Listings Management Specialist (Virtual Assistant)
Today's Business (TBSMO) — Remote / Contract or Part-Time
About the Role
Today's Business is a NJ-based digital marketing and affiliate management agency serving clients across healthcare, home services, franchise, and retail verticals. We're hiring a detail-obsessed Listings Management Specialist to own local listings, citations, and directory accuracy across our client portfolio — ranging from single-location small businesses to enterprise, multi-location healthcare systems with 100+ facilities.
This is a hands-on execution role. You'll work inside Yext and BrightLocal daily, keeping business data (NAP: Name, Address, Phone), hours, categories, and profile content accurate and consistent across Google Business Profile, Yelp, Apple Maps, and dozens of other directories and aggregators — and flagging opportunities to improve visibility along the way.
What You'll Do
Listings Setup & Onboarding
Run comprehensive listings audits for new clients — identify inaccuracies, duplicates, and missing/incomplete profiles across existing directories
Aggregate, verify, and standardize business location data (NAP, hours, services, categories) for onboarding
Build out and submit new client locations in BrightLocal (Citation Builder / Active Sync) and Yext, prioritizing aggregators (Neustar, Data Axle, Foursquare, GPS Network) and core directories (Google Business Profile, Bing Places, Apple Maps, Yelp, and category-specific directories)
Ongoing Management
Monitor and maintain listing accuracy across all connected platforms for each client account
Claim, verify, and optimize Google Business Profiles (categories, services, photos, posts, Q&A)
Identify and suppress duplicate or conflicting listings
Process client-driven updates (new locations, hour changes, rebrands, closures) promptly and accurately
Monitor for unauthorized changes to listings and flag/resolve inconsistencies
Track listing sync status and troubleshoot platforms that reject or delay updates
Reporting & Communication
Pull and organize BrightLocal and Yext reporting on listing accuracy, sync status, visibility, and (where applicable) review/reputation metrics
Maintain client-level trackers in
Flag accounts with recurring sync failures, low visibility scores, or directory-specific issues to the account team
Support monthly/quarterly client reporting with clear, accurate listings data
Cross-Platform Coordination
Work alongside SEO strategists and account managers to align listings work with broader local SEO strategy (citations feeding into rankings, GBP feeding into map pack visibility, etc.)
Support occasional reputation/review management tasks (monitoring, alerting, light response support) as platforms and client scope require
