ATS keywords for a content writer resume

The most important ATS keywords for a content writer resume are SEO skills (keyword research, on-page SEO, SEO writing, content briefs), the formats you produce (blog posts, case studies, white papers, email newsletters, landing pages), editing craft (copyediting, proofreading, style guides, AP style), and the stack (WordPress, Google Analytics, Search Console, Ahrefs or Semrush).

Content roles are filtered on the intersection of writing + SEO + measurement, because that's what separates a content writer from "someone who writes". The strongest keyword evidence is a traffic or ranking number attached to work you own: "grew organic blog traffic from 12K to 85K sessions/month in a year". Attach a portfolio link — most screeners won't advance a writer without one.
