Job Overview:
As an Organic Search Content Analyst at Augurian, you’ll be in the work every day across the full organic practice: analyzing client SEO and AEO performance, supporting technical optimizations, and, above all, planning and creating the content that earns rankings and answer-engine citations. You’ll use tools like Google Search Console, SEMrush, Google Analytics, and a growing set of AI tools to understand what’s happening, figure out what to do next, and produce content at a pace and quality bar most agencies can’t match.
We’re looking for someone with a solid SEO foundation and a real love for content: someone who writes well, thinks analytically, and cares about why a piece of content works, not just whether it got done. You don’t need to have all the answers yet, but you need to want to find them. You’ll support a diverse client mix, from B2B organizations with long sales cycles to multi-location businesses in healthcare, retail, higher education, and grocery, giving you broad exposure to different audiences and business models early in your career. If you want to grow as a well-rounded organic search practitioner with content as your specialty, this is your launchpad.
