Free ATS Resume Checker for Content Writer

Content writer and content marketing job descriptions are keyword-specific in ways that surprise many applicants: 'SEO copywriting', 'keyword research', 'CMS (WordPress, Webflow, Contentful)', 'content calendar management', 'editorial workflow', and 'brand voice' all appear as scored terms. An ATS scoring a content role will also look for writing-adjacent tools — 'Grammarly', 'SEMrush', 'Ahrefs', 'HubSpot' — and measurable outcomes like 'organic traffic growth' or 'email open rate'. Writers whose resumes focus only on publication credits and creative strengths without mentioning these tools and metrics typically score poorly. AdaptMyCV's ATS checker maps the specific gap between your current CV and the JD you're targeting so you can add the right terminology without fabricating experience.

5 ATS keywords Content Writer resumes must cover

These are the terms that appear most frequently in Content Writer job descriptions and carry the most weight in ATS scoring. If any are missing from your resume, you're losing points — even against less experienced candidates who list them explicitly.

How to fix your Content Writer resume for ATS

  1. Use a single-column layout. Multi-column templates popular for Content Writer roles often interleave text during ATS parsing, producing garbled output that scores near zero on structure checks.
  2. Mirror the JD's phrasing exactly. If the posting says “SEO”, that exact string needs to appear in your resume — not a synonym, not a broader category.
  3. Use standard section headers. “Experience”, “Skills”, “Education” — not creative variants. Unusual headers break field extraction in most ATSes.
  4. Put contact info in the body, not only the header. Some parsers skip the document header/footer region entirely.
  5. Run the free ATS checker before submitting. It takes under a minute and shows your exact score, keyword gaps, and the top fixes ranked by score-point impact.
