About this role
🌍 Remote · Freelance · Ongoing monthly work
🦚 About MarketFully Group
We’re a content agency helping global brands create and localise search focused content across languages and markets. We work with in house marketing teams to deliver content that’s accurate, on brand, and built to rank.
👇 The opportunity
Know how Malaysians really search? We’re looking for a Malay SEO specialist to join a long term project with a global automotive and mobility technology brand.
The client’s blog articles start life in US English, each with its own SEO brief. You’ll turn those into Malaysia ready briefs, so the localised articles rank with Malay searchers rather than just reading well. It’s steady, flexible work that fits neatly alongside an in house role or other clients.
✍️ What you’ll do
Research keywords and search intent for the Malaysian market
Build SEO briefs from an existing US brief and blog post, covering keywords, headings, meta details and other on page elements
Adapt terminology to how Malaysians actually search, rather than translating the US keywords
Deliver around 15 briefs a month. Most take 30 to 60 minutes each
Cover mobility and automotive topics for a consumer audience
👀 What we’re looking for
Native level Malay, based in Malaysia, with strong knowledge of local search behaviour
At least 2 years of SEO experience. You understand keyword research, search intent and on page structure, not just rankings reports
Hands on experience with SEMrush, Ahrefs or a similar tool, with a current subscription
Automotive or mobility experience is a bonus
Reliable turnaround on agreed deadlines

👏 How to apply
Send your CV and, if you have them, a couple of examples of SEO briefs or keyword research you’ve worked on. The project kicks off in November, so we’re reviewing applications now.
