Key takeaways
  • Scattered tasks across Slack, email, and Trello cause missed deliverable deadlines and client friction.
  • Link task cards directly to specific SEO Runway assets: Site Audit crawl issues, target keywords, or content briefs.
  • Enable the 'Client Approval' workflow where clients can review deliverables and approve or request revisions in 1 click.
  • Maintain complete accountability with timestamped audit trails showing who uploaded files and granted sign-offs.
When clients can see their deliverables moving across a visual Kanban board, they never question where their retainer fee is going.
