Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to hire a Filipino digital marketing VA?
In 2026, a generalist marketing VA handling execution tasks costs $400–$800/month, a channel specialist in SEO, paid ads, or email costs $800–$1,400, and a senior strategist managing budget and multiple channels costs $1,400–$2,500.

What's the difference between a digital marketing VA and a social media manager?
A social media manager focuses specifically on organic content and community management across social platforms. A digital marketing VA has a broader remit that can include SEO, paid advertising, email marketing, and lead generation — channels beyond social. Some people cover both; name the channels you need in your job post.
What tools should a Filipino digital marketing VA know?
Common tools include Google Analytics and Search Console for SEO, Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads for paid campaigns, Mailchimp or Klaviyo for email, and Semrush or Ahrefs for research. Expect deep familiarity with the tools relevant to the channel you're hiring for, not all of them at expert level.
