Case Outlines
SEO SEO Client Work doc
Step By Step:
...
In one tab, open the list of outlines with cases needing to be created. Use the link below that is sorted by milestone.
In another tab, open the SEO Client Work doc
In one more tab, click “New Case” at the top of FogBugz
In the tab with the outlines needing cases, click on the outline you will be making cases for
Check for any notes from the MC about changes to the cases to be created and make any adjustments as needed to which cases will be created or add notes to cases as you create them
Now, using Multi Copy Paste, you will copy 3 things:
Ctrl+1 - The client’s URL - e.g 106StTire.com
Ctrl+2 - SEO and the quarter with bars and spaces before and after - | SEO September - November 2020 |
Ctrl+3 - The case number of the outline
As you go from outline to outline creating cases, you will only replace a. and c. You will keep b. copied and use it for all the cases you create
Now we are ready to create the cases for the outline
Scroll down to the section labeled “Billable Hours for Case Creation”
You will skip creating the “Outline Analysis” case and start with the first one below
Copy the entirety of the case (with any sub-bullets included) with the regular copy - Ctrl+c or right-click and copy
Navigate to your new case tab
Outline Case Creation
Open the FogBugz filter “Digital Marketing: SEO Quarter Cmpl Chk”
Starting from the top, click the arrow beside an open outline to see the state of fulfillment to determine if it’s time for the next outline to be created.
Open the outline
Open another tab of Fogbugz and click create new case.
Edit the following fields in the outline case
Title - Copy and paste from the previous outline
Update month date range in title field - make sure this is correct
Update Milestone. Last week of the middle month
Assign to user
Add MC Name
Check Is Outline
Update Stage to Analysis
At this time Due Date will remain blank. We update this when we assign to the MC for approval.
Add Parent Case - this is the SEO Master Case
Add estimate - this is 15% of their quarterly hours rounded up. You can also find this information at the bottom of the previous outline.
Add their quarterly SEO hours in the SEO Hours field - this is a good time to check our master client doc to make sure these hours match up.
Add optimization description for an Outline Analysis (can be found in WIKI http://fogbugz.tcsgeeks.com/default.asp?W2006) and add the case estimate in parentheses. Or you can copy and paste this information from the previous outline.
Save - CONGRATS! You’ve created an outline!
Now, go back to the previous outline and place and edit that says either “All fulfillment completed. New outline in case #123456.” or “One fulfillment case left in case #123456. New outline in case #123456” and CLOSE case. The client should only ever have ONE outline case open at a time.
Update the color coding in our client doc.
Proceed to go through the filter to create outlines as needed.
Tips
I like having the filter. SEO Outlines to Write open the background as I create cases. That way I know that they are ending up in the right place.
It is also good to do one final audit when all outlines are created. By comparing your outlines to write filter to the client work doc.
