Freelance SEO Content Writer: Language Learning and K12 Education

Independent contractor (1099) · 3-month contract · Remote (US-based) · 10 pieces per month

Mango Languages helps people learn languages through public libraries, schools, universities, businesses and direct subscriptions. We’re growing our content program and need a writer who knows how to optimize copy for both search engines and AI assistants, and who can serve two very different audiences: (1) everyday language learners, and (2) the K12 educators who choose language curricula for their districts.

You'll write new articles and refresh existing ones from detailed briefs. We handle keyword research, publishing, design, and promotion. You own clear, accurate, well-structured writing that ranks in search and gets quoted by AI assistants like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews.

Engagement: a 3-month contract to start, with 10 pieces per month, 1,500-1,800 words.

What we're looking for:

• Required

• 3+ years writing SEO content that ranks, with published samples and the queries they target.

• Experience writing for AI search (Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity) and structuring content to be quoted.

• Experience writing for educators or education buyers (K12, edtech, curriculum or school administration).

• Comfortable writing answer-first: a direct 40–60 word answer up top, then clear sections, tables and FAQs.

• Careful with facts: you cite sources, flag what you're unsure of, and don't invent statistics.

• Reliable with deadlines and able to take edits from subject-matter reviewers (our linguists and curriculum specialists).

• Work you deliver is your own writing. If you use AI tools for research or drafting, tell us how; we review for accuracy, originality, and voice.

Nice to have

• You speak or have studied a second language

• Experience with Semrush or similar tools.

How we work

• Every piece starts with a brief from us: the target search query, the AI question it should answer, an outline, FAQ questions, internal links, and the call to action.

• You deliver in Google Docs within the agreed turnaround time (usually 7 business days for new pieces, 3 for refreshes of existing pieces).

• Our team reviews for accuracy, publishes, and handles design, schema, and promotion.

• Bi-monthly planning: a 30-minute call to discuss upcoming pieces and feedback on written work.
