About the Role
The search landscape is evolving rapidly. As AI-driven answers increasingly dominate top search results and user reliance on LLMs expands, search engines and AI platforms prioritize sites that deliver exceptional speed, robust structure, and high domain and topical authority. Consequently, a strong technical foundation plays a critical role in ensuring key web pages are efficiently crawled, accurately interpreted, ranked, and cited. In this environment, a solid technical foundation is essential—it determines whether a website's key pages are effectively crawled, understood, ranked, and referenced.
As a Senior Technical SEO Specialist at Motive, you'll be a core stakeholder in the technical health and structure of our web presence. You'll lead our technical SEO program end to end, from site health & architecture to international SEO and new page launches, as well as incorporate emerging technical AEO/GEO best practices into web structure. You'll also use AI-assisted workflows to find and prioritize the work that will have the most business impact. You'll partner closely with Web Strategy, Web Engineering, Content, Product Marketing, and Growth Marketing. You'll also work alongside teammates focused on content SEO and AI search, so that technical, content, and AI-search work reinforce each other.
What You'll Do
- Lead execution for Motive's technical SEO program, conducting recurring audits covering crawlability, indexation, rendering, redirects, canonical tags, internal link structures, structured data, and page quality.
- Use and help improve AI-assisted workflows that turn crawl and search performance data into a clear, prioritized list of fixes, with human judgment applied before anything ships.
- Make sure priority pages can be accessed, understood, and cited by AI answer engines, covering AI crawler access rules, server-side rendering of key content, structured data, entity signals, and page structure that's easy to extract.
