Position Overview
Actian is seeking an SEO / AI Search (AEO) Intern to help shape how our brand and products are discovered across
traditional search engines and emerging AI-driven experiences.
This is not a traditional SEO internship. This role sits at the intersection of search, content, and AI, focused on
optimizing Actian.com for both rankings and answer-based discovery (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity,
etc.).
If you have a curious, builder mindset - someone who likes to test, experiment, and use AI tools to solve real
marketing problems - this is a unique opportunity to work on high-impact initiatives across Actian’s full product
portfolio.
You will gain hands-on experience with modern SEO platforms while also exploring how AI is reshaping search
behavior, content strategy, and digital visibility.
Capstone Overview
Deliver a final project that evaluates Actian’s performance across both organic search and AI-driven discovery,
including:
Baseline vs. improved performance
Visibility in AI-generated answers
Strategic recommendations to improve discoverability across search and AI platforms
