JOB OVERVIEW

Local SEO / Google Business Profile & Social Media VA – Full-Time Opportunity

We are looking for a reliable and experienced Virtual Assistant to help manage the online presence of multiple local service businesses in the United States.

Our biggest priority is Local SEO and Google Business Profile (GBP). We are looking for someone who understands how local businesses rank on Google Maps — not someone who only knows general social media.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Managing multiple Google Business Profiles
• Creating and publishing GBP posts regularly
• Uploading and optimizing real job photos
• Monitoring and responding to Google reviews
• Local SEO and Google Maps optimization
• Tracking local rankings and competitors
• Citation/NAP management
• Basic Google Search Console work
• WordPress & Elementor updates
• Uploading and optimizing service/location pages
• Internal linking, meta titles/descriptions and image optimization
• Creating Facebook & Instagram posts
• Creating simple graphics using Canva
• Scheduling social media content
• Organizing photos/content from completed jobs
• Keeping a clear weekly task/reporting system for all businesses

What we’re looking for:

• Previous experience with Google Business Profile
• Good understanding of Local SEO
• WordPress/Elementor experience
• Canva and basic social media experience
• Good written English
• Organized and able to manage multiple businesses at the same time
• Reliable and available consistently
• Comfortable following detailed instructions
• Willing to learn and improve

Experience with tools such as Local Falcon, BrightLocal, Ahrefs, Semrush, GA4 or Google Search Console is a plus.

This can become a long-term full-time position. We currently manage approximately 8 local businesses and are looking for someone who can become an important part of our operation.

Starting pay: $5–$8/hour depending on experience.

To apply, please send:

1. A short introduction about yourself.
2. How many years of Local SEO/GBP experience you have.
3. Examples of Google Business Profiles or local businesses you have worked on.
4. Which SEO tools you have experience using.
5. Your WordPress/Elementor experience.
6. Your expected hourly rate.
7. Your availability and preferred working hours.
8. In 3–5 sentences, explain what you would check first if a local business suddenly dropped in Google Maps rankings.

Please start your application with the words “LOCAL SEO” so we know you read the entire post.

There will be a short paid practical test for selected applicants.
