Here are some of the common questions about Virtual Assistant Group

Your VA can help you with just about anything. From marketing, bookkeeping, executive assistance, paralegal work and more. Need a website designed? We’re on it. Write a blog? Sure thing. Online shopping? Done. We can do pretty much anything that can be done virtually (online, over the phone).

We assign virtual assistants based on the types of projects that the VA will be working on and skills needed. Before we assign a VA, we contact you to learn what projects you will have your VA work on. Based on this information, we identify a VA with the appropriate skills for the project to assign to you.

No, they do not. For this reason, we suggest that you conservatively estimate how many hours of assistance you will need before selecting a plan. If you need additional hours, you can upgrade at any time.

Not a problem! If you run out of hours, upgrade your plan. You will have 30 days from the time of your upgrade to use your newly purchased hours.

Nope. We only require that the user be a member of the account owner’s business and would be qualified to sign up for their own plan under our Terms of Use. If they satisfy these requirements, the account owner only needs to inform the VA of the new user for them to be able to use the service.

We offer monthly plans in increments of 5, 10, 15, 30 and 50 hours per month. Simply visit our plans and pricing page, sign up for the package of your choice and that’s it!

Our Marketing Pros differ from our VAs in both their role and experience. As experienced marketing managers and directors, Marketing Pros have expertise developing marketing strategy and performing advanced campaign management. Use a Marketing Pro to develop your marketing strategy and a VA to execute it.

Absolutely. In fact, we recommend using VAs to execute your marketing projects. VAs can draft social media posts, author marketing emails, revise the layout and text of your web page, and more. If your marketing strategy is set, but you need somebody to execute it, work with a VA. If you’re looking for somebody to analyze your business and develop a marketing strategy, work with a Marketing Pro, and then have a VA execute that strategy.

You are billed on the day that you sign up and then billed again every 30 days thereafter. For example, if you sign up on March 14, you will next be billed for your plan on April 14. If you upgrade your plan before the end of the 30 days, your billing period will reset from the day of the upgrade. To use the same example, if you upgraded your plan on March 30, the next date that your credit card would be charged is April 30. Your card will be automatically charged each month unless you cancel your plan by phone or email.
