A note from the founder
Organic traffic is the most durable customer acquisition channel a workforce strategy firm can own.
The Wilkinson Firm has three sites with growing intent. thewilkinsonfirm.com, hr.thewilkinsonfirm.com, hospitality.thewilkinsonfirm.com. We have founder content, real client positioning, and zero dedicated SEO discipline applied.
We need an SEO performance contractor who can build the keyword strategy, audit and fix on-page, ship content briefs, track rankings, and translate traffic into pipeline.
This is a performance role with a clear climb. Modest retainer at start. Real upside as the math compounds.

Keyword strategy by vertical: workforce strategy, behavioral health workforce, hospitality staffing, MBE professional services, government contracting workforce
On-page optimization: title tags, meta descriptions, schema, internal linking
Technical SEO: Core Web Vitals, crawl, sitemap, robots, structured data
Content brief authorship for blog and resource hub pages
Monthly ranking and traffic reporting
Pipeline attribution: which organic visits convert to inbound conversations
