Description

Our company specializes in SEO (search engine optimization) and usability improvement. We provide SEO consultancy services and develop an app discovery platform, “Appliv”.

Our corporate mission is to bring forth novel ideas that create a lasting social impact, and we fulfill this by creating long-term web services that are usable by a wide range of people. With this in mind, we released Appliv in 2012. The website currently has around 6 million users, and our Appliv Smartphone App released in March this year now has over 1 million downloads.

This year in June, we opened a branch office in the Philippines, and in October, we released our English version of the Appliv website. In the future, we intend to open the website to more countries and languages.

Work content: checking and editing Philippine writers’ English
You will be reviewing and editing the quality of the contents created by writers from the Philippines. The target audience for the articles are countries such as the USA and the UK, where English is natively spoken. For many writers from the Philippines, English is a second language, and there are often mistakes in the grammar or expressions used. Your job is to edit and correct the grammar and style in their articles. (40-50 articles per day.)

If you pass our internal test, it is possible that you will also be responsible for article inspection and assisting in setting up our English site (specifically category settings).
