Developer-tool growth, without the dev-rel theater.

Kinetic builds infrastructure for ML teams. Their growth was stuck at the engineer-to-engineer level, and their site read like a feature list. We rebuilt their content engine and information architecture around the actual problem their users were trying to solve.

Kinetic. Run faster.

The brief

Great product, invisible to its own audience.

Kinetic's users were finding them by accident — Hacker News, conference talks, word-of-mouth. The marketing site read like a product spec sheet, and the docs ranked higher in Google than the homepage. We were brought in to make Kinetic discoverable, position the product against incumbents without trash-talking them, and build a content engine that engineers wouldn't hate reading.

Engineers smell marketing from a mile away. We'd rather have nothing than something that smells.
SITE REBUILD — DOCS-FIRST IA

What we did

IA rebuild, technical content sprint, and an honest comparison page.

  • Information architecture redesigned around use-cases, not features. Every nav item answers a user job.
  • A 26-article technical content sprint — case studies, benchmarks, deep-dives — written by engineers who actually use the platform.
  • A comparison page with competitors that engineers respected because it was honest about trade-offs.
  • A docs-to-marketing-site routing layer so search traffic landing on docs got contextual prompts to the right product page.
  • A technical SEO foundation: Core Web Vitals, schema, internal-linking discipline, all hosted on Vercel.
CONTENT — BENCHMARK SERIES
On benchmarks.
