About 1 min 145 words
Presentwho I am now
Good morning, I'm Rohan Mehta, an SEO executive with two years at a travel content company in Indore. I handle keyword research, on-page work and monthly reports, using Ahrefs and Search Console.
Pastwhat I have done
When I joined, our travel blog had about twenty thousand visits a month. I refreshed the old posts, fixed titles and internal links, and built a content plan around questions people actually search. Ten months later, we had about ninety-five thousand monthly visits. My team lead still uses the keyword sheet I made for planning.
Futurewhy this role
Now I'd like to move to an in-house team where I can work with developers on technical SEO as well. I'm learning schema and Core Web Vitals, and I'd like to apply them on a bigger site. I can join in thirty days, and I'm glad to share my keyword sheet and a traffic report from Search Console.
Short version
Three sentences, for when you're nervous.
I'm Rohan, an SEO executive with two years at a travel content company, using Ahrefs and Search Console. I grew our blog from twenty thousand to ninety-five thousand monthly visits in ten months. I'd like to move in-house and add technical SEO.
3 things to include
Traffic before and after
Twenty thousand to ninety-five thousand in ten months is the sentence every SEO interviewer waits for.
What you actually did
Refreshing old posts and fixing internal links is believable and specific.
What you're learning
Name one technical skill you are building, such as schema or Core Web Vitals.
2 things to avoid
Promising rank one
Nobody controls rankings. Talk about the work you did and the traffic that followed.
Tool lists as achievements
Owning an Ahrefs account is not a result. Say what you found and changed with it.
