Digital marketing has more “admin layer at agency price” than any other function in a small business. A marketing VA handles the operational 60% so your strategist or agency can focus on the 40% that actually moves the needle.
What this placement covers
Every DotVA placement is dedicated — one VA, one client. The tasks above are the core scope, calibrated against 48+ DotVA placements. Add or remove items via the SOP in week 1.
Pricing + placement
This role sits in our specialist tier: AUD $18-$25/hr (excl GST). At a typical 15-30 hours/week placement, that’s approximately AUD $2,095/month all-in. A $500 refundable deposit covers our recruiting + placement work.
Placement time is 7-10 days from discovery call to your VA starting. We replace at no extra cost inside the 30-day satisfaction window.
What you bring
Two things: a 30-minute weekly check-in in week 1-2 (dropping to 20 minutes by week 4), and a willingness to write things down. SOPs, preferences, recurring decisions. Your VA reads them. Everything else — recruiting, vetting, onboarding, performance management, replacement coverage — sits with us.
Book a discovery call and we’ll confirm whether this is the right tier for your situation.

Common questions about hiring a specialist va
Can the VA run paid ads?
Paid Google/Meta/LinkedIn ads at meaningful spend ($5k+/month) need a specialist, not a generalist marketing VA. We can recommend specialists. The VA can handle reporting, audience builds, and creative briefs.
Can the VA write SEO content?
Yes, with editorial oversight. They're strong at briefs, outlines, and first drafts. Best paired with a Claude Pro workflow for draft acceleration. Final QA stays with your marketing lead.
Will the VA replace our agency?
Usually not — they complement. The agency does strategy + creative; the VA does the operational layer that agencies bill at $150/hr but is really $25/hr work.
