At BetterHelp, you’ll carve your own path, make an immediate impact, and be challenged every day – with a supportive community behind you the whole way.

BetterHelp is seeking an SEO & GEO Intern to support our organic growth strategy across traditional search engines and emerging AI-powered search platforms.

You will report directly to the Senior SEO Data Manager and contribute to initiatives focused on:

• Increasing impressions and AI visibility
• Improving rankings for priority keyword targets

• You will NOT worry about "runway", "cash left", or "how much time we have until the next round". We have the startup DNA but we're fully backed and funded, all the way to success.
• You will NOT be confined to your "job". You will get involved in product, marketing, business strategy, and almost everything we do.
• You will NOT be bogged down by office politics, ego, or bad attitude. Only positive, pleasure-to-work-with people are allowed here!
• You will NOT get yourself burned out. We work hard but we believe in maintaining a sustainable work/life balance. Really.

Yes. We operate on PST and candidates in any time zone are welcome to apply.
