Working with Expansion Desk has been a great experience. The onboarding was smooth, the team coordination is excellent, and support is always available when needed. The culture here truly values people, and it shows in how approachable and professional everyone is.
Arsalan AshrafExpansion Desk has every remote employee you could possibly need. I’ve hired several, and each time I got ethical people with invaluable oversight by Prateek (one of the owners) to ensure their performance remained on par. This is the only remote worker / VA company I trust with sensitive projects.
Sarah Nicole NadlerChimney Clean Co, one of my companies, hired Expansion Desk e-employees for a couple one-off projects which were successfully completed and saved hours of time and thousands in payroll. We also hired a Digital Marketing Dir who has not only saved us about $3000 per month but she’s also increased our new leads and jobs by about 20% over time. We will continue to utilize them in the future for our off-shore hiring needs.
Jennifer MaasI’m incredibly grateful to the Expansion Desk for allowing me to be a part of their team. Thank you for placing your immense trust in me, believing that yes, she can do it! Thanks to your unwavering support, I’ve proudly completed an amazing year with the organisation. Your encouragement, motivation, and constant guidance — even in the tiniest steps — have truly elevated me, both professionally and personally. You’ve not only believed in my capabilities but also empowered me to believe in myself. Here’s to achieving greater milestones together. With deep gratitude and pride, I look forward to what lies ahead! Thank you! – Chesta

A social media virtual assistant is a remote professional who manages your brand’s presence across social platforms. They handle content creation, scheduling, community engagement, hashtag research, and performance reporting — so your social media runs consistently without requiring your daily involvement.
Both. Your VA can draft captions, source or create visuals using tools like Canva, research hashtags, and schedule everything in advance. They work from your brand guidelines and any direction you provide — and improve over time as they learn your voice.
No. Our social media virtual assistant services are flexible by design. You can adjust hours, pause, or scale up your plan as your business needs change — no long lock-in periods required.
Yes — our VAs can assist with ad creative preparation, audience targeting research, and boosted post coordination. For full campaign strategy and media buying, they work best in support of your existing marketing lead or agency.
Yes. Our VAs are available across multiple time zones to align with your business hours, whether you operate in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia.
Our social media VAs are experienced across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube. When we match you with a VA, we confirm platform expertise based on your specific needs.
Most clients are matched with a qualified social media VA within 48 hours of submitting their requirements. After approval, your VA can begin onboarding almost immediately.
During onboarding, your VA reviews your existing content, brand guidelines, and any examples you share. We also provide onboarding support to make sure the transition is smooth. Most VAs align with their client’s voice within the first week.
A virtual assistant agency vets, trains, and matches professionals for you — and provides backup support if your VA is unavailable. With a freelancer, you handle all sourcing, vetting, and management yourself, which takes time and carries more risk of disruption.
Absolutely. Small businesses and solopreneurs benefit the most because they typically have no dedicated social media support at all. Even 10 to 15 hours per week of consistent posting and engagement can significantly improve brand visibility and lead generation.
