We are an upstart tiger sanctuary focused on grassroots fundraising. Most of our charitable activities currently occur online, while we work to raise enough funds to buy land. As such, it is extremely important that we optimize our website as well as possible.
The directors do not have expertise in SEO, although we have tried to optimize to the best of our limited ability within our limited available time frames. However, we must admit that it is not a good use of our time to grapple with the nuanced challenges associated with SEO. This became especially clear after working with an SEO expert who was giving us advice. We simply couldn't execute the advice in a timely manner and there is too much to do.
Our main goals are to make sure our website has the highest possible SEO ratings across all search engines (emphasis on Google if it needs to be prioritized) and decrease our website/picture/video/article loading times (if you know how -- if not, it isn't an essential qualification or duty). Additionally, if you believe it would be possible to quickly make a cheatsheet of how to best ensure SEO is optimized as new articles are loaded onto the website so as to decrease future SEO fixing time, we would love to be able to give such a resource to our website manager.
SEO is a never-ending process, from what I understand, so we're mostly looking for you to make a dent to the best of your ability so that the next volunteer has less work to do. We do ask that if you accept the position, and find you no longer have the time to devote to it, that you let us know quickly so that we can begin searching for a replacement.
ALSO, our website is on WordPress. We use Yoast's free SEO tool, but it isn't exactly ideal. We're open to buying paid plugins if you need them to effectively do the job, but we prefer to keep costs as minimal as possible if there is an equally as effective way to get the job done without spending money.
We're looking for someone who can contribute between 5-10 hours a week for a minimum of 4 weeks, but obviously, you're welcome to stay on for as long as you'd like.
