Last month we kicked off our series on the less typical services that a Virtual Assistant offers. As a business that outsources Virtual Assistants in Australia, we know that many businesses aren’t willing to pay for one as they think that all they will be doing is answering a phone and taking messages. This series endeavors to show you that there’s no limit to what a qualified Virtual Assistant can do and that hiring one is well worth the money.
Most businesses in Perth, Queensland, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane have a website to help clients find information about their business. It’s also a place to host content and one that ranks well in search engines for certain keywords and terms. Unless you’re in the business of design or development you’ve had help in building and designing your website and if you experience any major problems you can call them up and they’ll assist you.
Alternately you might be an experienced web designer or developer who is spending time doing basic tasks such as installing plugins or updating a website with content through a CMS – an important job, but one keeping you from taking onadvanced (better paying) jobs.
For both the problems above, you can hire a Virtual Assistant to help with those tasks.
But what about the day to day management and running of your website?
For example we had a client running a catering business locally. He had a website which he wanted to use to showcase the various events he catered. But because he had no time to upload, format and schedule these blog posts or do any formatting, publishing and checking for typos his website remained stagnant with no updates being made.
After consulting us and mentioning this problem we were able to source for him an Executive Virtual Assistant with web design and development experience. Within weeks she was handling his reception duties as well his website management. Our client was able to show off his work online and handleenquiries in the process – enquiries his VA was able to follow up on personally.
Being a Virtual Assistant in Brisbane, Melbourne or anywhere else in Australia is a multifaceted job, so the next time you experience a workplace staffing dilemma, hiring a VA might be the answer for you.
