About Lovingly
Lovingly helps independent florists win in their local markets while building a consumer brand that customers love returning to. We operate at the intersection of local commerce, technology, and emotionally meaningful moments.
We’re building systems, not one-off campaigns — and we use AI as a core part of how we operate, not as a buzzword.
Role Summary
We’re looking for an SEO Generalist who can own how Lovingly — and our florist partners — show up across search:
-
Local (maps, packs, listings)
-
Web (partner sites + lovingly.com)
-
Emerging AI assistants and answer engines
This is not a narrow “SEO specialist” role focused on one site or one channel. You’ll define standards, drive execution through others, and personally ship work that moves the numbers.
You won’t be fighting to convince people SEO matters. You’ll be designing and running the system that proves it.
