The Role

This is a highly flexible, low-commitment internship designed specifically to fit around a demanding academic schedule. At just 5 hours per week, you will gain hands-on experience in Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), and Local Search. You will work directly with our leadership team to help build our search presence and develop strategies to ensure our US clients rank prominently in both traditional search engines and AI-driven search platforms.

Key Responsibilities

  • Local Search & Mapping: Assist in researching and developing local SEO strategies, including Google Business Profile optimization and local citation building for targeted US markets.

  • SEO Keyword & Competitor Research: Identify high-value search terms and analyze competitor rankings in specific US geographic regions (such as the Chicago metropolitan area).
  • Search Strategy Localization: Collaborate with our international marketing team to ensure global content is optimized for US search intent, regional terminology, and local algorithms.

  • A strong interest in how search engines work, artificial intelligence trends, and digital marketing.

  • Highly organized, self-motivated, and capable of working independently in a remote environment.
  • A reliable internet connection and access to a personal computer.

What We Offer

  • Ultimate Flexibility: 100% remote work. You choose the 5 hours a week that work best for your class schedule.
  • Cutting-Edge Skills: Tangible, hands-on experience not just in traditional SEO, but in emerging GEO (AI search) strategies that will make your resume stand out.
  • Global Exposure: Work directly with a diverse, international team and learn how a global digital agency operates.
  • Mentorship: Direct guidance and networking opportunities with agency leadership.

To Apply: Please submit your resume and a brief cover letter (or a short note) explaining your interest in search marketing, AI search trends.
