UpworkWe are hiring a highly motivated, execution-focused AI Recommendation Optimization Specialist to help our business consistently appear in AI-generated recommendations across platforms such as ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and other LLM-powered assistants.
This role focuses on how LLMs decide which businesses to mention, and executing the content, authority, and distribution strategies that influence those outcomes.

Long-form, short-form, and structured content sources
Reinforce consistent entity signals (brand, services, geography, expertise, leadership)
Optimize content for
Natural-language queries
Recommendation-style prompts
AI-friendly formats (FAQs, explainers, comparisons, “best of” content)
Identify where competitors appear in AI responses and close those gaps
Monitor AI outputs and continuously refine strategy based on real-world results
Required Experience
Demonstrated experience with AI visibility, SEO, digital authority, or content distribution
Clear understanding of
How LLMs are trained and retrieve information
How repetition, credibility, and semantic clarity affect AI recommendations
Differences between Google search rankings and AI-generated answers
Strong execution skills with the ability to move quickly
Excellent written and verbal English
Strongly Preferred
Direct experience optimizing for ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, or other AI search tools
Background in SEO, digital PR, or thought leadership campaigns
Experience in professional services or regulated industries
Familiarity with entity-based SEO, schema, or knowledge graph concepts
