Skills

The skills seo specialist postings ask for

These are the terms the seo specialist sample posting in SwitchWithAI’s role library lists, from the same library its ATS checker compares a resume against. Put the ones you really have where your work shows them, not only in a skills list.

Skills for every role in the library, side by side, are on skills for resume.

What a seo specialist recruiter reads first

Marketing recruiters look for channels and numbers together: which channel, what budget or audience, and what it returned. Tool names (Google Ads, GA4, SEMrush, HubSpot) are searched directly.

Mistakes to avoid

  • "Managed social media" with no account size or result.
  • Vanity metrics only (likes) where a business metric exists.
  • Leaving out the tools, which are what recruiters search for.

A bullet pattern that works

Ran [channel] campaigns for [product / audience] on [budget], growing [leads / traffic / sales] by [X%] in [time].

A pattern, not an example to copy: fill each bracket with something you really did, or leave it out.

Or paste one of your own lines below and get three stronger versions for a seo specialist role.

You get three rewrites: concise, impact and ownership. It never invents a number: where one would help, you get a [placeholder] to fill in with your own.
