SEO Content Writer

You know the drill. A brief that's three vague bullets, a word count due tomorrow, and a client who skims the first line and never reads the rest. You research it properly anyway, because you can't help yourself. Then it gets published, lands on page four, and nobody notices.
That's the grind most content jobs turn into. We built this one to be the opposite.
At Digital Shift, the writing is the product. Since 2007 we've helped home service businesses across Canada and the US win customers from search: plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians, remodelers, appliance repair shops, and the trades around them. We're hiring a full-time SEO Content Writer to do the work properly: research a topic until you own it, then write something that ranks and gets read. And you do it from home, on your own hours, not someone else's midnight.
You'll report to our Content Lead and work alongside our SEO and outreach team. The goal is simple: help our clients show up in search and sound like the local expert homeowners want to call. You'll do that through blog posts, service pages, and marketing copy worth reading.
What you'll do:
* Research industry topics and turn them into content ideas worth publishing
* Write structured drafts with a clear voice, real specifics, and no filler
* Come up with headlines and copy that earn the click without overpromising
* Hit your deadlines with accurate, well-researched work
* Use online project management tools to stay on top of several writing projects at once
* Work with the SEO and outreach team to deliver what each client needs
* Take creative briefs, handle edits, and get drafts to final approval
* Follow each client's editorial and SEO guidelines
What we're looking for
You'll need:
* 3+ years of full-time experience in content writing, communications, or a similar role
* Excellent written English, clean grammar, and a sharp eye for detail
* Strong writing skills: you can make an argument, use the right structure, and make people care
* Comfort using AI and LLM tools (like ChatGPT or Claude) for research and analysis
* Proven ability to handle competing deadlines without dropping quality
* A university degree or college diploma in Journalism, English, Communications, or a related field
Nice to have:
* Familiarity with on-page SEO practices and tools
* Experience writing home service content (plumbing, HVAC, electrical, remodeling, appliance). This one's a real asset.
* Google Analytics certification, which is helpful but not required
* Experience in an agency or a professional content team
The Setup
This is a full-time, remote role, and you'll work during your regular daytime hours. You'll need a reliable internet connection, a quiet place to focus, and the kind of self-direction that keeps work moving without someone looking over your shoulder. We stay in sync through team chat and project tools, so being responsive during your workday matters.
