Top Tips + Must-Have Features for your Virtual Assistant Website
Hey Y’all!
In my last blog post I shared about being the CEO of your VA business…
Today I want to talk about your website for your VA business!
At the #IVAA Live Summit I attended in May, Kathy Colaiacova with Pepper It Marketing did an amazing session on how to have an amazing website for your VA business.
So today I’m diving back into my notes from Kathy’s amazing session and sharing my top takeaways from her presentation with my fellow VAs!
Very Important Website Tips:
The main goal of your website needs to be building credibility and trust.
Your website needs to speak to your ideal client.
You need to have testimonials on your website.
Make your content about your visitor.
Make sure *you* own the domain and hosting.
Make sure the mobile version of your website looks nice, too!
5 things you need to let visitors to your website know:
Who you are
How you help people
What you do to help people
Why you are the one to help people
How they can contact you
Basic website pages needed:
Home
About
Testimonials
Services
Contact
Blog
BONUS Page: Lead magnet/email list builder
One of my favorite questions raised in Kathy’s presentation was this:
Should you put your rates on your VA website?
And the answer is… It’s totally up to you! :)
On one hand it’s good to have them on there, because it weeds out people who are just shopping by price and not value.
But by excluding your fee from your website, you get the opportunity to invite people to schedule a call with you where you can share value with them and then share your fee. The idea is that they will be so happy with the value shared that your fee won’t be an issue.
Personally, I’ve never listed my monthly retainer fee on my website and only once have I ever had someone tell me that my fee was too high [and she ended up booking a VIP Implemetation Day with me anyways!] So, my suggestion is to not put your fee on your website, but again, it’s totally up to you!
I hope the above tips I learned from Kathy’s session are super helpful to you. You can visit Kathy’s website here and be sure to follow her on Instagram here.
And comment below and let me know what changes you're making to your website based on the advice above!!
