Content Writer for In-House Brands (no client work) – From $75,000 a year
We are a mid-sized marketing company established in 2008 and headquartered in Chicago. We provide search marketing services, namely SEO, PPC, web design, and development. And we do it well!
We have an amazing team with very low turnover because we all love it here. There are many reasons why we love working here, but most importantly:
- We love the people we work with (no a-holes allowed)
- We are always growing professionally, individually, and as a team
- Our management team is great (respectful, fair, and flexible when needed)
- Our work is interesting, dynamic, and not mired in managerial bureaucracy
- Our compensation is strong
- Lastly, because our team is not huge, each of us creates a real impact on our clients and everyone on the team.
Summary
We are looking for an experienced Content Writer to join our team who will create high-quality, interesting, and SEO-optimized content for our two marketing companies (no client work, just our brands), primarily serving the legal and home services industries.
Your primary objective will be to produce clear, accurate, and interesting content that aligns with our brands’ SEO goals, namely ranking highly for the right keywords in search and engaging readers.
Responsibilities
- Work closely with SEO specialists who will provide content plans, tasks, and SEO specifications for most content to be written.

- Optimize content with targeted keywords, meta descriptions, headers, and internal links to improve search engine rankings.
- Wherever appropriate, edit and humanize AI-generated copy, ensuring it meets quality standards, aligns with the brand voice, resonates with audiences, and maintains factual accuracy.
Qualifications
- We are looking for someone with a high level of integrity.
- Excellent writing and editing skills with a focus on clarity and engagement (don’t produce boring content that reads just like everything else already posted).
- Proven experience in web content writing, preferably in the marketing services industry.
- Strong understanding of SEO principles and tools like SEMrush, Ahrefs, and SurferSEO.
- Excellent time management skills to handle multiple projects and meet deadlines.
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.
