About the Company

What if K-12 education were designed to help all students develop lives of meaning and purpose? Wayfinder was founded at the Stanford d.school to answer this question. Our goal is to double our impact each year for the coming years. Our vision is to become the preeminent future-readiness curriculum company in the world—leading the global movement of purpose, meaning, and belonging-based education worldwide.

• Maintain our SEMrush account and establish biweekly AEO/GEO/SEO performance reports to track and share technical KPIs, such as Core Web Vitals, crawl errors, and index coverage.
• Provide guidance on backlink monitoring and disavow support.
• Establish a process for tracking LLM-driven referral traffic
• Implement or update structured data (ex: schema markup, llms.txt, metadata) to improve how pages are indexed and understood by search and AI systems.
• Identify and execute technical improvements to templates, internal linking, and page structure for better discoverability and accessibility.
• Assist with Google Tag Manager tagging consistency across Webflow and HubSpot as needed.
• Stay up to date on best practices for SEO, AEO, and GEO, and make proactive recommendations based on evolving standards. Create documentation as necessary.
