German SEO & Link Building Specialist

Remote, anywhere Contractor Flexible hours Native or fluent German

We run a portfolio of our own websites in SaaS, social media services, and fintech and lending, and we're expanding into German-speaking markets: Germany, Austria and Switzerland. You own organic growth there, from on-page SEO to getting German-language placements live.

What you'll do

Own organic growth for our German-language sites and pages
Keyword research in German, based on how people there actually search, not translated English keywords
On-page and technical SEO: titles and meta, internal linking, hreflang, indexing, site structure
Review and improve German content, and brief writers
Find and vet German-language publishers, negotiate sponsored and guest posts, and get them live and indexed
Spot parasite SEO opportunities: high-authority German sites where a post can rank on its own
Propose what to buy and why. We approve the spend and pay the publishers.
Report what moved and why, using Google Search Console and Ahrefs

What we need to see

Native or fully fluent German. Your copy and outreach emails read naturally to German readers.
Case studies. This is non-negotiable. German-language sites you personally grew, with Search Console or Ahrefs screenshots and a clear explanation of what you did. Expect us to verify it, for example over a screen share.
Placements you've secured on German-language sites: live URLs, not a description of your process
Comfort with grey niches. Plenty of publishers refuse lending or social media growth sites, or charge extra for them. You know how to work around that.
Hands-on with Ahrefs and Google Search Console
Good English, since that's how we'll work together

What we don't care about

Where you live, your degree, how many years you've been in the industry, or how polished your CV is. If you've got nothing to show, don't apply. If you've got great results and no CV, apply anyway.

Pay and terms

A monthly contractor rate that depends on what your case studies and placements show, so tell us what you expect. Placement costs are separate: we pay publishers directly. You invoice monthly as a contractor. Hours are flexible: we judge the work, not the time.
