Content Writer – SEO & AI Search

Content Writer – SEO & AI Search

If you search 'custom sorority shirts' or 'Greek life apparel,' Fresh Prints doesn't own that real estate the way we should. We're the largest collegiate custom apparel company in America, and we are consistently losing organic traffic to competitors who are less credible but have been more intentional about content. 

We’d like to fix that, but with an approach that builds our brand and creates real value for our customers. No keyword stuffing. No regurgitated AI slop.

So we are first and foremost looking for a writer , who also happens to have a deep understanding of what it takes to rank on search and within LLMs. If that sounds like you, please apply! 

You'll own our blog, our site content, and our backlink strategy. You'll write posts that college students actually want to read, copy for the pages that drive revenue, and build the link profile that signals to Google that Fresh Prints is the authoritative source on collegiate apparel.

What You'll Own

Blog & Content Creation

Plan, write, and publish a consistent cadence of blog posts targeting high-value keywords in the Greek life, collegiate, and custom apparel space

Develop content that serves real search intent - genuinely useful guides, listicles, comparison pieces, and how-to content that earns clicks and time on page

Maintain a content calendar that maps to Fresh Prints' seasonal moments: fall recruitment, spring rush, homecoming, formals, philanthropy events, and graduation

Write for a college-age audience in a voice that feels like Fresh Prints - smart, warm, a little irreverent - not corporate or generic

On-Page SEO & Site Content

Write and optimise meta titles, meta descriptions, headers, and body copy for pages across the site

Identify internal linking opportunities that improve crawlability and distribute page authority across the site

Work with the Tech team to ensure new content launches are set up correctly from an SEO standpoint

Backlink Building

Develop and execute a backlink strategy focused on the sites, publications, and communities that are most relevant to Fresh Prints' audience: Greek life media, college newspapers, campus life blogs, lifestyle publications, and higher-ed marketplaces

Write and pitch guest posts, data-driven stories, and resource articles that earn placements organically

Build relationships with bloggers, journalists, and site owners in adjacent spaces who cover collegiate life, campus fashion, and custom merchandise

Track the link profile using SEO tools and report on domain authority growth and referring domain acquisition over time

GEO

Develop Fresh Prints' strategy for appearing in AI-generated search answers on platforms like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, and Bing Copilot

Identify the question formats and informational queries where Fresh Prints should be the cited source and create content specifically designed to earn those citations

Monitor how Fresh Prints is (and isn't) being referenced in AI answer engines and iterate based on findings

Stay current on how generative search is evolving and bring back relevant insights

Performance & Reporting

Track organic traffic, keyword rankings, backlink acquisition, and content engagement - and use that data to shape the content roadmap

Run regular content audits to identify pages with ranking potential that haven't been optimized, and deprioritize or consolidate thin content

Develop and refine the framework for measuring content ROI

Who You Are

You love writing. You can produce content that's engaging, accurate, and optimized, without one quality coming at the expense of another

You understand search intent at a deep level. You know why someone is Googling 'how to plan a sorority recruitment event', and you know exactly what piece of content will satisfy that intent and rank for it

You are just as comfortable in Ahrefs or SEMrush as you are in a Google Doc. Data tells you what to write. Your instincts tell you how to write it.

You've been paying attention to how AI search is changing the game. You have opinions about GEO that go beyond 'use structured data' 

You are self-directed. You can own a content calendar, set your own priorities, and execute without being micromanaged

You're curious about Fresh Prints' audience. You'll read what college students are searching for, what Greek life TikTok is talking about, and what questions chapter presidents are Googling at 11pm the week before recruitment
