Survival Skills Vietnam SEO Project
Overview
Survival Skills Vietnam(SSVN) started as an educational business that provides first-aid courses. During COVID-19 period, they invested in an LMS to allow people to learn first aid for free at anywhere and anytime. As part of the GoodHub SEA tech volunteer, I worked in the SSVN project as a project manager.
Main Challenges
- Understanding of SEO fundamental concepts like keyword research, content optimisation and site structure.
- Integrating SEO with existing content strategies and aligning them with SSVN’s business goal.
- Coordinate with an international team with temmates from Singapore, London and USA; main difficulty in tasks scheduling and meeting arrangement due to timezone difference.
My Contributions
- I worked with two founders of GoodHub (Charles and Joanne), a SEO specialist (Shi Yun) and another NUS student (Van Binh) who is fluent in Vietnamnese on this SEO project for three months.
- My main responsibility was to assign tasks, set milestones, review deliverables and plan the next steps in the project.
- Together with Shi Yun, I researched, collated and presented SEO strategies to the team and SSVN founder.
