Project Walkthrough & Timeline
- SEO Content Strategy Sprint
- Spear Growth team did a lot of research on the client industry and crawled through the client and competitor websites.
- Spear Growth then created a report to provide an organic visibility overview of the client websites and their chosen competitors’ websites.
- Throughout the sprint, we shared 2 keywords per week which included the SEO brief, inspiration pages for writers, metadata recommendations for SEO, FAQs, and secondary keywords.
- Total keywords: 24 keywords (12 weeks of sprint execution)
- Total sprint time: 18 weeks (including supplementary weeks for research and post-implementation support)
- Backlinking Sprint
- Spear Growth did cold outreach to relevant websites to source backlinks and improve EngageRocket’s overall domain authority with targeted anchor texts.
- Apart from backlinks, we were also able to get a few guest posts, a podcast appearance, a LinkedIn Live, and a few replies to backlinking requests from top B2B writers for EngageRocket.
People: who from Spear Growth worked on the project?
- Sourajit Mukherjee – Head of Operations & SEO Manager (during the project)
- Navin Israni – Senior SEO Strategist (primary strategist and POC)
- Harleen Kaur – SEO Executive (supporting strategist / ad-hoc)

Communication: how did we manage efficient communication with EngageRocket?
Communication channels
Primarily, we used Slack (async) to communicate with the client for most of the project. Toward the end of the sprint, EngageRocket moved away from Slack to Microsoft Teams as a company-wide decision. As Spear Growth doesn’t work on Teams, we moved the communication to email for those last few weeks.
Communication cadence
- Ad-hoc calls during the research period (first 3 weeks), post-implementation period (last 3 weeks), and otherwise as required to help the client along on significant matters (if they can’t be addressed async).
- Fixed-time sprint cadence calls – 12 weeks implementation period
