WordPress Elementor + GeoDirectory Expert Needed

We have recently launched a major rebuild of I Love Manchester, a busy city media and What's On website, and are looking for an experienced WordPress developer with strong Elementor Pro and GeoDirectory experience to help us iron out some post-launch issues and generally improve the look, feel and user experience. The site is already live and functioning. We need someone who understands the existing setup, can identify what is causing particular behaviours and make sensible improvements without creating unnecessary custom code or breaking other parts of the site. The current stack includes: - WordPress - Elementor Pro - GeoDirectory for Places/business listings - GeoDirectory Events for What's On/event listings - GeoDirectory Location Manager / location functionality - WooCommerce - MemberPress - Yoast SEO - Advanced Ads - Cloudflare - Imagify The overall idea is that each specialist plugin does what it is good at, with Elementor handling the presentation and templates, rather than trying to force everything through one theme. Some of the issues we currently need looking at: GeoDirectory / Places - Places currently only seem to appear on the relevant area or neighbourhood page when the location is manually tagged. We would expect the physical address/location data to drive this wherever possible. - Review the way Place category archives work. For example, Cafes & Coffee Shops currently sends users into GeoDirectory URLs such as /places/category/cafes-coffee/greater-manchester/manchester/. We want to make sure the structure and UX make sense. - A user has reported problems trying to submit/add a listing, so the complete front-end submission journey needs testing. - Review Places search and filters generally and suggest improvements. GeoDirectory Events / What's On - Existing formatting issue involving commas on event listings. - "Load More" isn't working on some Event search/archive results. - Event date display needs improving. It currently tends to show either "From [date]" or "Until [date]". For events with a defined run, we would like the start and end dates to be much clearer. - Some listings can give the impression that an event starts on a particular date and then continues indefinitely. We need sensible handling of end dates and recurring events. - Review event ordering, recurrence and archive/search behaviour generally. Search / UX - Our Explore search currently allows a user to select the type of venue in the first field, but selecting it can immediately trigger the search before they have had the chance to enter the area/location in the second field. - We want the overall Places and Events search experience to feel intuitive, particularly on mobile. - We'd welcome recommendations on anything else you notice that adds unnecessary friction. Performance We would also like somebody to review the implementation from a performance perspective, including: - Elementor output - GeoDirectory queries and widgets - Image sizing and optimisation - JPG/WebP/appropriate image formats rather than unnecessarily large PNG photographs - Imagify - Lazy loading - Caching - Cloudflare configuration - Compression - Static asset caching - Any obvious front-end bloat We are not expecting somebody to promise an arbitrary PageSpeed score. We want an experienced developer who can identify where the genuine bottlenecks are and make sensible improvements. How we would like to work The website is live and commercially important, so we need somebody methodical. Initially, we'd like somebody to audit the issues above, tell us what is straightforward, what requires development and what may simply be configuration, then agree priorities and cost before proceeding. We're looking for somebody we can potentially build an ongoing relationship with, so good communication is just as important as technical ability. When applying Please include: - Specific examples of sites you've built or worked on using GeoDirectory and Elementor Pro. - Your experience with GeoDirectory Events, Location Manager and Advanced Search if applicable. - How you would approach diagnosing the issues above. - Your availability. - Whether you prefer hourly or fixed-price work. - An initial estimate for reviewing the site and producing a prioritised list of fixes. Please don't send a generic WordPress proposal. GeoDirectory experience is important for this project. Website: ilovemanchester.com

Video editor needed for reels

Video Editor — Editing Style & Ongoing Content Brief I’m looking for a video editor to work with on an ongoing basis, primarily creating short-form content for social media. I’ve included the Instagram page below as a reference for the editing style I’m looking for: What I particularly like about their content is the overall editing style, pacing, transitions, visual effects, colour grading, text animation, sound design, and polished feel. I’m looking for someone who can replicate that overall style as closely as possible rather than simply creating a generic “Reels/TikTok” edit. The main adaptation The one major difference is that I want to incorporate a talking-head video in the corner of the screen throughout the content. The primary footage/content would remain the focus, with my talking head appearing as a secondary element — positioned and styled in a way that feels natural within the reference editing style. I’d want the talking-head element to be integrated into the edit rather than simply looking like a webcam overlay. Things such as framing, masking, borders, shadows, movement, positioning and transitions should all feel intentional and consistent with the overall visual style. What I’m looking for Ideally, you would be comfortable with: * Fast-paced, engaging short-form editing * Replicating the reference page’s overall editing language * Dynamic cuts and transitions * Motion graphics and animated text * Clean typography and on-screen captions * Strong sound design and music selection * Professional colour grading * Subtle visual effects where appropriate * Zooms, punch-ins and movement to maintain attention * Integrating a talking-head element into the composition * Creating edits that feel polished and premium rather than templated Content volume I’m looking to publish approximately 3–4 videos per week, so I’m interested in building an ongoing working relationship with the right editor rather than hiring for a one-off project. Consistency is important to me, so once we establish the visual style, I’d want that style carried across every video. What I’d like to know from you Before moving forward, I’d like to know: 1. Is this style something you’re capable of replicating? 2. How closely can you match the editing, pacing, colour grading, transitions, text animation and overall visual style of the reference? 3. Are you comfortable incorporating a talking head in the corner while maintaining the same polished aesthetic? 4. Can you provide examples of similar work you’ve done? 5. What would your pricing look like for 3–4 videos per week? 6. What would your typical turnaround time be? 7. Would you be comfortable doing an initial test edit so I can see how closely you can match the reference? The most important thing for me is quality and consistency. I’m not necessarily looking for the cheapest editor — I’m looking for someone who can genuinely achieve the visual standard I’m after and become a reliable long-term editing partner.

B2B LinkedIn Prospecting & Multichannel SDR / Appointment Setter

We are a UK independent business energy consultancy looking for an experienced B2B prospecting professional to help us build and develop a consistent pipeline of qualified UK business opportunities. This is not simply a list-building role and it is not a high-volume scripted telesales position. We are looking for somebody who can identify the right businesses and decision-makers, approach them professionally through LinkedIn, develop initial conversations, research and enrich the opportunity where appropriate, and ultimately help move suitable prospects towards a telephone conversation or qualified appointment with our Managing Director. The role We will define the types of businesses we want to target. You will then help turn that targeting strategy into real prospects by identifying suitable companies and the appropriate business owners, Finance Directors, Operations Managers, Facilities Managers or other relevant decision-makers. LinkedIn and ideally LinkedIn Sales Navigator will initially be an important source of prospects. We will not provide access to our Managing Director's personal LinkedIn profile, so applicants should explain how they normally conduct LinkedIn prospecting and outreach. We are particularly interested in applicants who already have their own active LinkedIn profile and Sales Navigator access. We are looking for a professional, personal and consultative approach rather than automated mass messaging. Where a prospect engages, the objective is to understand whether there is a genuine potential opportunity and move the conversation forward appropriately. This may include obtaining further information, finding a telephone number or email address, arranging telephone follow-up, recording a future renewal opportunity or booking a qualified appointment. Telephone prospecting ability would therefore be a significant advantage. Our systems Prospect information and activity will need to be recorded in an InEnergy-controlled system. Initially, we envisage providing access to a controlled Zoho prospecting sheet where prospects can be entered and progressed through agreed stages. Suitable prospects will then move into our Zoho CRM for continued follow-up, telephone activity and opportunity management. We therefore do not expect the freelancer to retain the only copy of prospect information in their own spreadsheets or systems. We are happy to adapt the final workflow around the successful applicant if they already have a proven and efficient way of working. What matters to us We are more interested in quality and ownership of the process than simply volume. We want somebody who can research intelligently, communicate credibly with UK business decision-makers, keep accurate records, follow prospects up when promised and identify genuine opportunities rather than simply report activity. Trust, reliability and the ability to work independently are extremely important to us. Previous experience in commercial energy would be useful but is not essential. Experience with UK B2B sales, professional services, telecoms, finance, SaaS or other consultative B2B markets would also be relevant. The initial engagement will be a short paid trial, with the potential to become an ongoing role if the approach produces good-quality opportunities. Please can you confirm: Do you currently have and use your own LinkedIn Sales Navigator account? Do you personally contact prospects through LinkedIn, or do you mainly build lead lists for others? How do you normally take a prospect from LinkedIn research through to a conversation or booked appointment? Are you comfortable recording all prospects, conversations and follow-ups in a client-controlled system such as Zoho Sheet/CRM? Can you also make telephone calls to interested or suitable prospects, or would telephone follow-up need to be handled by somebody else? Please give one example of a B2B campaign where you personally sourced prospects through LinkedIn and generated genuine leads or appointments.

B2B Decision-Maker Researcher | Forensic Research

I run a market entry intelligence firm. I need a researcher who can build verified decision-maker profiles for B2B export campaigns. This is ongoing work for the right person. This is not a data list. This is not name scraping. This is not list building. Apollo, ZoomInfo, or similar tools can be a starting point. But if your final deliverable is a database export, do not apply. This project requires multi-source manual verification. You must know how to find information that is not sitting in a database and confirm it through independent sources. Deliverable Standard: Each profile must include: Full name, verified title, and company Decision authority mapping (who holds budget, who influences, who recommends) Contextual buying signals (hiring activity, expansion, new partnerships, supplier gaps) A tailored outreach angle (how to approach them and what to lead with) Verification Requirement: Multi-source manual verification is mandatory. This means cross-checking against live, independent sources — LinkedIn activity, company websites, press releases, industry registries, and corporate filings. The final profile must be confirmed through multiple sources, not pulled from a single database. To Apply: Please share 1–2 examples of similar decision-maker profiles you have built. Generic portfolios or list-building experience will not be considered. In your proposal, answer these three questions: What is your process for verifying a contact's authority and decision-making power? How do you identify buying signals and timing indicators? How do you handle contacts with little to no digital footprint? I will review samples and written process descriptions first. Shortlisted candidates will have a brief chat before any work begins. Budget: Negotiable based on experience and quality of samples

Web Designer Required – Property-Selling Platform MVP

Project I am an experienced UK estate agent developing a new property-selling platform giving homeowners more flexibility over how much estate-agent help they want. Instead of traditional percentage commission, sellers choose a monthly marketing package and can add individual services when required. Core message: Sell your property your way. No percentage commission. Choose the level of help you need. I need an experienced web designer/developer to design and build the MVP. This is intended to be a functional property platform, not a brochure website. Experience with UX/UI, subscriptions, payments, property listings, lead generation and APIs/integrations is highly desirable. Concept The platform will offer different monthly marketing packages, from DIY through to packages providing exposure across major UK property portals. Additional services may include: Photography and floorplans Property descriptions EPCs Sales boards Buyer qualification/negotiation Accompanied viewings Sales progression Some services will be monthly subscriptions and others one-off purchases. The website must make this distinction clear and allow customers to add services after signup. Design The website should be: Modern and professional Trustworthy and simple Conversion-focused Mobile-first It should feel like a strong property/technology brand, not a traditional high-street estate agent or cheap classified website. Reference Please look at OffAgent for reference regarding the category, service concept and customer journey. I do not want it copied or cloned. Branding, design, copy and UX must be original. MVP Requirements Homepage: Clearly explain the concept, benefits, how it works, pricing, optional services and no-percentage-commission model, with strong CTAs.

Property Listings: Individual professional property pages with photos, price, bedrooms/bathrooms, property type, features, description, floorplan, EPC, location and buyer enquiry CTA. The main CTA should be “Enquire about this property” rather than displaying the vendor's contact details. Buyer Enquiries: Buyers should submit name, email, telephone, message, preferred viewing time, buyer position, property and enquiry date/time. Enquiries should initially come to the business/platform. Vendor contact details must remain private, with leads then passed to the vendor. CRM I currently use Loop CRM within my existing estate agency. Please recommend the best integration approach, potentially using API/webhooks. Possible workflow: Website enquiry → Loop CRM → Internal record → Vendor notification I would prefer not to introduce another CRM unnecessarily. Payments The platform must support: Monthly recurring subscriptions One-off payments Adding services to existing customers Subscription management Payment confirmations/failed payments Receipts/invoices Stripe would be considered, subject to your recommendation. Admin The business should be able to manage sellers, properties, listings, enquiries, services, subscriptions, payments, property status and basic lead information.

KoboToolbox / XLSForm Specialist Needed — Fast 5-Day Build

I am looking for an experienced KoboToolbox/XLSForm specialist to convert existing Word/Excel research instruments into functional, field-ready digital data-collection tools. The questionnaires and research instruments have already been developed, so this is primarily a technical XLSForm/Kobo build rather than questionnaire design. The successful freelancer will need to understand the structure of the instruments, translate them accurately into KoboToolbox, implement the required logic and calculations, and test the forms before deployment. Tools to be developed The assignment includes: Household baseline questionnaire — the main and most complex instrument, including household-member repeat groups, livelihoods/income activities, businesses, fuel/energy records, calculations, relevant scoring and derived indicators. Group/table-banking verification form. Structured observation checklist. Structured KII/market data-collection form. KII/FGD session metadata/summary form. Technical requirements The forms will require appropriate use of: Skip/relevance logic and conditional sections. Repeat groups. Calculations and derived variables. Income/expenditure and energy-related totals. Validation and constraints. Required fields. Choice lists and appropriate question types. Metadata fields such as date/time, enumerator and location where applicable. Clean variable naming and logical form organisation. WHO-5 or other agreed scoring calculations where specified in the questionnaire. The freelancer should preserve the approved research questions and indicator definitions. Where a technical issue or possible simplification is identified, it should be flagged for discussion rather than changing the research design independently. Testing The completed forms should be uploaded to a test KoboToolbox project and checked for: Skip/relevance errors. Calculation errors. Repeat-group functionality. Validation/constraint issues. Basic enumerator usability. Offline functionality where applicable. One reasonable round of corrections will be required after my review. Deliverables The successful freelancer will provide: Fully functional KoboToolbox forms/project. Editable XLSForm .xlsx source files for each tool. Brief notes explaining important calculations or logic. Basic guidance for enumerators/data managers where necessary. Timeline and budget Fixed budget: USD 150 Maximum turnaround: 5 days. Quick turnaround is preferred. Applicants who can start immediately or within 24 hours are particularly encouraged to apply. Who I am looking for I need someone who has actually built multi-module Kobo/XLSForm instruments, rather than someone whose experience is limited to creating simple questionnaires. Please include 2 examples of comparable Kobo/ODK/XLSForm work, your earliest availability, and how quickly you can complete the assignment. The questionnaire and project information are confidential. The selected freelancer will be required to sign a simple NDA before receiving the complete confidential materials and KoboToolbox access.

Meta & TikTok Ads Setup – Shopify Beauty Brand

I’m looking for an experienced ecommerce performance marketer to set up and manage Meta Ads and TikTok Ads for HYGEA BEAUTY for an initial 2-month period. Website: hygeabeauty.com HYGEA is a UK Shopify beauty brand selling reusable makeup blending sponges. We currently have one core product in Multicolour and Black, with different bundle options: 1 pack – 5 sponges, 2 pack bundle, 3 pack bundle The aim is straightforward: generate profitable online sales and identify which audiences, offers, creatives and platforms work best. **Scope** I need someone to handle: 1. Meta Business Manager / Ads Manager setup and review 2. TikTok Ads account setup/review 3. Meta Pixel + Conversion API / Shopify tracking 4. TikTok Pixel and conversion tracking 5. Correct Purchase, Add to Cart and Checkout events 6. Campaign structure and targeting 7. Prospecting and retargeting 8. Ad copy 9. Static/image ads 10. Testing different hooks, offers and bundles 11. A/B testing creatives and audiences 12. Regular campaign optimisation for 3 months until everything is optimised and all ad types are setup 13. Budget allocation based on performance 14. Weekly performance updates initially, with clear monthly reporting on CPA, ROAS, CTR, conversion rate and sales going forward 15. Recommendations for improving the website/product page where relevant I don't want campaigns simply switched on and left running. I'm looking for someone who will actively analyse the results, cut poor-performing ads, test new ideas and move budget towards what is working. *Creative testing* We will have professional product photography available and can provide existing brand/product assets. I'm particularly interested in testing different advertising angles, including: - Premium-quality beauty sponges at an affordable price - Value of receiving 5 sponges per pack - Bundle/value offers - Product demonstrations - Before/application/after concepts - Beauty routine content - Static vs video/UGC-style advertising - Different hooks and opening messages I'm open to the freelancer recommending other approaches based on previous beauty/ecommerce experience. *Video / UGC ads* If you can also create high-quality short-form video or UGC-style ads, please quote this separately. I'm happy to pay extra for video creative where there is a strong reason to believe it will improve Meta/TikTok performance compared with relying only on static images. This could include: - Product demonstration videos - Hands applying foundation with the sponge - Beauty routine/GRWM style content - UGC-style testimonials/concepts - Voiceover ads - Hook-focused TikTok/Reels creatives - Multiple edited versions/hooks from the same footage Please explain exactly what video content you can provide and the additional cost. *Important* Because we're an early-stage brand with one main product, I don't want unnecessarily complicated campaigns. I'd prefer someone who can start lean, generate data, identify winning creatives/offers and then scale what works. I'm also open to prioritising Meta initially and introducing TikTok once we have enough data/creative, if you believe that will produce better results than splitting a limited budget across both from day one. *Budget* Approximately £350–£500 fixed price for initial setup and 2-3 months of active optimisation/management. Advertising spend is separate. I'm happy to consider a higher proposal for someone with a particularly strong track record with Shopify beauty/ecommerce brands. Video/UGC content can be quoted separately. When applying, please include: 1. Examples/results from Shopify or ecommerce campaigns you've managed 2. Beauty/cosmetics experience if available 3. Typical ROAS/CPA examples from comparable products 4. Exactly what you'll do during the 2-month period 5. How often you optimise campaigns 6. Your approach to testing creatives 7. Whether you'd launch Meta and TikTok together or phase them 8. Whether you can create video/UGC ads and the cost 9. What advertising budget you'd recommend initially for Hygea Beauty 10. Any initial thoughts after reviewing hygeabeauty.com Please don't send a generic copy-and-paste proposal. I'm looking for someone performance-focused who could continue working with Hygea Beauty long-term if the initial campaigns perform well.

GEO / AEO Specialist Needed for FMCG Brand Pilot

Please note: start your reply with 'GEO' or I will not look at your application, thank you. Hi there, I’m looking for an experienced GEO / AEO / AI Search specialist to support me on a potential project for a major FMCG/drinks brand. I lead the strategy and insight side of the work. I already have a strong understanding of the consumer journey, AI querying, social listening and the questions consumers are asking. I’m now looking for a specialist who can help turn that strategic work into technically sound GEO execution. This is not a traditional SEO brief with GEO terminology added on top. I’m looking for someone who understands how brands can improve their visibility and likelihood of being referenced, cited or recommended within AI-driven search environments such as ChatGPT, Google AI Mode / Gemini and similar platforms. The initial work is likely to focus on a small pilot around one brand and one clearly defined consumer territory, rather than a full website transformation. For example, I may already have identified: the priority consumer occasion the questions people are asking relevant products / SKUs the language, barriers and decision cues consumers use existing brand and category evidence I would then want to work with you to translate that into the appropriate GEO execution. The kind of support I may need This could include: Auditing the existing website from a GEO / AEO perspective Reviewing crawlability, indexability, robots.txt and AI crawler access Assessing technical SEO foundations before GEO work begins Reviewing site architecture and internal linking Assessing structured data / schema opportunities Establishing a baseline for AI visibility, citations and brand appearances Helping define the priority prompt / question set we should monitor Recommending changes to existing product and content pages Structuring content so that answers are clear, contextual and easy for AI systems to retrieve Advising on FAQ / Q&A architecture Identifying opportunities for recipe, occasion, comparison or educational content Helping connect questions to the most appropriate product / SKU rather than forcing brand relevance Advising on retailer / PDP content where appropriate Identifying external citation / authority opportunities Monitoring how AI visibility changes following implementation Re-testing prompts and adapting the approach based on results I’m particularly interested in someone who understands that SEO fundamentals come first, then GEO adds context, answer structure, corroboration and ongoing testing. I also want someone who understands that AI results are fluid. We are not looking for a one-off “ranking report”; the aim is to establish a baseline and then monitor how visibility, mentions and citations develop. The ideal person You should have practical experience with some or all of: Generative Engine Optimisation / GEO Answer Engine Optimisation / AEO Technical SEO Structured data / schema AI search visibility monitoring ChatGPT search Google AI Overviews / AI Mode Gemini Perplexity or other AI answer engines Prompt-set monitoring / citation tracking Content architecture for AI retrieval Entity / brand authority signals Digital PR / third-party citation strategy Experience in FMCG, retail, food, drink or eCommerce would be particularly useful, but it is not essential if your GEO experience is strong. Important I am not looking to hand over the strategic project. I would remain the strategic lead and own the consumer insight, query research, commercial territory and overall client relationship. I’m looking for somebody who can become the technical / execution specialist alongside me, challenge my thinking where appropriate and make sure what we recommend is technically credible and implementable. There may be opportunities for ongoing work if the initial pilot progresses. You should also be comfortable working collaboratively and potentially joining occasional client conversations as the specialist if required. When responding, please answer these questions: 1. Please give me one specific example of a GEO / AEO project you have worked on. What did you actually change? 2. How did you establish whether the work had improved AI visibility? What did you measure? 3. If I gave you a product page and 30 priority consumer questions, what would your process be? 4. What is the relationship between technical SEO and GEO in your view? 5. Which AI platforms or tools do you currently use to monitor citations, mentions or visibility? 6. Have you worked with structured data / schema as part of GEO or AEO work? 7. What do you believe brands most commonly misunderstand about GEO? 8. Please share your day rate or indicative cost for an initial audit/pilot. I’m more interested in real examples and practical methodology than sales language. Thanks, Tina

Digital Lending Platform, DSCR Funnels & AI Search

House of Funding is a U.S. real estate lender seeking a team to build a mobile-first digital lending experience and generate qualified DSCR leads. Please price each part separately, including setup, ongoing management, software, and ad spend. Do not submit one combined price. 1. WEBSITE AND LEAD CAPTURE Build a premium site designed for phones first and working fully on tablets and desktops. Include loan-product and market pages, our Fast 50 program, broker information, funded-deal examples, company pages, and educational resources. Provide a CMS, technical SEO, analytics, and clear options to call, book, or submit a deal. Build guided intake using qualification rules and disclosures we approve. Connect it to our existing CRM and track the lead source through application and funding. 2. DSCR PAID-AD FUNNELS Build separate funnels for (a) rental purchases, (b) rental cash-out refinances, and (c) portfolio or repeat investors. Each needs its own ad message, mobile landing page, qualifying form, call and form tracking, CRM connection, follow-up, and staff handoff. Quote a broker funnel separately if recommended. Include Google Search campaign setup, keywords and exclusions, conversion tracking, testing, and a 90-day optimization plan. House of Funding pays ad platforms directly. Price each funnel, campaign setup, monthly management, and recommended ad spend separately. Report qualified leads, applications, funded loans, and cost per funded loan. 3. SEARCH AND AI VISIBILITY Propose approved DSCR content for traditional search and AI-generated search answers, including Google AI Overviews and AI Mode. Specify the pages, technical work, ongoing updates, and ways you will measure visibility and resulting leads where possible. Address eligible ad opportunities in AI search experiences. Price this separately from paid-ad management. Do not guarantee rankings, AI citations, or ad placement. 4. BORROWER AND BROKER EXPERIENCE Build secure accounts and a mobile-first borrower portal showing application progress, deal status, documents, messages, appointments, and next actions. Include a resumable application and secure uploads. Build a broker portal for submissions, referral tracking, deal status, documents, resources, and pipeline visibility. Include a limited staff view for essential deal tasks and conditions. 5. TOOLS AND LAUNCH Quote DSCR, LTV, LTC, ARV, payment, and scenario calculators with tested formulas and non-binding disclosures. Include an AI assistant restricted to company-approved information with human handoff. Add consent-aware email/SMS follow-up, security and integration testing, backups, launch support, training, and documentation.
