Job description

Objective

Support the expansion of the client’s flagship brand by producing structured, research-driven Greensboro, NC city landing pages and neighborhood content that guides users through the “living in” and “moving to” journey, with future expansion into travel-focused content. This writer needs to be a local to Greensboro, NC or have strong local familiarity with the area.

Profile Overview

The client is expanding its content footprint in Greensboro, NC as part of the next phase of content growth. The selected writer will produce highly structured, thorough, SEO-aligned content that:

The ideal writer understands structured content development, including outline-driven writing, search intent, and fact-checking best practices. They must be capable of producing content that requires minimal editorial revision.

Content should focus on the positive attributes of Greensboro while maintaining third-party neutrality, particularly important given downstream real estate monetization opportunities.

Any geographic data points should originate from the client’s data set.

• Fact-check all data thoroughly
• Identify enduring local attractions, institutions, and experiences versus temporary trends
• Ensure content depth supports strong engagement time
• Incorporate SEO best practices and search-intent alignment
• Maintain third-party editorial neutrality with no realtor influence
• Participate in strategy discussions as needed
• Conduct short interviews for local quotes

Skills and Qualifications

• Strong background in structured, outline-driven writing
• Experience in destination, travel, relocation, or lifestyle content
• SEO strategy and search intent expertise
• Strong research and fact-checking methodology
