01
The One Thing This Website Must Do
Get a qualified business owner or hiring manager to submit a contact request.

Everything on the site — every page, every section, every CTA, every lead magnet — exists to move someone from "I'm curious about remote talent" to "I want to talk to Nearby."

Not educate the whole internet. Not win design awards. Not impress existing clients. One job: generate qualified inbound conversations. Every decision in this document is made against that single filter.

02
What Nearby Is (and Is Not)
We don’t place people. We run the hire after the hire.

That sentence drives everything. It is the brand in one line. Every piece of copy, every page, every CTA must connect back to the system, the management, and the performance — not just the talent.

Nearby ISNearby is NOT
A fully managed workforce solution. Payroll, compliance, performance oversight — all included. Nearby runs the hire before and after placement.A staffing agency. Not a recruitment platform. Not an offshore hiring company. Not done-for-you (clients direct the work — Nearby manages the person).
Never say thisSay this instead
Staffing agencyFully managed workforce solution
Offshore hiring companyGlobal talent operations
We find you talentWe run the hire — before and after placement
We help businesses growWe remove the friction behind global teams
High-quality talent[Show it. Cite the credential. Name the prior employer.]
Top-tier / world-class / best-in-class[Name the role, the country, the prior employer]
We’re different because...[State the mechanism. Show the proof. Skip the claim.]
We’re excited to...[Make the announcement. Cut the preamble.]
Trusted by [client logos]Our talent has previously worked at [prior employer logos]
If copy ever implies Nearby does the client’s actual work, it creates the wrong expectation in the sales call. The distinction is non-negotiable: clients direct the work. Nearby manages the person.
03
Positioning — The Master Sentence & Brand Slogans
"Nearby is a fully managed talent operational system that gives global teams the psychological presence of an in-house workforce."

The Four Brand Slogans

These are not taglines for footers. They are positioning compressed into a single sentence. Use them in body copy, carousel slides, video scripts, and page closers.

SloganWhen to use
Momentum within reach™General brand moments, launch content, closers
Hire one. Get an army.Explaining the fully managed model. Carousel-ready.
Pay like they’re over there. Control like they’re right here.The clearest summary of what Nearby delivers. Use it more than you think.
Right-here reliability. International reach.Executive-level messaging around scale and control

Typography Note for Design

The italic accent font (Monarcha) and brand purple color apply to verbs only — never adjectives, nouns, or full phrases. Body copy is always Inter.

✓ Correct✕ Wrong
"Hire one. Get an army." — verb gets italic/purple"Global talent" — talent is a noun, no treatment
"Give them work / [italic: Let the rest go]" — second line is a verb phrase"The smarter choice" — adjective, no treatment

When writing copy for design, mark intended italic/purple verbs like this: [italic: Let the rest go]

The One Differentiator Nobody Else Can Use

Nearby is the only company in this space that runs entirely on its own model. The only person in the US is the founder. Every function — operations, finance, marketing, customer success, design — is executed by the exact type of talent Nearby places for clients.

This is the centerpiece of the brand story. It appears on the homepage, /why-nearby/the-model, and every pitch deck. No competitor can copy it because it is a fact, not a claim.
04
Proof Points — Numbers Over Adjectives

Never say "fast hiring" or "high retention." Use the actual figures. Always. These are the only claims Nearby makes that don’t need further proof — the numbers are the proof.

Primary Proof Points (use in all copy)

96%
Client retention rate. Strongest trust signal Nearby has. Use it often.
6 days
Average time-to-hire. Not "fast." Six days.
$1.5M+
Annual payroll savings delivered to clients
300K+
Vetted LATAM professionals in the talent pool
150K+
Professional hours delivered per year
3–5 yrs
Average client tenure

Supporting Proof Points

ClaimHow to write it
No long-term contracts"No long-term contracts. Zero commitment risk."
No hidden fees"No hidden fees. What you see is what you pay."
Fully managed"Payroll, compliance, performance oversight. All included."
LATAM talent"Vetted to enterprise standards. US time zones. US numbers."

Numbers Math (for internal defensibility)

NumberMath behind it
96% retentionClient retention rate — confirmed figure from operations

300,000+HRD/Nearby talent pool pipeline — on current SBS site
150,000+75 seats × 40 hrs × 52 weeks
Never say "75 active seats" in external copy. Never say "fast" or "high retention" without the number. If you don’t have a number, you don’t have a claim.
05
Copywriting Instructions

These instructions govern every piece of content produced for Nearby — website copy, social posts, video scripts, email, ads. No exceptions.

The Three Voice Rules

RuleWhat it means in practice
DirectSay what you mean. No hedging. No qualifiers. No "a simpler way to say." Just state the thing.
ConfidentNearby doesn’t justify itself. It states. No apologetic tone. No needy framing. No language that positions Nearby as seeking to prove itself.
PragmaticResults over rhetoric. Real problems, real solutions, real numbers. Outcomes over adjectives.

The Four Audience Variants

Every piece of content must be written for one of these four audiences. Never write for a generic "business leader." If you can’t tag the audience, the post doesn’t exist yet.

TagWhoTheir painNearby’s messageTone
[EXEC]ExecutivesScaling globally without losing visibility or controlGlobal scale without sacrificing local controlAuthoritative, outcomes-focused, peer-level
[OPS]Operations ManagersManually managing remote workers. Fixing things that should run themselves. Chasing updates. Covering gaps. Redoing work.Nearby removes friction from every touchpoint in the offshore modelTactical, problem-specific, immediately recognizable to anyone managing remote teams
[HR]HR LeadersPlacing talent with no system to support performance post-hire. No clear accountability after onboarding.The support system your talent actually deservesProcess-oriented, accountability-focused
[FOUNDER]FoundersBuilding headcount that creates overhead instead of momentum. Managing remote workers when they should be running the company.Build momentum without building overheadDirect, no-BS, speaks to the person who feels every inefficiency personally

Banned Words — Delete on Sight

These words appear in competitor copy constantly. They trigger nothing in a reader and signal generic thinking. Never use them in any Nearby content.

Banned Formats

✕ Banned formatWhyWhat to do instead
"This isn’t just X. This is Y."Overused on every B2B LinkedIn feed. Soft, not confident.Wrong: "This isn’t just a new name. It’s a simpler way to say what we’ve always believed."
Right: "Superior Biz Solutions is now Nearby. Same model. Stronger name."
Soft passive CTAs"Stay close." "Follow along." "The best is ahead." — These are not CTAs."Book a 15-min call." · "[email protected]" · A specific date if teasing a launch.
Generic poll questionsTest: can this poll be asked by ANY HR tech company? If yes — it’s off-brand.Wrong: "What is the main reason companies redefine their brand?"
Right: "Your offshore hire is underperforming. Who catches it in your current setup?"

Format Instructions

FormatStructure
CarouselsSlides 1–5: name a specific, felt problem. Slide 6: name the system failure behind it. Slide 7: Nearby is the fix. Last slide: CTA.

Model: "Things get dropped. No one’s sure who owns what. Messages take too long. You follow up… again. That’s not bad talent. That’s a broken system. Nearby fixes the system."
Text postsOpen with a fact, a problem, or a direct statement. Never with "We’re excited to share" or "This month marks…"

Wrong: "This month marks the beginning of a new chapter. We’re excited to introduce Nearby…"
Right: "Superior Biz Solutions is now Nearby. Different name. Same model. 96% of our clients stayed last year. Not because of a contract. Because the system works."
Video scripts1. State what’s true or what changed · 2. Show the mechanism — what makes Nearby different from a standard staffing company · 3. Close with a single, clean brand line · 4. No inspirational filler.
Website copyLead with the problem or the positioning statement, never a generic hero claim. Every competitor says "global talent" — lead with what’s different: the system, the management, the retention. CTAs direct. They don’t beg.
PollsEvery poll question must: (1) be directly connected to a problem Nearby solves, (2) surface a felt operational experience — something a founder or ops manager dealt with this week, (3) pass the Nearby DNA test: could ONLY Nearby ask this.

Hashtag Rules

Maximum 3 per post. No exceptions.

ApprovedNever use
#Nearby · #GlobalTalent · #RemoteWork · #LatAmTalent · #ManagedTalent · #Momentumwithinreach#BusinessEvolution · #GrowthMindset · #NewChapter · #ComingSoon · #Leadership · Any hashtag that could belong to any other company

Pre-Publish Checklist

Confirm all 9 before any piece of content is finalised.

  • Audience tagged — Written for [EXEC], [OPS], [HR], or [FOUNDER]. Not "business leaders."
  • Nearby DNA test — Could only Nearby publish this. Not any other HR tech company.
  • No banned words — Scanned and cleared.
  • No banned formats — No "This isn’t just X." No soft CTAs. No generic polls.
  • Real problem named — A specific person can read this and say "that’s exactly my situation."
  • Claims are earned — Metrics used, not adjectives. Proof over promises.
  • CTA is specific — An action, a date, or a link. Not a sentiment.
  • Brand slogan used — At least one of the four slogans is naturally integrated.
  • Hashtags capped at 3 — Clean, brand-relevant only.
The one rule that covers everything: If a person reading your content can’t identify their own problem within the first three lines — rewrite it. Nearby exists to solve specific, operational, felt problems. The content has to prove that.
06
Trust Signal — Talent Credential Bar
No client logos on the site. Competitors may reach out to existing clients. Many clients prefer their use of outsourced help to remain private.
Instead: A talent credential bar showing prior employers of Nearby’s talent pool.

Copy: "Our talent has previously worked at:" — logos follow.
Source: logos already appearing on current superiorbizsolutions.com site (Apple, Microsoft, others).

Never: "Trusted by," "Clients include," or any language implying these companies are customers.
Always: "previously worked at" — this is accurate and legally clean.
07
Conversion Model — Three Entry Points
1. Role page  /hire/[cat]/[role]  — Highest intent (buyer knows the role)
   → Reads content → Sees talent cards → "Build Your [Role] Seat" → /contact → GHL

2. Homepage  /  — Medium intent (buyer has a staffing problem)
   → Understands the model → Clicks category → follows role page path
   → OR hits nav "Get Started" → /contact → GHL

3. Blog  /blog/[post]  — Low intent (buyer researching)
   → Reads post → Inline CTA → Downloads lead magnet
   → 5-email GHL nurture sequence → Eventually /contact → GHL
08
CTA Hierarchy

One primary CTA and one secondary per page. Never three. Never zero.

PagePrimary CTASecondary CTA
Homepage /"Build Your Team →""See How It Works ↓"
Role page"Build Your [Role] Seat →""Browse all profiles →" (Phase 2)
Category page"Hire [Category] Talent →""See all roles →"
/how-it-works"Get Started →"
Blog postInline topic-relevant CTAFooter email capture
/why-nearby pages"Get Started →""Read client stories →"
/referral"Send My Referral →"
Never use as CTA copy: "Submit," "Learn More," "Click Here," "Get Started" (generic), "Sign Up." Every CTA communicates what the visitor gets — not what they do.
09
Contact Form Spec

Located at /contact. No nav distractions. Minimum friction.

  1. First name *
  2. Company name *
  3. Email *
  4. What role are you looking to fill? (dropdown — 7 categories) *
  5. How many seats? (1 / 2–5 / 6–10 / 10+) *
  6. Tell us more (text field, optional)
No phone number required. No budget field. No "how did you hear about us" field. Track source via UTM parameters instead. Every extra field reduces conversion. Submit routes to GHL. Follow-up within 1 business day.

Activates on full launch day — not April 20 soft launch.

Why this is the first thing on every page: it activates existing clients and contacts as a distribution channel the moment they arrive. Companies that offer referral bonuses signal confidence, not desperation.

What Belongs to Each Brand

Content / AssetBrandNotes
Talent TuesdayNearbyNearby’s own content series. Not HRD. Not a cross-post. Nearby publishes talent profiles directly on the Nearby channel.
The podcast (Hired Hub)HRD onlyThe podcast belongs to Hired Remoteli. Nearby does not cross-post it, repurpose it, or reference it in Nearby content. They are separate brands.
Talent pool (300K+ professionals)HRD supplies → Nearby placesThe 300K+ pool is a Nearby proof point because HRD supplies the pipeline. This is a structural advantage Nearby can cite in copy — without disclosing the HRD relationship publicly.
LinkedIn follower countBoth brands, combined285K+ is the combined audience. The moat is real regardless of which brand holds which followers.

Nearby’s Social Plays

PlayHow it works
Talent TuesdayNearby publishes weekly talent profiles on the Nearby LinkedIn channel. Anonymous profiles — role, skills summary, country. CTA: "Build your seat → nearby.team/hire"
LinkedIn articlesLong-form B2B content targeting remote hiring queries. Indexed by Google, builds domain authority for nearby.team.
Solomon personal postsRebrand story, company-as-proof narrative, operational insights. Posted on Solomon’s personal LinkedIn — separate from both brand channels.
What NOT to do:
— Do not add Nearby CTAs or links to HRD/Hired Hub podcast content
— Do not repurpose podcast episodes as Nearby LinkedIn articles
— Do not reference the podcast anywhere on nearby.team
— Do not publicly disclose that HRD supplies the talent pipeline
