Client
TUYA Digital
Project Summary
MCRO built a custom, proprietary platform to automate SEO and digital-marketing features for TUYA Digital, developing a Bootstrap-based web application and delivering features in two-week sprints. The ongoing platform reduced the client's monthly spending by about 35% and the client continues to add features; MCRO maintained frequent communication through a team leader and regular Zoom meetings.
Key Challenges
- Avoid recurring costs (~$1,000/month per third-party tool) by building owned functionality
- Automate multiple SEO features (keyword tracking, difficulty research, on-page error identification)
- Structure and transfer SEO knowledge into developer-friendly documentation
Project Deliverables
- Custom proprietary SEO automation platform (web-based)
- Bootstrap-based front-end UI
- Structured SEO documentation for developers
- Incremental feature releases delivered in two-week sprints
Project Solution
MCRO developed a custom web-based SEO automation platform using Bootstrap. The engagement began with a detailed discovery phase to capture SEO requirements and produce developer-friendly documentation; development proceeded in two-week sprints. A small team (three developers and one team leader) implemented features from scratch rather than using templates, with the team leader acting as the primary day-to-day contact and regular biweekly Zoom demos.
Project Outcome
- Reduced monthly third-party tool spending by 35%
- Replaced several third-party features with the proprietary platform
- Expected to recover development costs within one year due to monthly savings
- Ongoing ability to add features and improve platform functionality
