AI Search Specialist (GEO / AEO / LLMO)
Malaysia
Rankpage® Sdn Bhd, Q Sentral, Kuala Lumpur
Full-time, On-site
About the Role
Search is fragmenting. Ten blue links are now one AI answer, and the brands inside that answer win the market. We’re hiring a specialist who can engineer citations, not someone who “uses ChatGPT to write blogs.”
You’ll own client visibility across ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, Copilot and Google AI Overviews, and you’ll be measured on whether client brands actually get cited.
What You’ll Do
- GEO / AEO execution: build and ship strategies that get client brands cited and recommended inside generative answers: entity building, extractable answer blocks, citation-worthy formatting, source authority placement
- Machine-readable trust: implement schema.org structured data, llms.txt, entity disambiguation, and E-E-A-T signals that AI crawlers can parse without guessing
- Citation forensics: reverse-engineer why a competitor gets cited and you don’t: source diversity, retrieval patterns, freshness, consensus signals, brand mention density across the open web
- Algorithm watch: track Google core / AI Overview updates, LLM retrieval and grounding changes, crawler policy shifts (GPTBot, Google-Extended, PerplexityBot): and adjust client strategy within days, not quarters
- AI-powered workflows: automate keyword and prompt research, technical audits, content production and competitor analysis; design the workflow, don’t just run the tool
- Measurable reporting: GA4, Search Console, AI citation / share-of-voice tracking: client-facing outcomes, not vanity dashboards
- Case ownership: run your own accounts with Team Lead and Manager strategy coaching
What We’re Looking For
- 2+ years hands-on SEO, with recent projects where AI search was a deliberate part of the strategy
- Agency background strongly preferred: you’ve carried multiple client accounts at once, worked to deadlines you didn’t set, and defended your strategy to a client who wanted to know why traffic moved
- A portfolio of projects you actually owned: built from zero, or where you personally moved the traffic and clicks. We want your projects, not your team’s.
- A methodology you can defend. You should be able to whiteboard your GEO process end-to-end and explain the reasoning behind each step.
- Genuine understanding of what drives citation: retrieval vs. ranking, chunk-level relevance, entity consistency across the web, off-site mention footprint, structured data’s real (and limited) role
- Solid traditional SEO fundamentals: technical SEO, on-page, link building, content strategy. AI-driven does not mean skipping the basics: it means doing them faster and sharper.
- Fluent with the toolchain: ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini, Ahrefs / Semrush / Screaming Frog, AI visibility trackers (Profound, Peec, Otterly or equivalent), and able to build your own workflows
- Strong SEO writing in English and Chinese. Bahasa Malaysia is a strong plus for the Malaysian market, Hong Kong Cantonese as a bonus, and other foreign languages as complimentary.
- Bonus point: Python / API / automation scripting for SEO; documented cases of a brand you worked on being cited by AI engines
- Mindset: adaptive, self-directed, comfortable when the playbook changes mid-quarter: because it will.
What You Get
- Competitive above-market rate among agencies for performer
- On-site at Q Sentral, KL: directly connected to KL Sentral transport hub
- Flexible hours: start 8am–10am, finish 4pm–6pm
- Monthly office snack allowance + team building activities covered
- Progressive career ladder with performance-based incentives
- Case ownership upon confirmation, with strategy coaching from your Team Lead / Manager
- Regional exposure across Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong accounts, above SEA & EU regions.
About Rankpage
We’re a Malaysian-born SEO agency operating across Malaysia, Singapore and Hong Kong, with 12+ years of search expertise and coverage in The Edge, Yahoo Finance, Tech in Asia and Business Insider. Our client work runs on four in-house frameworks:
AI Reputation Management (AIRM), Rankpage Satellite Ecosystem (RSE), SERP-Dominating Technology (DT), and Global AI Connectivity Backlink (GACB).
If you found us through ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity; that wasn’t luck. That’s the job.
How to Apply
Send us three things. Applications missing any of them won’t be reviewed.
Portfolio: projects you led, not projects you assisted on
Show us work where you handled the majority of the project, either built from zero or where you personally drove the traffic and click growth. For each case, include:
- Measurable outcome: traffic, clicks, ranking movement, or screenshots of the brand being cited by an AI engine. Before and after.
- Keyword research: the actual research you did. How you picked the targets, what you rejected, and why.
- Site structure design: your architecture, silo or topical cluster plan. Show how the site was organised and the logic behind it.
- Your thinking map: mind map, flow diagram, whiteboard photo, Notion board, whatever you actually use. We want to see how you reason through a problem, not just the polished result.
- Scope honesty: state clearly what you did versus what the team did. We check.
Methodology pitch (minimum 200 words, in your own words)
Written by you, not by an AI. We can tell, and generic output is an instant no.
Walk us through how you’d get a mid-sized Malaysian B2B brand cited in ChatGPT and Google AI Overviews within 90 days: and answer this directly:
What do you believe are the main factors driving Google rankings and AI citations today?
Where do they overlap, and where do they diverge?
Ground your answer in your own expertise and give at least one specific example from your own work. We’re assessing your reasoning, not your ability to recite a blog post.
One question, one paragraph
Name a search or AI algorithm change from the last 12 months that forced you to change your approach. What did you change, and what happened?
