🏢 The Client

Aloa is a startup that helps companies outsource software development. As their first in-house marketing team member, I helped build out their blog engine, scale the SEO operation, and reduce dependence on leadership for day-to-day content.

🚧 The Challenge

Aloa’s leadership wanted to scale their SEO footprint, but they were stuck in the weeds.

Their small team was starting to scale, but there were no briefs and no clear system for managing freelancers. Writers turned over quickly, and blog quality was inconsistent.

To grow sustainably, they needed a repeatable way to plan, assign, and manage content—without requiring constant input from the founders.

🔧 What I did

SEO Content System

  • Created 10+ reusable SEO briefs aligned with keyword opportunities
  • Managed and iterated on a Google Sheet-based pipeline to move posts from idea → brief → draft → published
  • Standardized metadata, formatting, and internal linking practices

Contractor Hiring & Training

  • Recruited and trained 10 freelancers: writers, editors, and designers
  • Built SOPs and Loom trainings to onboard contractors asynchronously
  • Delegated editing and uploads to reduce leadership bottlenecks

Internal Ops & Enablement

  • Wrote SOPs for every part of the pipeline: briefs, uploads, editing, optimization
  • Trained internal teammates to run the process without me
  • Handed off systems fully before transitioning out of the role

*Recreated for confidentiality

✅ Results

Traffic Growth

Scaled blog traffic from 10K to 50K+ monthly organic visitors by publishing consistently and targeting high-intent keywords.

Authority & SEO Performance

Raised the site’s Domain Rating by over 20 points, leading to stronger keyword rankings and increased inbound visibility.

Contractor Management

Built and managed a team of 10+ contractors across content and design. Reduced the need for hands-on editing by standardizing processes and expectations.

Operational Independence

Freed the in-house team from day-to-day content ops. By the time I left, they were running the system fully on their own—with higher quality and lower effort.
