Calling all Spring 2027 Interns!

Kick Off Your Career in SEO

The Abbi Agency (TAA) is on the lookout for our next Search Engine Optimization (SEO) intern! If you’re curious about how people find things online – and why some brands show up first – this is the place for you. Keep reading for the who, what, where, when and why, plus more good stuff.

INTRODUCTION

This internship is a semester-long role on the digital experience team, requiring a commitment of 15 hours per week.

TAA’s internship program is designed to supply real-world agency experience and professional development in a collaborative and creative environment. Interns work closely with a designated mentor who will provide personalized guidance throughout the program.

ABOUT SEO / ORGANIC SEARCH

Organic search is the long game of digital marketing: making sure the right people find our clients the moment they’re looking, without paying for placement. It’s part detective work, part writing, part data.

It’s also changing fast. People increasingly get answers from AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity instead of clicking a blue link, which means our job now includes making sure clients are the source those answers are built from. You’ll hear this called answer engine optimization (AEO) or generative engine optimization (GEO). Nobody has fully figured it out yet – which is exactly why we want someone curious in the room.

As an intern, you’ll do the hands-on research, auditing and reporting that all of this is built on, and you’ll see your work show up in real client results.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Crawl client sites in Screaming Frog and log technical and on-page issues
• Research keywords and competitors in Semrush and Ahrefs
• Write and optimize page titles, meta descriptions, alt text and content briefs
• Pull data from Google Analytics and Search Console into monthly client reports
• Manage local search presence: Google Business Profiles, listings, reviews
• Track how clients show up in AI Overviews, ChatGPT and Perplexity – and help build the process for measuring it

Tools you’ll leave knowing: Semrush, Ahrefs, Screaming Frog, Google Analytics 4, Google Search Console and Google Business Profile – the same stack agencies hire for.

THE ABBI ACADEMY 

School is in session! All TAA interns receive insight into multiple departments through our Abbi Academy program. You’ll get a front-row seat to the way an integrated agency operates, plus a real look into the teamwork and creativity that fuel our agency!

COMPENSATION

Interns receive a stipend of $850 upon completion of the internship, meant to help cover the cost of an internship course credit fee at your university. 

REQUIREMENTS
