the bench is cleared, the keyword map is pinned, and the first draft is already on the anvil.

Fennel & Anvil offers three engagements to early-stage B2B software companies, each billed as a single fixed fee and each with a defined end. Strategy, articles, comparison pages, landing pages, and a closing report are written by the same two editors from the first call to the last.

04Inside a sprint

what is on the bench each week

Staffed by the same two editors throughout, so the writer who reads your documentation is the writer who drafts the sixth article.

Weeks 1–2 · Strategy

the keyword map

Queries are gathered from your docs, sales calls, and competitors, then clustered by intent and ranked by difficulty against your domain as it stands today.

Delivered: keyword map and editorial calendar.

Weeks 3–10 · Writing

six long-form articles

Each article serves one search intent, cites your own material where it can, and passes a line-by-line check against the studio style manual. A subject-matter review falls at week five.

Delivered: six articles, one revision round apiece.

Weeks 3–12 · Optimization

on-page work

Titles, headings, internal links, schema markup, and meta descriptions are set as each piece ships and entered directly in your CMS.

Delivered: live, linked pages.

Week 13 · Report

the closing report

Indexed URLs, impressions and clicks by page, ranking positions per target term, and a written reading of which clusters to feed next.

Delivered: the report and a next-sprint brief.
