Marketing Intern

Peterson Technology Partners

Park Ridge · On-site Contract Entry Level $15 – $20/hr 3w ago

About the role

PTP is looking for a creative, curious marketing intern to help us show up — and stand out — in the next generation of search. That means traditional SEO and something newer: making sure our brand gets surfaced when people ask AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Claude for recommendations.

This is a hands-on role where strong writing and communication skills matter just as much as technical know-how. If you love crafting content, have a knack for clear storytelling, and are genuinely curious about how AI is changing the way people find information, we'd love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Write and optimize content — service pages, FAQs, thought leadership articles, and comparison guides — that ranks well and gets cited by AI tools
  • Help audit PTP's web presence and identify opportunities to improve how we appear in both traditional and AI-generated search results
  • Support on-page SEO fundamentals: meta tags, internal linking, keyword research, and content structuring
  • Track how PTP shows up across AI tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude) and help us improve that visibility over time
  • Assist with schema markup and structured data to help search engines and AI tools better understand our content
  • Contribute to monthly reports on content performance and search visibility
  • Collaborate with leadership on brand voice and messaging consistency across channels
  • Represent PTP's brand on camera and in digital content where needed (video content, social, etc.)

What We're Looking For:

  • Currently pursuing a degree in Marketing, Communications, Journalism, English, or a related field
  • Strong writing skills — you can explain complex ideas clearly and adapt your voice to different audiences
  • Comfortable on camera and confident communicating verbally (for video content, internal presentations, or outreach)
  • Familiarity with basic SEO concepts (keywords, meta tags, content structure) — whether from class, personal projects, or just being curious online
  • An active user of AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Claude — you use them regularly and think about how they work
  • Organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage tasks independently

Nice to Have:

  • Experience with any SEO or analytics tools (Google Search Console, GA4, Ahrefs, SEMrush, SurferSEO — even free/trial versions)
  • Familiarity with how LLMs generate responses and what makes content more likely to be cited
  • Prior internship or freelance experience in marketing, content, or communications
  • Experience with B2B or tech-adjacent content

What You'll Gain:

  • Real-world experience in one of the fastest-growing areas of digital marketing — AI search optimization
  • Direct mentorship from leadership with visibility across strategy, sales, and operations
  • A portfolio of published content and measurable SEO/AI visibility results
  • Opportunity to transition to a full-time role based on performance

Salary/Rate: $15-$20/HR (depends on experience level). This is a contract position with candidates expected to work 40 hours/ week.
