SEO Intern

3-Month Voluntary Placement

Type: Internship (Voluntary, 3 Months)
Location: Fully Remote
Certificate: Provided upon successful completion
Potential for Full-Time Role: Based on performance

About the Role

Are you curious about how websites show up on Google? Do you love learning new things, paying attention to detail, and working with people from all over the world? Then you might be a great fit for our SEO Internship.

At Pearl Lemon, we’re offering a 3-month voluntary internship designed for learners, not experts. No SEO experience? That’s totally fine. What we care about is your attitude, eagerness to learn, and ability to collaborate. If you perform well, there’s a possibility to move into a full-time role.

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be part of real projects that impact real clients. With full guidance from our experienced team, you’ll:

  • Explore how search engines work and help make websites easier to find.
  • Assist with research tasks like discovering keywords and checking out competitors.
  • Help with organizing and improving web content.
  • Participate in outreach efforts (like reaching out to other websites for collaborations).
  • Get hands-on with SEO tools under our guidance (we’ll show you the ropes!).
  • Work with a team that values communication, creativity, and learning by doing.

Who We’re Looking For

We don’t expect you to come in knowing everything — we’re here to teach you. You’re a great fit if you:

  • Are curious and eager to learn new digital marketing skills.
  • Have great attention to detail and like getting things right.
  • Enjoy working independently but also love collaborating.
  • Can communicate clearly in writing and speaking.
  • Are proactive and open to feedback.

Have a laptop and stable internet connection.

What You’ll Get

  • Real-world experience in a fast-paced, international SEO environment.
  • Personal mentorship from experienced professionals.
  • Flexible remote work with a global team
  • A certificate of completion at the end of the internship.
  • The chance to earn a full-time job offer based on your performance.
  • No prior experience in SEO is required — we care more about your mindset than your resume.
