I'm an SEO with a web development background, but rarely see SEO related jobs posted on HN. Would be interested to see if any of the tech jobs are also needing full time SEO roles as well but never post.

I would try looking for Marketing roles. SEO is a critical component of marketing and most companies would likely frame the position as Marketing / Growth rather than just purely SEO.

I used to do SEO (long time ago) and half of potential customers would perceive any SEO service as almost fraud and the other half would perceive it as hype.

So i'd describe business value (generate sales, leads) vs. specific method you use to achieve business value.

Are you open to side work rather than a full time gig? I’m looking for some help in this area.

We're looking for a freelance SEO to help flesh out our landing pages, it's a mix of content writing and optimization. What's the best way to get in contact?

This is one of the reasons people don't "search" for SEO consultancy. Just look at the replies - everyone tries to sell soemthing immediately.

I know this isn't technically what you are looking for, but have you looked into the rank and rent model? Basically, you build local service based websites, rank them, and then sell the leads that come in.
