Our campus project consulting group is seeking an analytical, data‑minded Student SEO Consultant to facilitate the organic search and website visibility overhaul for a client. In this role, you will be the data anchor of the marketing team. You will audit the client group's current website, identify the exact search terms students use to find resources, and restructure their web content to improve their search engine ranking (SERPs).

You will turn raw web traffic data into an actionable strategy that drives real, organic growth. You will collaborate with an interdisciplinary group of students, contribute to team and client meetings, and work on specific deliverables to finish projects within an 8–12‑week timeframe.

Each project typically lasts between 8 and 12 weeks, giving team members condensed, high‑impact professional experience.
