I’m Vidya Garcha, a freelance internet researcher and lead generator with 15+ years of experience supporting global teams in the US, UK, Australia, and beyond. I specialize in LinkedIn research, web research, data mining, and building clean, usable databases for outreach, marketing, and business development—while also handling day-to-day virtual admin tasks with accuracy and speed. Alongside research and lead generation, I manage social media and support marketing activities such as LinkedIn job posting, ad posting, email marketing coordination, and WordPress/blog or e-commerce-related data uploading. I’m comfortable working with multiple CRM and online tools, can learn new systems quickly, and I’ve previously managed small teams of 3–5 virtual assistants to deliver high-quality results within deadlines.
