- Profile - SEO Manager
- Role - Full-time
- Grade - Manager / Sr. Manager
- Location - Bengaluru
- Work Mode - Work from Office
- Work Hours - Mon to Fri

Why this role exists : Search is changing faster than any single specialist can keep up with. Rankings still matter, but a growing share of the buyer's research now ends inside an AI answer that cites three or four providers and links to none of the rest. We need one person who owns the full picture across classic SEO, answer-engine optimisation (AEO) and generative-engine optimisation (GEO), sets the strategy, and leads the people who carry it out.

What you will own :

Strategy and the organic number

- Own the SEO and AEO strategy and roadmap for wishup.co, prioritised by commercial impact.
- Own a pipeline target, not a traffic target: qualified leads, sales-accepted leads and closed clients from organic search and AI answers.
- Decide what gets a service page, what gets a blog post and what gets nothing. Build out commercial-intent architecture: services, roles, industries, use cases, locations, comparisons, and alternatives.
- Run keyword and topic research grounded in real demand.

Answer engines (AEO / GEO)

- Make Wishup the provider AI assistants name and cite when buyers ask about virtual and executive assistants.
- Track AI visibility and share of voice across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and AI Mode against named competitors, and explain why a competitor is cited when we are not.
- Shape the content, entity signals,



structured data, and third-party presence (reviews, directories, forums, publications) that answer engines draw from.

Technical SEO

- Own crawlability, indexation, sitemaps, redirects, canonicals, internal linking, Core Web Vitals and schema across the site.
- Write tickets engineering can act on, agree priorities with them, and follow fixes through to release.

Content quality and on-page

- Set the editorial standard for SEO content: briefs, structure, E-E-A-T, original data and expert input, and factual accuracy on anything regulatory or claims-based.
- Make internal linking, schema, and on-page checks part of publishing rather than a clean-up job afterwards.
- Plan output against what the team can realistically produce at quality, and refresh or consolidate before adding more pages.

Authority and off-page

- Build links and mentions that matter in the B2B services space through digital PR, partnerships, review platforms and expert contributions.

Measurement

- Report organic performance through to the CRM: which pages and queries produce leads, which of those leads become clients, and how long that takes.
- Diagnose drops properly. Separate algorithm updates, demand shifts, AI cannibalisation, technical faults and tracking breaks before deciding what to do.
- Work with our analytics owner on Search Console, GA4, tag management and CRM attribution so organic leads are counted correctly.

Leading and growing the team

- Manage the SEO team day-to-day: weekly priorities, a clear owner for every page category and workstream, and a working rhythm the whole team can rely on.
- Give each person a development plan and a path towards a specialism (technical, content, AEO or off-page), with regular one-to-ones and honest feedback.

Working across the business

- Partner with content and copy, design, engineering, paid media (shared keyword and landing-page learnings), lifecycle and sales (lead quality and the questions buyers actually ask).
- Bring a short, clear organic update to the Head of Marketing and leadership: what moved, why,



and what we are doing next.

How success is measured - MEASURE WHAT IT MEANS HERE

Organic pipeline - Qualified leads and closed clients from organic and AI referrals.

AI share of voice - How often Wishup is mentioned and cited for a fixed set of buyer prompts, compared with competitors.

Commercial visibility - Rankings, impressions and clicks on priority commercial queries.

Site health - Indexation coverage, crawl errors, orphan pages, and Core Web Vitals held within agreed limits.

Team health - Clear ownership, delivery against plan, and team members growing in scope and skill.

What you bring :

Must have

- 5-8 years in SEO, including at least 2 years managing SEO specialists or writers directly.
- Experience growing organic leads for a B2B services, SaaS, or other lead-generation business, ideally selling to international markets.
- Strong technical SEO: crawling and indexing, JavaScript rendering, structured data, and site architecture.
- Hands-on AEO / GEO work, with examples of what you changed and what happened to AI visibility afterwards.
- Daily fluency in Google Search Console and GA4, plus tools such as Ahrefs or Semrush and Screaming Frog or Sitebulb.
- Regular use of AI tools to speed up research, briefs, and content operations without lowering quality.
- The habit of tying SEO work to leads and revenue, and the honesty to say when a result is noise.
- Clear written and spoken English; you can brief writers, write engineering tickets, and present to leadership.
- A coaching style of management. You get more done through your team than on your own.

Positive to have

- Programmatic SEO at scale with templates and structured data.
- Headless or API-driven CMS experience.
- Comfort with SQL, Python, or Looker Studio for your own analysis.
- Digital PR or link earning with international publications.

Probably not a fit if

- You measure success mainly in traffic and keyword counts.
- Your main lever is publishing more articles.
- You prefer to work as an individual contributor rather than develop a team.

Hiring process :

1. Introductory call with the Talent team.
2. Conversation with Sumit Singhal, Head of Marketing.
3. Take-home exercise: a short SEO and AEO diagnosis of wishup.co with your top priorities.
4. Panel: Walk through the exercise with marketing and a member of the SEO team.
5. Founder conversation and offer.
