Extra +1 if you would create a separate SEO page template for each group.

Your role will be
SEO Landing Pages Specialist for
GemBox and
TestDome, sister companies with shared management, but separate products. Both companies are small, fully-remote, and get the majority of customers via SEO. We follow agile style, prefer documentation over chat, and aim for async communication (our employees are distributed from Brazil to Australia).
GemBox is a B2D (business to developers) company, selling .NET developers APIs for exporting and importing data. Some of our customers include Microsoft, Xerox, and NASA. GemBox landing pages include
product pages, hundreds of
example articles, and
a forum.
Both companies have the same problem: we don’t give enough love to existing landing pages. Josip and Zel are busy with management, Emily is busy writing targeted content. We have thousands of programmatic SEO pages now and some of them are not performing. For example, the
SQL online test is 1st on Google, while a similar
numerical reasoning test is 18th. Why?
Your job will be to nurture existing SEO content, analyze visitor behaviour and competition, and make bold A/B experiments. We are data-driven and use A/B tests.
After you improve existing SEO content, you will get a bump in salary and a task to create hundreds and hundreds of new programmatic SEO pages. For example, GemBox is launching a product called
DocBlender.com in summer 2021. SEO for target keywords should already be working by then.
