SEO Outreach & Link Building Specialist for ApplyAZ Inc.

ApplyAZ Inc. helps international students apply to Italy’s public universities. We’re looking for a freelance SEO outreach specialist to run publisher outreach and earn high-quality backlinks to our study-in-Italy resources. The goal is to grow relevant organic search traffic, particularly from students and families in India.

What you’ll do
• Build a vetted list of reputable education and study-abroad publishers and resource sites. For each prospect, show why the site and the proposed linking page fit our audience, and check its editorial standards and search visibility.
• Find the right editors or resource owners, write personalized pitches, follow up, and manage replies. Pitch resources that give their readers a reason to link, such as our guides to studying in Italy, English-taught degrees, admissions and DSU scholarships.
• Earn contextual editorial links from relevant, publicly accessible pages on education and study-abroad sites only. Exclude unrelated sites, link farms, private blog networks, bulk link packages, and paid links or exchanges intended to influence rankings.
• Send a weekly report with outreach status and verified live links. Include the linking page, ApplyAZ destination, anchor text, link attribute, and date verified. Track referral visits and organic search trends for the pages receiving links where data is available.

In your proposal, share two or three live education or study-abroad backlinks you personally earned, what you did to secure them, and any results you can share. Briefly explain how you vet publishers, then outline your proposed first month of outreach and fee.
