FAQ
Questions, answered
Still unsure? Send us a message and we will help.
Who is this platform for?
Aspiring and junior virtual assistants who want to offer SEO and content services, and working VAs who want to sharpen specific skills like keyword research, on-page optimization or audits.
Do I need SEO experience to start?
No. Beginner assignments explain every step, link to the guides and glossary terms you need, and build up gradually to intermediate and advanced client work.
How is this different from an online course?
Courses mostly explain. Here you practice: each assignment is a simulated client job with a brief, tasks and a deliverable that gets reviewed and scored.
Who reviews my work?
Submissions are reviewed by mentors and instructors against a clear rubric. Some short exercises are scored instantly.
Are the clients real?
No. Every client, website and dataset is fictional, so you can practice freely without risking a real business. The tasks and standards mirror real agency work.
Do I get a certificate?
Yes. Completing a learning path issues a certificate with a unique verification code that clients can check.
Clients don’t hire certificates. They hire proof of work.
