precisely where the opportunity for progress lies. Therefore, we question the existing, dare to try new things, and actively shape the digital transformation of our clients.
What sets us apart? We think holistically. From strategic consulting to implementation, we support our clients end-to-end – with creativity, technological excellence, and a deep understanding of their business models. This is how measurable progress and sustainable impact are created.
 
And now it's your turn: We are looking for people with curiosity, ambition, and the courage to take responsibility. People who are eager to learn new things, inspire our clients, and grow with us.

Your mission: Search has changed more in the last two years than in the ten before. Our clients, B2B Hidden Champions from Manufacturing, Industrial Goods, and Wholesale, with revenues between €300 million and €5 billion, are noticing this: organic traffic is declining, even though rankings are stable. Research increasingly starts in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Mode, rather than exclusively on the search results page. You will make these brands visible in classic search and in generative systems. The lever for this is content: visibility today is created through content that meets search intent and is citable, not through keyword density. You will define the content direction and ensure that visibility is demonstrable, not asserted.

• Strategy across the entire search landscape: You develop search and content strategies that merge classic SEO and GEO/AI Search, instead of treating them as two separate projects. You prioritize by impact, not by completeness.
• Technical SEO in depth: Crawling, indexing, Core Web Vitals, JS rendering, logfile analysis, internal linking, and information design. You will guide relaunches and migrations so that visibility is not lost afterward.
• Content strategy and entity architecture: You develop topic, content, and entity architectures along the B2B Buying Journey, from awareness content for early research to deep content from which LLMs can cite. You decide which topics to cover, which formats are needed, and what existing content must achieve.
• Steering content, not writing it: You brief our content team and our clients' subject matter experts, review against search intent and citability, and decide what gets published. You build content audits, identify cannibalization and substance gaps, and derive an editorial plan that will still be effective in six months. Others write the texts. You set the direction.
• Building AI Visibility: You work on consistent entity representation (structured data, sameAs, Wikidata, business directories), on citable content, and on presence in the sources from which LLMs actually cite.
• Making AI Visibility measurable: Prompt-set-based Share of Voice across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot, and Google AI Mode – including analysis of GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, and PerplexityBot accesses in logfiles. You separate referral traffic from generative sources as far as the data allows and openly document the limits of measurement.
• Audits with consequences: You conduct SEO and GEO audits, analyze competition and search intents, and derive prioritized measures that someone can start on Monday.
• Responsibility in retainer: You manage multiple client accounts in parallel, work within agreed hourly budgets, conduct monthly reporting calls and quarterly reviews, and flag scope issues early rather than late.
• Consulting at eye level: You present at management level, act as a sparring partner for marketing and digital responsible persons, and are not afraid to deliver the uncomfortable truth when a favorite KPI doesn't reflect the business.
• Shaping new business: You support pitches and proposals, realistically estimate effort, and bring your subject matter expertise into client discussions before the project starts.
• AI-native in your craft: You use LLMs and automation for analysis, content optimization, and reporting – and know where AI output requires expert review.
• Sharing knowledge: You coach colleagues and clients, work closely with content, performance, and your analytics counterpart, and document in a way that setups remain effective even after a handover.

• Experience with substance: At least 5 years in SEO – with genuine project responsibility, not just contributing. You have built setups that are still effective after you've handed over the project.
• Technical SEO is your home: You can audit a setup with a five-figure URL count and prioritize the findings. Search Console including API is your daily tool, along with Screaming Frog, logfiles, and one of the common suites (Sistrix, Semrush, or Ahrefs).
• Content competence at a steering level: You have been responsible for content strategies for complex B2B topics, including topic architecture, editorial planning, and quality assurance. You write briefs that an editor understands, review texts for search intent and citability, and recognize when a text is too thin to perform well in generative answers. You don't have to write yourself.
• GEO experience or GEO curiosity: You have already worked on AI visibility – or you have read up on it and experimented so seriously that you have a well-founded opinion. For example, on whether llms.txt is overrated. We don't expect five years of experience in a discipline that has only existed for two years.
• Data competence, without an analytics role: You can confidently read GA4 and Search Console, work with BigQuery exports, and formulate the measurements you need. Someone else will build them – but you know what you're ordering.
• B2B understanding: You know that a 9-month buying journey with six participants requires different answers than D2C e-commerce. Project experience in Manufacturing, Industrial Goods, Mechanical Engineering, or Wholesale is a plus.
• Analytical thinking with the courage to make a statement: You recognize patterns and dare to derive a clear recommendation from them – even if it's not the comfortable one.
• Communication: You explain to management why an entity structure is worth an investment. Confidently, without oversimplifying.
• Hands-on and patient with client reality: TYPO3 installations from 2014, an IT department that takes six weeks for a deployment, a CMS without access to the meta level. You know this and still work towards results. In case of ambiguities, you will proactively seek the necessary input from the team and then work independently and reliably.
• You master Excel with your eyes closed.
• Languages: Strong communication skills in German and proficiency in English.
