About this role Omniscient Digital is growing, and we're looking for a freelance Japanese-speaking Growth Strategist to support our organic growth initiatives in Japanese-language markets. This is a freelance role focused on keyword research, content brief development, and visibility in AI search (GEO/AEO) for B2B SaaS clients.
You must be fully fluent in Japanese and able to conduct keyword research, analyze SERPs/prompts, and produce detailed content briefs that reflect native-level understanding of search intent and language nuance.
Please note: We do not work with strategists who subcontract their work.
What you'll do
- Conduct keyword research for Japanese-language markets, identifying high-intent opportunities aligned with client business goals.
- Analyze Japanese SERPs (Google and Yahoo! JAPAN) and to understand the competitive landscape, content gaps, and ranking factors.
- Research how Japanese-language prompts surface brands in AI search, including Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini, and identify where clients are cited, missing, or misrepresented.
- Develop detailed content briefs that guide writers on structure, intent, keyword usage, and differentiation.
- Build briefs that make content easy for AI systems to extract and cite: clear answers to the questions buyers ask, well-structured comparisons, and specific, verifiable claims.
- Collaborate with account leads to ensure keyword strategies align with broader client objectives.
- Apply SEO best practices while accounting for Japanese search behavior and linguistic nuance, including variation across kanji, katakana, and romanized terms.
- Meet deadlines (typically 48–72 hours per deliverable) while maintaining high standards.
- Communicate proactively on workload, blockers, and capacity.
Who you are
- Fluent in Japanese (native or near-native), with strong understanding of how Japanese buyers search and consume B2B content.
- 2+ years of experience in SEO, keyword research, or content strategy—ideally for B2B or SaaS audiences.
- Comfortable with keyword research tools (Ahrefs or similar).
- You understand search intent and can translate keyword data into actionable briefs.
- Familiar with how AI search engines select and cite sources, or keen to learn fast. Experience testing Japanese prompts across LLMs is a strong plus.
- Detail-oriented and reliable—you hit deadlines and flag issues early.
- Self-directed and comfortable working remotely with async communication.
Portfolio Requirement Please submit 2–3 examples of keyword research deliverables, content briefs, or AI search visibility work you've created. Japanese-language samples preferred. English samples are acceptable if you can demonstrate Japanese market fluency.
Compensation Our rate for this work is $35 USD per hour (or per-deliverable pricing available depending on scope).
