GoHighLevel (GHL) Technical Operations VA – Backend & Integrations Specialist

=== ABOUT US ===
Zango360 is a new digital agency operations business. We design and build our client websites and landing pages natively in GoHighLevel, but we are looking for a sharp backend technical specialist to handle system setup, domain wiring, and campaign logic using the GHL system.

=== POSITION OVERVIEW ===
We are seeking a reliable GHL Technical Specialist based in the Philippines to handle backend setup and CRM integration on a project-by-project basis.

*PLEASE NOTE:* You will NOT be required to design web pages or write content at this time. Your focus is strictly technical: taking completed site pages and connecting them to DNS, LC Phone/Email, calendars, CRM pipelines, interactive web chat bots, automated lead nurture sequences, and Google review request workflows (both SMS and Email ). Experience integrating GHL with third-party tools like Paige by Merchynt is a big plus. Proven reliability and speed on these initial project tasks will lead directly to an ongoing part-time role as our client volume expands.

=== KEY TECHNICAL TASKS (PER PROJECT) ===

• SUB-ACCOUNT SETUP: Create and configure new GHL sub-accounts, import agency snapshots, configure business settings (NAP info, timezone), and assign user roles/permissions.
• DOMAIN & DNS CONFIGURATION: Point client subdomains/domains via CNAME, A Records, MX, and TXT records; assign SSL certificates inside GHL.
• PHONE & EMAIL INFRASTRUCTURE: Set up LC Phone / Twilio sub-accounts, submit A2P 10DLC registrations, configure LC Email domain verification, and add SPF/DKIM/DMARC DNS records for deliverability.
• SITE & FORM WIRING: Connect completed web pages and forms to GHL calendars, custom fields, contact tags, and opportunity pipelines.
• AUTOMATION & WORKFLOWS: Build functional Advanced Workflows (e.g., instant auto-text replies, missed call text-backs, appointment reminders, and multi-step nurture sequences).
• WEB CHAT & AI BOT SETUP: Embed the GHL Chat Widget on the site to capture visitor contact info and train/prompt basic AI auto-responses for FAQs.
• REVIEWS & REPUTATION: Set up automated SMS Google review requests for new clients and bulk email review request workflows for past customer lists.
• LOCAL SEO & PAIGE INTEGRATION: Connect GHL sub-accounts with Paige by Merchynt (via Webhooks/Zapier) for Google Business Profile sync, local ranking heatmaps, and automated review reply workflows.
• SOCIAL PLANNER SETUP: Connect GBP, Facebook , and Instagram to the GHL Social Planner for multi-channel content scheduling.
• TESTING & QA: Perform end-to-end testing of form submissions, SMS triggers, bot replies, calendar links, and pipelines prior to client delivery.

=== REQUIREMENTS ===

• Deep hands-on experience in GoHighLevel sub-account setup and backend integrations.
• Must provide proof of past work (screenshots, video walkthroughs, or workflow maps showing GHL setups you have completed).
• THIRD-PARTY INTEGRATIONS: Experience connecting GoHighLevel to local SEO/GBP software (specifically Paige by Merchynt) is highly preferred. (If you haven't used Paige specifically, strong experience with GHL Webhooks/Zapier and Google Business Profile integrations is acceptable).
• Reliable computer, high-speed internet, and power backup.
• Strong written English and responsive communication during active tasks.
• Strong/clear spoken English is critical for calls and video conference purposes.
• Must be willing to work during hours of 9:00 AM - 7:00 PM CST (US) for live communication purposes.
