Outsource SEO Services to the Philippines — The Complete Guide for 2026
Most businesses think of SEO as a strategy. It is not. SEO is an execution game — and execution is where most SEO programs fail. The strategy part is relatively straightforward: identify keywords your target audience searches for, create content that addresses their intent, build authoritative backlinks, and ensure your site is technically sound. The hard part is doing all of that consistently, at scale, month after month, without the dozens of hours of weekly execution work being deprioritized by every other competing demand on your marketing team’s time. That execution gap is why the Philippines has become the world’s leading destination for outsourced SEO services.
Filipino SEO specialists combine strong technical skills with the content creation ability, research discipline, and analytical mindset that search engine optimization demands. The Philippines’ digital marketing BPO sector has grown rapidly over the past decade, producing a deep talent pool of professionals experienced in technical SEO audits, keyword research, on-page optimization, link building, content strategy, and analytics reporting — all at rates that represent up to 80% savings versus US or European SEO talent. At VA Masters, we have placed 1,000+ virtual assistants globally, and SEO roles are among our fastest-growing categories because the results compound over time. Every month of consistent SEO execution builds on the previous month’s work, creating a flywheel effect that delivers increasing organic traffic and leads.
This guide covers everything you need to outsource SEO to the Philippines effectively — from defining scope and selecting the right specialist to managing deliverables, measuring performance, avoiding common pitfalls, and scaling your SEO operation as your organic program matures.
Why the Philippines Is the Ideal Destination for Outsourced SEO
SEO outsourcing requires a unique combination of skills: technical knowledge, content creation ability, analytical thinking, and fluent English. The Philippines delivers across all four dimensions.
English Content Creation Capability
SEO and content are inseparable. Your SEO specialist must be able to write — or at minimum, edit and optimize — content in fluent, natural English that engages readers and satisfies search intent. Filipino professionals are educated in English from elementary school through university, and the country's strong media and publishing ecosystem produces writers who understand tone, audience, and the difference between writing that ranks and writing that actually converts readers into customers. Unlike other offshore markets where content reads as "translated" or "non-native," Filipino-written content passes the quality bar for US and UK audiences.
Technical and Analytical Skills
Modern SEO is increasingly technical — crawl optimization, Core Web Vitals, structured data, JavaScript rendering, log file analysis, and programmatic SEO all require technical competence beyond traditional marketing skills. The Philippines produces strong technical talent through its engineering and IT programs, and many Filipino SEO specialists bridge the gap between marketing strategy and technical implementation that US-based generalists often struggle with. Their analytical skills — comfortable with data from Google Analytics, Search Console, and third-party SEO tools — enable the data-driven decision-making that separates effective SEO from guesswork.
Digital Marketing BPO Ecosystem
The Philippines' digital marketing outsourcing sector has matured significantly, with agencies and BPOs handling SEO for companies across North America, Europe, and Australia. This means the talent pool includes professionals who have already managed SEO campaigns for English-speaking markets, understand Google's algorithm updates and ranking factors, and have hands-on experience with the enterprise SEO tools your team uses. You are not pioneering offshore SEO — you are tapping into a proven, experienced talent market.
Cost Advantage for a Labor-Intensive Function
SEO is one of the most labor-intensive marketing functions. Keyword research, content creation, technical audits, link outreach, and reporting consume dozens of hours per week. At US agency rates of $100-$250 per hour, comprehensive SEO becomes prohibitively expensive for many businesses. At $8-14 per hour for a dedicated Filipino SEO specialist through VA Masters, you can afford the dedicated execution capacity that SEO success requires. The cost advantage does not just save money — it makes comprehensive SEO programs feasible for businesses that cannot justify agency pricing. For companies that need broader marketing support, the same talent pool powers outsourced digital marketing operations across multiple channels.
Key Insight
The number one reason SEO programs fail is not bad strategy — it is inconsistent execution. Businesses start strong, then SEO tasks get deprioritized as other marketing priorities compete for attention. A dedicated Filipino SEO specialist eliminates this problem by providing consistent, daily execution that compounds over time. Three months of consistent SEO work produces more results than twelve months of sporadic effort.
SEO Tasks You Can Outsource
The scope of outsourceable SEO work is broader than most businesses realize. Here is the complete landscape of tasks your Filipino SEO specialist handles.
Keyword Research and Strategy
Your VA conducts comprehensive keyword research using tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush, Google Keyword Planner, and Moz. They identify high-value keywords based on search volume, keyword difficulty, search intent, and business relevance. The output is a prioritized keyword strategy that maps target keywords to content topics, landing pages, and optimization opportunities across your site. This research is not a one-time exercise — your VA monitors keyword trends, tracks ranking changes, and updates the strategy as the competitive landscape evolves.
On-Page SEO Optimization
For every page on your site, your VA optimizes title tags, meta descriptions, header structure (H1, H2, H3), URL structure, internal linking, image alt text, schema markup, and content quality signals. They conduct page-level audits identifying optimization gaps and implement changes either directly (if they have CMS access) or through documented recommendations for your development team. On-page optimization is the foundation that all other SEO activity builds upon.
Content Strategy and Creation
Your VA develops a content calendar driven by keyword research and competitive analysis. They identify content gaps — topics your competitors rank for that your site does not cover — and prioritize creation opportunities by traffic potential and business value. For content creation, they write or brief SEO-optimized blog posts, landing pages, resource pages, and FAQ content that targets specific keywords while providing genuine value to readers.
Technical SEO Auditing and Fixes
Your VA conducts regular technical SEO audits using Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, or Ahrefs Site Audit to identify issues — broken links, crawl errors, duplicate content, thin pages, missing schema, Core Web Vitals failures, and indexation problems. They prioritize issues by impact and either implement fixes directly or create detailed tickets for your development team with exact specifications for each fix.
Link Building and Outreach
Your VA manages link building campaigns — identifying link prospects through competitor backlink analysis, broken link building, resource page outreach, and guest posting opportunities. They manage outreach email sequences, negotiate link placements, track acquired links, and measure the impact on domain authority and keyword rankings. Link building is one of the most time-intensive SEO activities, making it particularly well-suited for outsourcing.
Local SEO Management
For businesses with physical locations, your VA manages Google Business Profiles, citation building and consistency, local keyword optimization, review monitoring and response, and local schema markup. Local SEO requires ongoing attention — review responses, citation updates, and GBP optimization are continuous activities that a dedicated VA handles more consistently than anyone splitting time with other marketing responsibilities.
SEO Reporting and Analytics
Your VA produces regular SEO reports covering organic traffic trends, keyword ranking changes, backlink profile growth, technical health scores, and conversion metrics. They use Google Analytics, Google Search Console, and third-party tools to compile data into actionable reports that inform strategy decisions. Weekly or bi-weekly reports keep you informed without overwhelming your schedule.
VA Masters tests every SEO candidate on technical proficiency (conducting a site audit and identifying priority issues), keyword research methodology (building a keyword strategy for a sample business), content optimization skills (optimizing a sample page for target keywords), and analytical capability (interpreting Search Console data and recommending actions). This assessment ensures candidates can execute the full SEO workflow competently.
Technical SEO
Technical SEO is the infrastructure that determines whether your content can be found, crawled, indexed, and ranked. Without a technically sound foundation, even the best content strategy underperforms.
Site Speed and Core Web Vitals
Google's Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Interaction to Next Paint (INP), and Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) — are direct ranking factors. Your VA monitors CWV performance using PageSpeed Insights, Chrome UX Report data, and Lighthouse audits. They identify the specific elements causing performance issues — oversized images, render-blocking scripts, poor server response times, layout shifts from dynamic content — and either implement fixes or create specifications for your development team. CWV optimization is iterative; your VA monitors performance continuously and addresses regressions as they occur.
Crawl Optimization
Your VA ensures that search engines can efficiently crawl your site by managing robots.txt, XML sitemaps, canonical tags, and internal link architecture. They identify crawl waste — pages that consume crawl budget without providing SEO value — and address issues through noindex directives, canonical consolidation, or content improvements. For large sites (10,000+ pages), crawl optimization is particularly important because Google allocates limited crawl budget to each domain.
Indexation Management
Not all pages should be indexed, and not all pages that should be indexed actually are. Your VA monitors the index coverage report in Google Search Console, identifying pages that are excluded, errored, or indexed but not submitted. They ensure high-value pages are properly indexed, resolve indexation errors, and use tools like Google's URL Inspection and Indexing API to manage how your pages appear in search results.
Structured Data and Schema Markup
Schema markup helps search engines understand your content and can generate rich results — review stars, FAQ dropdowns, how-to steps, product pricing, and other enhanced SERP features that increase click-through rates. Your VA implements and validates schema markup across your site using JSON-LD format, including Organization, Article, FAQ, Product, LocalBusiness, and other relevant schemas. They monitor Google's Rich Results test and Search Console reports to ensure schema is generating the intended rich results.
Site Architecture and Internal Linking
Your VA optimizes your site's information architecture to ensure that link equity flows efficiently from high-authority pages to pages that need ranking support. They audit internal link distribution, identify orphaned pages (pages with no internal links pointing to them), build topic clusters that group related content, and ensure that your most important pages are accessible within 2-3 clicks from the homepage.
Pro Tip
Run a technical SEO audit in the first week of your engagement. The audit findings become the initial work queue for your VA, prioritized by impact. Most sites have 20-50 technical issues that, once resolved, produce immediate ranking improvements. This audit-first approach generates quick wins that demonstrate value while your VA works on the longer-term content and link building strategies that compound over time.
Content SEO and Optimization
Content is the vehicle through which you rank for target keywords and attract organic traffic. Your Filipino SEO specialist brings both the technical optimization skills and the English writing ability to create content that ranks and converts.
Content Gap Analysis
Your VA identifies topics your competitors rank for that your site does not cover. Using tools like Ahrefs Content Gap, SEMrush, and manual SERP analysis, they discover keyword opportunities that represent traffic you are leaving on the table. The output is a prioritized list of content opportunities ranked by traffic potential, keyword difficulty, and business relevance.
Search Intent Matching
Every keyword has an intent — informational, navigational, commercial, or transactional. Your VA analyzes the SERP for each target keyword to understand what Google is rewarding: long-form guides, comparison pages, product listings, tools, or quick answers. Content that matches the dominant intent for a keyword ranks; content that mismatches intent does not, regardless of quality. Your VA ensures every piece of content aligns with the intent that Google has determined for its target keyword.
Content Creation and Optimization
Your VA writes SEO-optimized content that balances keyword targeting with readability and engagement. They use optimization tools like Surfer SEO, Clearscope, or MarketMuse to ensure content covers the semantic topics and entities that Google expects for each keyword. The result is content that satisfies both the search algorithm and the human reader — comprehensive enough to rank, engaging enough to keep visitors on the page, and actionable enough to convert.
Content Refresh and Update Strategy
SEO content has a lifecycle. Pages that ranked well six months ago may be declining as competitors publish newer content or as the topic evolves. Your VA monitors content performance, identifies pages with declining traffic or rankings, and refreshes them with updated information, additional sections, improved optimization, and fresh publication dates. Content refreshes often recover lost rankings more efficiently than creating new content from scratch.
Featured Snippet Optimization
Featured snippets — the answer boxes that appear at position zero in Google results — capture significant click-through rates. Your VA identifies keywords where you rank on page one but do not hold the featured snippet, then optimizes your content to capture it. Strategies include adding concise paragraph answers, structured lists, comparison tables, and clear definitions that Google can extract for the snippet position.
Key Insight
The most effective SEO content strategy combines creation and optimization. Your VA should spend roughly 60% of content time creating new pages targeting uncovered keywords and 40% refreshing and improving existing pages that have ranking potential but need optimization. This balanced approach builds new traffic while protecting existing rankings — the two levers that drive sustained organic growth.
See What Our Clients Have to Say
Link Building and Off-Page SEO
Backlinks remain one of the strongest ranking factors in Google's algorithm. Your Filipino SEO specialist manages link building campaigns that grow your domain authority and drive keyword rankings.
Competitor Backlink Analysis
Your VA analyzes the backlink profiles of your top-ranking competitors using Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Majestic. They identify the sources of your competitors' links — which publications link to them, what content earns links, and which link building tactics they use. This analysis reveals specific link opportunities: if ten competitors have links from the same industry directory, your VA secures a listing. If a competitor earned links from a specific type of content (original research, infographics, tools), your VA plans similar content to attract similar links.
Guest Posting and Content Placement
Your VA identifies relevant publications that accept guest contributions, pitches article ideas with SEO value (topics that support your keyword strategy), writes or briefs the content, and manages the publication process. Quality guest posting targets sites with genuine editorial standards and relevant audiences — not link farms or pay-for-post schemes that Google penalizes. Your VA maintains a prospect database of target publications, tracks outreach status, and manages the editorial calendar for guest content.
Resource Page and Broken Link Building
Resource page link building involves identifying pages that curate links to relevant resources in your industry, then pitching your content for inclusion. Broken link building finds broken links on relevant pages and offers your content as a replacement. Both tactics are white-hat, scalable, and particularly effective for businesses with strong resource content. Your VA manages the prospecting, outreach, and tracking for both tactics.
Digital PR and Linkable Asset Creation
The most sustainable link building strategy is creating content that naturally attracts links — original research, data studies, interactive tools, comprehensive guides, and visual assets. Your VA identifies linkable content opportunities based on what earns links in your industry, helps create the content, and promotes it through targeted outreach to journalists, bloggers, and industry publications. This approach builds links at scale while creating genuine content value.
Link Profile Monitoring and Disavow
Your VA monitors your backlink profile for toxic or spammy links that could trigger Google penalties. Using Ahrefs, SEMrush, or Google's Disavow Tool, they identify problematic links, attempt removal through webmaster contact, and submit disavow files for links that cannot be removed. Regular link profile monitoring protects your domain authority from negative SEO attacks and the natural accumulation of low-quality links over time.
VA Masters specifically assesses link building experience during our SEO candidate evaluation. Candidates must demonstrate knowledge of white-hat link building tactics, show examples of successful outreach campaigns, and articulate the difference between link building strategies that build long-term authority versus tactics that risk Google penalties. We do not place SEO specialists who rely on black-hat or manipulative link building practices.
SEO Tools and Platforms
Your SEO specialist works with a stack of specialized tools. Here is the standard toolkit for comprehensive SEO management.
All-in-One SEO Platforms
Ahrefs, SEMrush, and Moz provide comprehensive SEO functionality — keyword research, rank tracking, backlink analysis, site auditing, and competitive intelligence. Your VA uses one of these as their primary platform, supplemented by specialized tools for specific functions. Most Filipino SEO specialists have hands-on experience with at least one major platform from their BPO or agency work.
Google's Free Tools
Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Google PageSpeed Insights, and Google Keyword Planner provide first-party data that no third-party tool can replicate. Your VA monitors Search Console daily for indexation issues, crawl errors, and performance trends. GA4 provides organic traffic and conversion data. These free tools form the foundation of any SEO analytics setup.
Technical SEO Tools
Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, and ContentKing handle technical crawling and auditing at a level of detail that all-in-one platforms do not match. Your VA uses these tools for deep technical audits, monitoring, and issue identification. For large sites, these tools are essential for efficient technical SEO management.
Content Optimization Tools
Surfer SEO, Clearscope, MarketMuse, and Frase help ensure content covers the semantic topics and entities that Google expects for target keywords. Your VA uses these tools during content creation and optimization to produce content that meets topical comprehensiveness standards.
Rank Tracking
While Ahrefs and SEMrush include rank tracking, dedicated tools like AccuRanker, SERPWatcher, and Nightwatch provide more granular tracking with higher update frequency. Your VA tracks keyword rankings daily or weekly and flags significant movements that need attention — both opportunities (keywords nearing page one) and threats (keywords losing positions).
Cost and Pricing
SEO outsourcing to the Philippines offers dramatic cost advantages compared to both domestic hiring and agency retainers.
A US-based SEO specialist costs $55,000-$85,000 per year in salary. An SEO agency retainer ranges from $2,000-$10,000 per month for comprehensive services. Through VA Masters, a dedicated Filipino SEO specialist costs $8-14 per hour, or approximately $16,600-$29,100 per year full-time. That represents up to 80% savings versus domestic hiring and typically provides more dedicated hours than an agency retainer at a lower total cost.
The comparison with agency pricing is particularly compelling. A $5,000/month agency retainer buys you a portion of a strategist's time, shared across multiple clients. The same $5,000 per month buys a full-time dedicated SEO specialist through VA Masters who works exclusively on your site, 40 hours per week, learning your business deeply and executing with the consistency that SEO success requires. For businesses building comprehensive digital marketing operations, an SEO specialist pairs naturally with content, social media, and paid advertising VAs to create a full-stack marketing team at a fraction of domestic cost.
Key Insight
SEO ROI compounds over time. Unlike paid advertising where traffic stops when you stop paying, organic traffic from SEO work accumulates. A page that ranks on page one continues generating traffic for months or years without additional investment. Your VA's work in month three continues generating returns in month twelve and beyond. This compounding effect means the long-term ROI of outsourced SEO is among the highest of any marketing investment.
Working with VA Masters completely changed the way I handle recruitment. Bringing Raquel on board as my Virtual Assistant has been a huge relief. She takes care of coordinating interviews, tracking candidate progress, and managing job publications, which frees up my time for strategic growth and interviews. One of the biggest benefits is not having to deal with the logistics side of things. Everything from payroll to performance reviews is managed smoothly by VA Masters, so I can focus on my business without getting bogged down by admin work. It’s reassuring to know there’s always someone to help ensure Raquel stays engaged and productive. I genuinely appreciate the support and efficiency they bring to my team. If you’re looking to grow your business without the usual stress, I can’t recommend them enough.

Get in Touch →Measuring SEO Results
SEO is a long-term investment, but that does not mean you wait six months to measure anything. Track these metrics from day one to evaluate progress and optimize the program.
Organic Traffic
Track total organic sessions monthly and break them down by landing page, keyword cluster, and content type. Organic traffic is the primary output metric for SEO. Growth should be visible within 3-6 months for new SEO programs and immediately for programs that start with technical fixes and content optimization of existing pages.
Keyword Rankings
Track rankings for your target keywords weekly. Focus on the percentage of keywords ranking on page one, keywords moving from page two to page one (where traffic impact is highest), and new keywords entering the top 100. Ranking improvements precede traffic increases, so ranking data provides early signals that the program is working.
Organic Conversions
Traffic without conversions is vanity. Track organic conversions — form submissions, phone calls, purchases, sign-ups — attributed to organic search. This metric connects SEO investment directly to business outcomes and provides the ROI data that justifies continued investment.
Backlink Growth
Track referring domains, new links acquired monthly, and domain authority (or domain rating) trends. These metrics measure the effectiveness of your link building efforts and predict future ranking potential.
Technical Health Score
Maintain a technical health score based on regular site audits. Track the number of open technical issues, time-to-resolution, and the trend over time. A declining issue count indicates improving technical health; a rising count suggests new issues are being introduced faster than they are resolved.
Pro Tip
Create a monthly SEO dashboard that your VA updates with organic traffic, keyword rankings, backlink growth, conversions, and technical health metrics. Include a "wins" section highlighting specific achievements — a new page-one ranking, a high-value backlink acquired, or a technical fix that improved Core Web Vitals. This dashboard keeps stakeholders informed and demonstrates the cumulative value of consistent SEO investment.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
These are the mistakes that most commonly undermine outsourced SEO programs.
Expecting Instant Results
SEO is not paid advertising. Results take 3-6 months to become significant, and 6-12 months to reach full potential. Businesses that abandon SEO after two months of "no results" never give the program enough time for the compounding effect to kick in. Set realistic timeline expectations and use leading indicators (rankings, indexation, backlink growth) to measure progress before traffic materializes.
All Strategy, No Execution
Some businesses hire an SEO specialist and spend months in strategy and planning mode without producing actual deliverables — optimized pages, published content, acquired links. Your VA should be executing within the first two weeks. Strategy is important, but it should be a living framework that evolves through execution, not a multi-month planning exercise that delays results.
Ignoring Technical SEO
You cannot content-your-way out of technical problems. If your site has crawl issues, Core Web Vitals failures, or indexation problems, no amount of content or link building will produce the results you expect. Technical SEO should be the first priority in any new engagement — fix the foundation before building the house.
Black-Hat Link Building
Cheap link building services that sell PBN links, link exchanges, or comment spam produce short-term results followed by long-term penalties. Google's algorithm detects manipulative link patterns with increasing sophistication, and a manual penalty can destroy years of SEO work overnight. Your VA should use only white-hat link building tactics that build sustainable authority.
No Content Quality Standard
Content that is "good enough for SEO" is not good enough. Google increasingly rewards content that demonstrates E-E-A-T (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness). Set quality standards that require genuine depth, original insights, and practical value — not keyword-stuffed filler that technically covers a topic but provides no real value to readers.
Common Mistake
Do not assign your SEO VA ten different marketing tasks and expect SEO results. SEO requires focused, consistent effort to produce results. If your VA spends 10 hours on SEO, 10 hours on social media, 10 hours on email marketing, and 10 hours on content creation, you get mediocre results across all four instead of strong results in SEO. Dedicate your SEO VA to SEO. If you need a generalist, hire a generalist — but do not expect specialist-level SEO outcomes from a generalist role.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to outsource SEO to the Philippines?
Through VA Masters, dedicated SEO specialists cost between $8 and $14 per hour depending on experience level and specialization (technical SEO vs. content SEO vs. full-service). This represents up to 80% savings compared to domestic SEO hiring and typically costs less than agency retainers while providing more dedicated hours. A full-time SEO VA costs approximately $16,600-$29,100 per year.
How long does it take to see SEO results from an outsourced specialist?
Technical SEO fixes can produce results within weeks. Content optimization improvements typically show ranking changes within 2-3 months. New content and link building strategies generally take 3-6 months to produce significant traffic increases. SEO is a compounding investment — results grow over time as authority builds and content accumulates.
What SEO tools do your specialists use?
Our SEO specialists are proficient with Ahrefs, SEMrush, Moz, Google Search Console, Google Analytics 4, Screaming Frog, Sitebulb, Surfer SEO, Clearscope, and other industry-standard tools. They also work with CMS platforms like WordPress, Shopify, and Webflow for implementing on-page optimizations.
Can a Filipino VA handle technical SEO?
Yes. VA Masters sources SEO candidates with strong technical backgrounds — many have experience conducting crawl audits, optimizing Core Web Vitals, implementing structured data, managing sitemaps and robots.txt, and resolving indexation issues. We test technical proficiency during our assessment process and match candidates to your technical requirements.
Is outsourced SEO content high enough quality for Google?
Filipino SEO specialists write fluent, natural English content that meets Google's quality standards. VA Masters tests writing quality as part of our SEO assessment, evaluating grammar, readability, topical depth, and E-E-A-T signals. For specialized industries requiring subject matter expertise, we recommend a collaboration model where your internal experts provide input and your VA handles optimization and structure.
How do I manage an outsourced SEO specialist?
Set clear deliverables and timelines — keyword research by date X, content published weekly, technical audit monthly, link building targets per month. Review weekly reports showing work completed, rankings tracked, and traffic trends. Use project management tools like Asana, Trello, or Monday.com for task tracking. VA Masters provides management best practices during onboarding.
Should I hire an SEO generalist or specialist?
For most businesses, start with a generalist who can handle the full SEO workflow — technical audits, keyword research, content optimization, and link building. As your program matures and produces results, consider adding specialists for specific high-volume functions like content creation or link building. VA Masters can advise on the optimal team structure based on your site size and competitive landscape.
How quickly can I get an SEO VA through VA Masters?
VA Masters presents 2-3 pre-vetted SEO candidates within 1-2 weeks. Our recruitment process includes SEO-specific assessments covering technical proficiency, keyword research methodology, content optimization skills, and analytical capability. Total time from consultation to productive SEO work is typically 3-4 weeks including onboarding.
What is the difference between hiring an SEO VA and using an SEO agency?
An SEO agency provides a team that splits attention across multiple clients. A VA Masters SEO specialist works exclusively for your business, 40 hours per week, learning your site deeply and executing with total focus. Most businesses find that a dedicated VA produces more total output at lower cost than an agency retainer. However, agencies may be preferable for businesses that need strategic consulting rather than execution capacity.
Can my SEO VA also handle other digital marketing tasks?
While SEO VAs can handle adjacent tasks like Google Analytics setup, Google Ads management, and content marketing, we recommend keeping your SEO VA focused on SEO for the best results. SEO requires consistent, dedicated effort to compound. If you need broader digital marketing support, VA Masters can place additional specialists for social media, paid ads, or email marketing alongside your SEO VA.
