• Experimentation & A/B Testing: Design and execute experiments to test hypotheses related to GEO and AEO, measuring the impact of various content and technical optimizations on AI-driven visibility and engagement.

General SEO & Content Management

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with Brand, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, and Creative teams to align content with company messaging and brand guidelines, extending our reach into AI-driven channels.

Document best practices for maximizing SEO in an AI-first world.
• Content Management: Build, publish, and maintain website content within the CMS, ensuring accuracy, consistency, and optimization across metadata, URLs, and image properties to maximize performance and discoverability.
