JOB OVERVIEW

JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for a detail-oriented VA to help research, audit, clean up, and organize online business listings for multiple local service businesses in Northeast Florida.

Businesses include:

BMPC Concrete
Bug-Man Pest Control
Wise Crawlspace and Termite Solutions

The main job is researching where each business is listed online, checking whether the information is correct, identifying duplicate or outdated listings, determining whether we have login access, and documenting the exact steps needed to claim, recover, or update each listing.

This is NOT a bulk citation submission job.
This is NOT a spam backlink job.
This is NOT an automated directory blast job.

Main responsibilities:

- Search the web to find existing listings for each business
- Check business name, address, phone number, website, categories, and service areas
- Identify duplicate, outdated, incorrect, or unclaimed listings
- Determine whether each listing has login access, claim access, or no visible access option
- Document what email or account appears to control the listing when visible
- Provide step-by-step instructions for password recovery or account claiming
- Screenshot important pages, claim screens, and verification requirements
- Record which listings require owner phone, email, postcard, or document verification
- Create a clean spreadsheet so we know what to fix, what to claim, and what to ignore
- Keep each brand separate and avoid mixing business information

Platforms may include:

Yelp

Facebook
BBB
Angi
HomeAdvisor
Thumbtack
Houzz
Nextdoor
Apple Business Connect
Bing Places
local business directories
contractor directories
pest control directories
home service directories
chamber of commerce directories

Bonus skills:

- Google Business Profile / Google Maps optimization
- Map grid or heat map ranking reports
- Local competitor analysis
- Backlink audit experience
- Local backlink research and outreach
- SEMrush, Ahrefs, BrightLocal, Local Falcon, Local Viking, or similar tools

Requirements:

- Experience with local SEO citations, business listings, directories, or online listing cleanup
- Strong web research ability
- Strong attention to detail
- Good spreadsheet organization
- Good written English
- Ability to follow instructions carefully
- Ability to organize screenshots and notes clearly
- Ability to explain login recovery or claim steps clearly
- No automated spam citation software
- No bulk directory blasting
- No low quality backlink packages

Please answer these questions when applying:

1. Have you worked on local SEO citation cleanup before? If yes, what types of businesses?

2. Have you researched where a business is listed online and created a cleanup spreadsheet before?

3. Have you helped recover, claim, or update directory listings where the owner did not have the login?

4. How do you handle listings that require phone, email, postcard, or owner verification?

5. Have you worked with Google Business Profile / Google Maps optimization for service area businesses? If yes, what industries?

6. Have you done Google Maps competitor analysis before? If yes, what did you compare?

7. Have you used map grid or heat map ranking tools such as Local Falcon, Local Viking, BrightLocal, Places Scout, or similar? If yes, please name the tool.

8. Can you provide screenshots or examples of past citation cleanup, Google Maps, or local SEO work? Please blur private client information if needed.

9. Have you worked with backlink audits, backlink cleanup, or local link building before? Please describe your experience.

10. What types of backlinks do you believe are most valuable for local service businesses today?

11. What tools do you use for citation cleanup, backlink analysis, or local SEO research?

12. Please provide your WhatsApp number and email address.

13. What is your hourly rate?

14. Are you available this week for a small paid test project?

This will begin as a small paid test project with potential for ongoing work.
