Google SEO & Reviews Specialist Intern

Title: Google SEO & Reviews Specialist Intern - Skyhawks Sports (Treasure Valley)

When a Boise parent Googles "youth soccer camp near me," we want to be the first result they see. When a Meridian mom checks our reviews at 10pm before signing up, we want her to see dozens of real families vouching for us. We need an intern to make that happen.

Skyhawks Sports operates across 7+ cities in the Treasure Valley. Our Google presence is where thousands of parents find us every year, and it is where our next thousand will find us. We are looking for a detail-oriented intern who wants to own our Google Business Profiles, our local SEO, and our review strategy.

• You are knowledgeable about how local search works.
• You are organized, patient, and detail-oriented (this work rewards consistency).
• You have taken an SEO course, run a GBP, or done keyword research (bonus, not required).
• You can manage your own time with 6 to 10 flexible hours per week.
• You care about doing work that compounds over time.
• You want to be apart of a growing organization that impacts kids, coaches, and community.

• Free or reduced program rates for intern's family.
• Coaching available if local and interested. See hourly wage.

TO APPLY, email ***email_hidden*** with:
