SEO Generalist

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

Local (maps, packs, listings) Web (partner sites + lovingly.com) Emerging AI assistants and answer engines
