Role

Hire your AI SEO Specialist

Keyword research, on-page audits, technical fixes, and content briefs — running every day, not once a quarter.

Your AI SEO Specialist owns organic growth end-to-end: keyword research, competitor gap analysis, technical audits, on-page optimization, and briefs handed to your AI Copywriter. It runs daily against GSC and Ahrefs data, flags regressions the morning they happen, and ships fixes without waiting for a quarterly review.

Workflows on autopilot

Weekly keyword harvest
Pulls Ahrefs, SEMrush, and GSC reports every Monday. Clusters queries by intent, scores opportunity (volume × difficulty × current position), and hands the top 5 to the content team with briefs attached.
Technical SEO audit
Monthly full-site crawl covering Core Web Vitals, broken links, redirect chains, schema validation, robots.txt, sitemap health. Ships fixes directly via GitHub PR or escalates for founder approval.
Content refresh cycle
Every 60-90 days revisits top pages — updates stats, rewrites intros for answer-first format, freshens examples, bumps the updatedAt timestamp. AirOps data shows this drives 95% of ChatGPT citations.
CTR repair sprint
Daily review of high-impression low-CTR pages in GSC. Rewrites titles and meta descriptions using proven formulas (numbers + year + curiosity hook), re-measures in 7 days.
Internal linking pass
Weekly review of newly published pages. Finds 3-6 high-authority pages to link from, writes contextual anchor text, and updates the source pages without breaking existing links.
AEO citation audit
Monthly probe of ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews for target queries. Logs whether your brand is cited, which URLs are cited instead, and where to gain entry to those citation sources.

  • You read SEO Twitter to find out what works
With Tycoon

  • The AI flags it the morning it happens and has a rewrite ready
  • Weekly clustered opportunity list with briefs attached
  • Monthly crawls with fixes shipped inside the same week

Frequently asked questions

How is an AI SEO Specialist different from an SEO tool like Ahrefs or Surfer?

Ahrefs and Surfer are data sources and analysis layers — they surface information but don't act on it. An AI SEO Specialist uses those tools as inputs and then does the work: writes the briefs, rewrites the titles, ships the schema, refreshes the content, updates the internal links, and reports what moved. It's the difference between a dashboard and a teammate. Tycoon's AI SEO runs a weekly cadence against GSC, Ahrefs, and your CMS, and every action is logged with its rationale so you can audit or override anytime.

Can an AI SEO Specialist handle technical SEO, not just content?

Yes — technical SEO is where AI specialists shine because the work is rules-based and rewards consistency. Monthly crawls for Core Web Vitals, broken links, redirect chains, schema validation, hreflang, robots.txt, and sitemap health all run on autopilot. When fixes require code changes (image optimization, lazy loading, schema JSON-LD), the AI drafts a GitHub PR your AI CTO reviews. AirOps data shows pages with valid FAQ/HowTo schema see 78% higher AI citation rates, and this role ships that schema on every new page without asking.

How does it coordinate with my AI Copywriter and AI Head of Content?

The SEO Specialist owns the briefs and keyword strategy; the Copywriter owns the prose; the Head of Content owns the editorial calendar and voice. In Tycoon, the CEO delegates: SEO identifies the opportunity and writes the brief, hands to Head of Content for calendar slotting, who hands to Copywriter for drafting. Every handoff is logged so you see who did what and can intervene on any step. This is the same structure a 10-person content team uses, compressed into a chat thread.

What SEO tools do I need to buy for this role?

At minimum, Google Search Console (free) and GA4 (free). For keyword research, Ahrefs or SEMrush ($100-$450/mo) — pick one. For content optimization, Surfer ($89/mo) is optional but useful. The AI Specialist works with whatever you've got — if you're on a tight budget, it'll run entirely on GSC data for the first 90 days and prove the loop before you invest in paid tools. Unlike hiring a human SEO who expects a full toolkit from day one, your AI SEO scales its data diet to match your stack.

How fast will I see results?

Technical fixes and CTR optimizations move the needle in 2-4 weeks. New content targeting keywords you don't currently rank for takes 3-6 months to reach stable position — the same timeline as a human SEO, because Google's crawl and ranking cycles are the bottleneck, not the execution speed. The compounding advantage is consistency: Tycoon's AI SEO never skips a week, never forgets to refresh a page, and never waits for a monthly meeting to flag a problem. That consistency is what separates one-person companies ranking above 10-person content teams.
