Amelia
AI Agent Developer
“I have been building AI agents for years. Thanks to Shakers I stopped chasing clients and started genuinely choosing which projects I wanted to work on. I work with some of the best companies in Europe, at my own rate, and I focus on what I am good at and what I love: building.”

Luz
Backend Developer & Data Engineer
“Shakers adds a lot of value because it connects you with sharper projects, already filtered and better defined. It saves you a big part of the upfront work of understanding the client, quoting and weighing up whether it is worth it, and that means that as a contractor you can go far more directly to the opportunities that genuinely fit you.”

Rubén
Software Developer
“Life as a contractor has a lot going on and it is not always easy. We like to focus on what we are good at, but you also have to manage clients, invoicing and go looking for work. For me, Shakers has been key because it does that prospecting for me, it gives the client confidence from the very first moment, and it lets us be part of a community with real enthusiasm.”

“Shakers was key to getting my company off the ground: it gave me the flexibility to keep contracting while I built my next chapter. Without Shakers, I would have had to raise funding or push the project back.”

Join ShakersThe decisions an SEO Consultant makes every week
An SEO consultant audits, strategises and executes a site's organic visibility: technical SEO (crawling, indexing, architecture), keyword research, content, authority and measurement in Search Console and GA4, with local and ecommerce SEO as extensions of the same craft.
Their boundary: the SEO writer produces the content the strategy defines; the copywriter writes to convert; the SEM specialist buys the visibility. The organic strategy is theirs.
You decide what gets audited first, whether the problem is technical or search intent, and which query gets chased with new content. You also decide what does not get done: a keyword that brings no business gets discarded with an argument, and stopping the report nobody will run is part of the job. The ordering strategy is yours.

What an SEO Consultant delivers on a Shakers project
The engagement arrives with a question
The query that will not rise, the page that will not index or the traffic that does not convert: a strategy problem, not a keyword list.
Diagnosis with a plan
Technical audit, content architecture and authority, every action prioritised by impact and measured in Search Console and GA4.
The tools of the craft
Ahrefs, SEMrush and Screaming Frog to audit; Looker Studio so the business reads what happens; GEO when the engagement asks.
Cases with data, not reports
Having moved queries on live sites and knowing how to tell it: what got audited, what got prioritised, which evidence proves it.
Deciding is also discarding
Choosing between the keyword the client asks for and the fix that frees the site. Sometimes not publishing wins, and defending it with data is the craft.
Where your engagement ends
The organic strategy is yours; optimised content belongs to the SEO writer and the paid channel to the SEM specialist. If the engagement crosses, you say so.
Frequently asked questions
Any other questions? Write to us and we will reply.
What does an SEO Consultant do on a real project?
They audit and decide the organic strategy: technical, content and authority, measured in Search Console and GA4. One week it is the crawl that fails, another a whole section and its search intent.
Can you make a living from contract SEO in Spain?
Yes, and employment backs it: a dozen active ads in Spain title SEO Specialist and none title 'redactor SEO' (n=31,957, September 2026). The salaried role lives in companies; this is the new door.
Is an SEO without GEO worth less?
Same worth today, more tomorrow: Spanish employment already retitles the role 'SEO and GEO Specialist'. Learn the specialisation with judgement; ignoring the map is what costs.
Marketplace, own site or talent route?
The personal site leaves you alone facing the buyer; the usual platforms mix the craft into generic marketing. The talent route certifies your level and brings engagements with defined scope.
How much to charge as a contract SEO Consultant?
The mechanism marks it: audit scope, technical or content share, continuity or closed project, seniority and whether GEO comes in. At Shakers you agree the budget per engagement before accepting.
How do I join Shakers as a certified SEO Consultant?
You create your profile, pass the certification process and join the collective: thousands apply every year, only 4% pass. After that you choose which sites get your judgement.
The daily shape of the craft
The audit that orders the backlog, the keyword that gets discarded because it brings no business and the report the committee finally understands. Between deliverables, the invisible work: convincing the business that ranking is a profit-and-loss account, not a drawer.
A title employment keeps retitling
A dozen active ads in Spain title SEO Specialist, several already add GEO to the name and none title 'redactor SEO': that trade lives in the Spanish project market (Shakers market analysis, n=31,957, September 2026). The salaried version lives in companies; the by-project door was barely open.
What this role is not
You are not the SEO writer: you produce the strategy, and optimised content has a row of its own. You are not the copywriter: you chase the query, not the conversion. Organic territory, technical and authority, is yours.
Who you share an SEO project with
Organic visibility does not live alone: whoever builds the site and whoever measures cross your strategy in every engagement.
WordPress Developer
The ground where Spanish SMB SEO gets played: when the engagement needs the theme or the plugin touched, their row builds what your strategy asks.
Data Analyst
GA4 and Looker Studio count what your strategy moves: when the engagement needs attribution and dashboards the whole team reads, data enters their row.
Frontend Developer
Core Web Vitals get fixed in the browser: you diagnose the slow page, whoever rebuilds it is the frontend. One project, two crafts.
Ecommerce Developer
Facets, categories and product pages: the SEO of a store has rules of its own. When the site sells, strategy and construction share the engagement.
Prompt Engineer
The boundary SEO inherits: when the engagement enters GEO and a model must be designed to answer for the business, their row opens the way.
Boundaries between these roles get agreed per project: the job title does not set them.
