(https://www.kivone.app/)I managed the delivery of Kivone, a unified platform for managing projects, tasks and teams, with Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, OKR tracking and real-time collaboration, from planning to launch.
About the project
Kivone is a project management and team collaboration platform for modern teams. It replaces scattered tools and spreadsheets with one workspace for everything from daily to-dos to complex, multi-team projects. The platform offers a 7-day free trial with no credit card required, so the product and website had to make signing up easy. As Project Manager, I coordinated the work from requirements to launch with [designers, developers, QA and content writers].
What I managed
Scope and roadmap: Defined the product scope with stakeholders and turned the feature list (task boards, timelines, goals, integrations) into a phased roadmap for 12 team members.
Feature delivery: Planned and tracked the core modules: Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, OKR tracking and team collaboration.
Sprint planning: Ran weekly sprints with planning, standups, reviews and retrospectives, and kept the backlog prioritized.
Cross-team coordination: Kept design, development and QA aligned so handoffs were clear and blockers were resolved quickly.
Website and onboarding: Coordinated the marketing site (How It Works, Features, Integrations, Pricing, About, FAQ) and the free-trial sign-up flow.
Quality and release: Managed testing, bug triage and feedback rounds, then supported the launch .
Stakeholder updates: Gave weekly status reports covering progress, risks and next steps.
Key features delivered
Kanban boards for visual task tracking
Gantt timelines for planning and dependencies
OKR tracking to link daily work to team goals
Real-time collaboration for distributed teams.

Project Manager: Contractor SEO and AI Search Visibility Platform
Client link
https://www.contractor-seo.com/
One-line summary
I managed the planning and delivery of Contractor-SEO.com (http://Contractor-SEO.com), a nationwide SEO, AEO and GEO service website that helps plumbers, HVAC companies, electricians and roofers get found on Google, ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity.
About the project
Contractor-SEO.com (http://Contractor-SEO.com) is a service business for U.S. trade and home-service contractors. Homeowners now ask AI tools as well as Google to find local contractors, so the site had to do two jobs. It had to explain a newer service (Answer Engine and Generative Engine Optimization) in plain language, and it had to turn visitors into audit requests and booked strategy calls. As Project Manager, I coordinated the work from first requirements to launch with [designers, developers, SEO specialists and content writers].
What I managed
Scope and planning: Turned the business goals (more audit requests, clear service positioning, nationwide coverage) into a site map, task list and delivery timeline for 10 team members.
Site structure: Planned the full page set: a homepage, 4 core service pages (Contractor SEO, Local SEO, AI Search Optimization, Google Business Profile), 8 industry pages (plumber, HVAC, electrician, roofer, remodeler, landscaper, mechanical and general contractor), state pages, case studies, pricing, blog, FAQ, testimonials and careers.
Lead generation: Coordinated the free AI Visibility Audit funnel, including the request form (trade, city, state, main goal), the free audit page and the strategy call booking.
SEO and AI search readiness: Worked with the team so the site was built on what it sells: schema markup, FAQ structured data, clear service descriptions, Google Business Profile signals and fast technical performance.
Content and design: Managed copy, design reviews and revisions for 3 rounds so the messaging stayed consistent across all pages.
QA and launch: Coordinated testing across devices and forms, fixed issues, and supported the go-live .
Reporting: Gave stakeholders bi-weekly updates on progress, risks and next steps.
Key features delivered
5-step process section: audit, technical and schema fixes, service and location pages, AI visibility, and reporting
Free AI Visibility Audit funnel with a multi-field lead form
Industry and state landing pages for local search
Pricing, FAQ and testimonial sections to build trust
