Role Summary

Search is changing faster than it has in 20 years. Google is no longer the only front door to health information — ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews are rapidly replacing traditional results with AI-generated answers that cite a small, curated set of sources. Today, when people ask AI platforms about Dr. Berg, we are frequently ignored or replaced by other health influencers. That is the problem you are here to solve.

We are hiring a part-time AI Search & SEO Strategist to own the visibility, authority, and organic performance of DrBerg.com and Shop.DrBerg.com across both traditional search and AI-powered discovery platforms. This role is central to a new AI content pipeline scaling article production to 40–60+ pieces per month, and it has direct executive support from Dr. Berg himself.

You will lead a two-front program: (1) establish Dr. Berg as a consistently cited authority on AI platforms, and (2) maintain the technical and organic SEO foundation on Google that makes that possible. You will work directly with Dr. Berg on strategy and with a medical reviewer and a network of MD co-authors to build the verifiable expertise signals that AI platforms reward.
