Looking for Advice
Posted by on April 30, 2026 at 5:03 amSEO peeps, I need some advice on how to a SEO job. I happen to be hearing impaired (deaf) and have already tried several places that outright rejected me cuz I'm deaf.
The last SEO job I worked at laid me off in 3 months due to the same thing (communication issues).
For them, I managed Shopify backend + SEO (Onpage and technical). I barely got done with site hygiene before being laid off.
Now I'm broke, in debt, and desperately looking for a job.
I wanted to save up and build a blog site for testing but I'm too broke to do it, same thing with 2 tool ideas I had.
Do checkout the links below, they cover some of the tasks I did for my client.
Also, I am comfortable with Google meet if both parties are talking in English, their Closed Captions are quite accurate.
Please guide me, I can't see a path out of this mess.

Man, that’s a rough spot…, especially when it’s not about your actual skills. I’d focus on remote, async-heavy roles and be upfront that you work best with written communication and captions since SEO doesn’t really need constant calls. At the same time, put together 2–3 quick case studies (like simple Shopify audits in a Google Doc) to show your thinking, and try picking up small freelance gigs like audits or on-page fixes to build momentum without heavy communication pressure.
