Navy Federal Credit Union, the world’s largest credit union, serves millions of members across the military community. With audiences searching for financial guidance across traditional search engines and emerging generative AI platforms, the brand needed sharp, future-ready SEO expertise to stay visible, trusted, and competitive.

The Challenge

Navy Federal wasn’t just looking for SEO help; they needed someone who understood how traditional SEO, generative AI search, social, and video now influence each other. And, they needed that person to be on-site five days a week.

The role required an uncommon blend of skills:

• Deep technical SEO experience
• Hands-on content optimization for traditional and AI-powered search
• The ability to build topic clusters rooted in expertise and real-world experience
• A knack for repurposing content across social and video to boost topical authority

Finding someone who could do all of that and slot seamlessly into a large, complex enterprise was a tall order.
