{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"JobPosting","title":"Hiring SEO Specialist in Ontario","description":"

AppLabx is expanding its digital footprint across the Canadian market. As we move into 2025, the landscape of search engine algorithms is shifting toward deep intent, semantic search, and hyper-local relevance. We are seeking a technical and strategic SEO Specialist to spearhead our organic growth initiatives, specifically focusing on helping Ontario-based enterprises dominate their local search landscapes.

In this role, you will not simply be managing keywords; you will be architecting digital authority. You will bridge the gap between high-level content strategy and deep technical optimization, ensuring that our clients' digital assets are perfectly indexed, highly authoritative, and conversion-oriented.

Your core responsibilities will include:
- Conducting comprehensive technical SEO audits using Screaming Frog and Ahrefs to identify and resolve crawlability, indexability, and site architecture issues.
- Developing and executing localized SEO strategies tailored to the Ontario market, focusing on Google Business Profile optimization and local citation consistency.
- Implementing advanced schema markup (JSON-LD) to enhance rich snippet visibility and improve click-through rates across SERPs.
- Managing end-to-end keyword research-driven content roadmaps, aligning semantic search trends with user intent to capture high-value organic traffic.
- Analyzing complex datasets in Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Search Console to derive actionable insights and report on ROI-driven KPIs.
- Collaborating with web developers to optimize Core Web Vitals, specifically focusing on Largest Contentful Paint (LCP) and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS).
- Monitoring competitor backlink profiles and executing white-hat link-building campaigns to increase domain authority.
- Coordinating with content creators to ensure all published material adheres to E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness) guidelines.

Our work environment is built on autonomy and data-driven decision-making. We do not believe in vanity metrics; we focus on organic conversions and revenue impact. You will have the freedom to experiment with emerging search technologies, including AI-driven search generative experiences (SGE), provided your hypotheses are backed by data.

To succeed in this position, you must possess:
- Proven experience managing SEO campaigns for multi-location businesses or regional service providers.
- Mastery of industry-standard tools: SEMrush, Ahrefs, Google Search Console, and Screaming Frog.
- A deep understanding of technical SEO, including site speed optimization, canonicalization, and mobile-first indexing.
- Proficiency in CMS platforms, specifically WordPress and Shopify, including how SEO affects site structure.
- Strong analytical skills with the ability to translate raw data into executive-level reports.
- Familiarity with HTML/CSS as it pertains to SEO implementation.

We offer a competitive compensation package reflective of the Ontario market, along with opportunities for professional development through advanced SEO certifications and attendance at major digital marketing conferences. As we scale our operations in 2025, successful candidates will have a clear path toward a Senior Strategist or SEO Manager role.

Our hiring process consists of three distinct stages:
1. An initial screening call to discuss your experience with technical SEO and past campaign successes.
2. A practical assessment involving a brief audit of a provided website URL.
3. A final interview with our digital strategy lead to discuss long-term growth and integration into the AppLabx ecosystem.
