Context

Netenders, a leading e-commerce agent is growing. Our brands need to grow their organic visibility internationally. As part of our expansion across the Dutch and German-speaking markets, we're looking for a freelance SEO Project Manager to lead operationally the search strategy on both regions, from diagnosis to execution, and crucially, with a sharp focus on measurable business impact.

Your mission

- Lead SEO projects across the NL and DE markets: technical, semantic and editorial audits.

- Define and prioritize on-page, off-page and technical recommendations (indexing, Core Web Vitals, structured data JSON-LD / schema.org) by business impact, not just by volume of opportunities.

- Build localized content strategy: beyond translation, a genuine cultural and linguistic adaptation of search intent specific to each market.

- Integrate GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) considerations: optimizing for answer engines and generative AI (AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity…).

- Own ROI-driven performance tracking: connect SEO/GEO actions to concrete business outcomes (qualified traffic, conversions, revenue, pipeline), set up KPIs and attribution,



and report on return on investment per market.

- Build clear, decision-oriented reporting via Search Console, GA4, Looker Studio and rank-tracking tools, dashboards that tie effort to value, not vanity metrics.

- Coordinate stakeholders: copywriters, translators, developers and local market leads.

Profile we're looking for

- Proven SEO experience (ideally 3+ years), with strong multilingual / multi-market sensitivity.

- Fluent in Dutch and German; a fine-grained understanding of local search behavior is a decisive advantage.

- Solid technical SEO and structured data skills.

- Familiarity with GEO / generative search developments.

- A results-oriented, ROI-first mindset: comfortable defining KPIs, measuring impact, and arbitrating priorities based on expected return.

- Proficiency with GSC, GA4, Screaming Frog (or equivalent), Looker Studio, rank tracking.

- Autonomy, rigor and strong prioritization.

Nice to have

- Knowledge of other markets (FR, EN, IT, ES).

- International e-commerce experience.

- A feel for cultural SEO (the intersection of language, cognition and search behavior).

Terms

- Status: freelance / independent (invoices).

- Day rate: €40/h

- Location: fully remote.

- Volume: 15-20h per week.
