Philippines staffing guide
How to run a content-update audit with a virtual assistant
Find stale pages, verify changed facts, prioritize useful updates, and preserve an evidence trail for every revision.
Key takeaways
- Prioritize pages by risk and reader value.
- Verify facts before changing the displayed date.
- Record what changed and why.
Build the inventory
Export URLs with title, last meaningful update, traffic or business importance, content owner, and known dependencies. Group pages by topic so related claims can be reviewed together.
Score update risk
Give priority to pages containing prices, laws, product behavior, named personnel, statistics, or safety advice. A high-traffic evergreen guide may need less urgent work than a low-traffic page with a materially wrong claim.
Verify and revise
Compare each time-sensitive statement with current primary evidence. Update the explanation, links, metadata, and related pages; do not merely swap the date or rearrange wording.
Keep a change record
Log the old claim, new claim, evidence, reviewer, and public URL. After publishing, verify the page and decide when the next review should occur.
Questions for the hiring call
"I want help with these tasks first: [tasks]. Here are examples of good work. Here is what you should send back for approval. Can you show me how you would handle the first three items?"
Use this on a call with a Philippines staffing provider or Filipino freelancer. It keeps the discussion on the work instead of broad promises.
FAQ
Does correcting a typo justify a new publication date?
Usually no. Use the site’s policy to distinguish minor maintenance from a substantive update.
What should happen to an obsolete page?
The owner should choose whether to rewrite, redirect, consolidate, archive, or retain it based on reader need and site architecture.
