How to manage SEO outreach campaigns without losing track.

### The System
Irfan and his team use Google Sheets as the primary tool for tracking outreach campaigns, used in combination with Slack and Trello.
### Key Features of the System
Points-Based Commission Structure:
- Team members earn points (and higher commission) for earning backlinks with a higher Domain Rating (DR)
- This incentivizes quality over quantity in backlink acquisition
Multi-Team / Micro-Team Structure:
- Multiple micro-teams work on the same projects simultaneously
- Benefits include:
- Healthy internal competition
- Better ability to meet client goals and targets
- Redundancy if one team hits a wall
### Why This Matters
Outreach for quality whitehat backlinks is:
- Extremely time-consuming
- At times unpredictable
- Dependent on the responsiveness and decisions of third parties (journalists, editors, site owners)
Having a structured, incentivized system helps the team stay motivated and on-target across long-running campaigns.
