Why You’ll Love Working With Us

- You’ll work closely with a collaborative team that cares about driving real, revenue-generating results for our clients.
Responsibilities
- Qualitative Review & Approval

- Team Coordination
- Communicate clear feedback and direction to backlink builders and vendors.
- Track approved links to ensure they go live correctly and stay live.

- Work within budget constraints while maintaining top-tier link quality.
Our Minimum Link Requirements
- Domain Rating (DR): 30+
- Geography & Traffic: U.S.-based sites with 1,000+ monthly organic visitors
- Page Relevance: The specific page you’re linking from must receive traffic and be contextually relevant to the client’s niche
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: Proven track record managing backlinks, vetting link prospects, and overseeing outreach or vendor relationships
- Tools: Comfortable with Ahrefs, Semrush, or similar SEO/link-analysis platforms
- Communication: Fluent in English (native speaker preferred), with excellent written and verbal skills
- Organization: Highly reliable, consistent, and detail-oriented in meeting monthly quotas
- Judgment: Strong decision-making skills, knowing which opportunities to approve and which to pass on
Schedule & Availability
Full-Time: Approximately 35–40 hours per week, results-based with flexible scheduling.
Core Check-In Windows:
- Monday–Thursday: You must be logged in for at least 3 hours each day within a 2:00 PM–8:00 PM EST window. (United States Eastern Time Zone)
- Friday: Fully flexible, choose your hours to complete your weekly quota.
- Daily Logging: While your overall schedule is flexible, you’re expected to log a full workday (your choice of hours) to ensure consistent collaboration and availability.
