Analyst, Organic Search - Content Focus

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.

• Analyze competitors’ SEO and AEO approaches and flag opportunities.

Technical SEO Support

• Leverage foundational knowledge of crawling, indexing, and ranking to identify technical SEO opportunities, especially those affecting content discoverability.

Content Creation & Optimization

• Create end-to-end content briefs to drive traffic through blog, landing page, location page, and resource content development.
• Write, edit, and optimize content for search engines, answer engines, and user experience.
• Refresh and consolidate existing content to recover or grow organic performance.
• Structure content so it’s clear, citable, and likely to be surfaced in AI Overviews, answer engines, and LLM-driven search.
• Ensure content meets quality standards, brand voice guidelines, and E-E-A-T expectations before delivery.

AI Tools & Learning

• Use AI tools for keyword research, outlining, drafting, and SEO auditing, applying human judgment and editorial QA to everything that ships.
