At idealo, we've built a strong SEO foundation. Now, we're looking to take the next step. As AI-powered search experiences such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, and Gemini increasingly influence how people research products and make purchasing decisions, we want to ensure idealo becomes a trusted and frequently cited source within these new shopping journeys.
As our GEO Manager , you'll take ownership of developing Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) as an additional growth discipline alongside our established SEO activities. Combining your technical SEO expertise with hands-on experience in AI search optimization, you'll develop our GEO strategy, establish meaningful visibility monitoring, and drive experimentation to understand what makes content and data discoverable, relevant, and citable by generative AI systems.
You'll work closely with our SEO team and collaborate across Product, Engineering, Content, Brand, and Communications to turn emerging opportunities into scalable solutions.
