WordPress + Technical SEO Specialist (Post-Migration Recovery Project)

We’re looking for a technical SEO specialist with strong WordPress experience to fix a ranking drop caused by a website migration (Squarespace ? WordPress).

This is NOT ongoing SEO.
This is a one-time project focused on identifying and fixing structural and technical issues.

We are not looking for someone to “run SEO.”
We are looking for someone who can diagnose and fix what broke.

Scope of Work:
• Audit post-migration SEO issues
• Identify and fix redirect issues (301s, broken URLs, etc.)
• Restore and optimize key pages (structure, metadata, headers)
• Rebuild internal linking
• Fix sitemap and indexing issues
• Ensure proper crawlability and site structure

What We’re Looking For:
• Proven experience with SEO migrations and recovery
• Strong understanding of technical SEO (not just content)
• Hands-on experience with WordPress (themes, plugins, redirects)
• Ability to think and diagnose, not just follow tasks
• Clear communication and ability to work within milestones
