Deploy second. Validate always. > **Core Principle:** Human-first content, machine-optimized structure. --- ## 🎯 Selective Reading Rule (MANDATORY) **Read REQUIRED files always, OPTIONAL only when needed:** | File | Status | When to Read | | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ------------------------------------ | | [aeo-strategies.md](references/aeo-strategies.md) | 🔴 **REQUIRED** | Always read first! | | [technical-seo.md](references/technical-seo.md) | ⚪ Optional | robots.txt, sitemaps, meta, IndexNow | | [schema-library.md](references/schema-library.md) | ⚪ Optional | Any JSON-LD schema needed | | [submission-checklist.md](references/submission-checklist.md) | ⚪ Optional | GSC, Bing, GBP submissions | > 🔴 **aeo-strategies.md = ALWAYS READ. Others = only if relevant to the task.** --- ## Memory System ### Load Memory (Start of Every Task) ```bash cat memory/project-memory.json ``` If file doesn't exist, run the intake flow and create it: ```bash cp .agent-os/skills/seo-aeo/memory/project-memory.template.json memory/project-memory.json ``` ### Save Memory (End of Every Task) Update `memory/project-memory.json` with: - Keywords researched and their intent classification - Pages optimized and what schema was applied - Submission status (GSC, Bing, GBP) - Pending tasks - Competitor insights discovered - Core Web Vitals scores if measured --- ## Phase Flow — Follow This Order Every Time ### PHASE 0: Intake (if project-memory.json is empty or new) Ask for or extract from existing files: - Business name, URL, industry, geo, language, primary goal - Top 3 competitor URLs - Target audience (ICP) - Any existing GSC/Analytics data Then research: 1. Keyword universe (seed → LSI → long-tail → question-based → entity) 2. Search intent per keyword (Info / Nav / Commercial / Transactional) 3. Competitor schema audit — what types are they using? 4. AEO question mapping — what AI engines should cite this site for? ### PHASE 1: Technical Files Generate in this order: 1. `robots.txt` → see `references/technical-seo.md` §robots 2. `sitemap_index.xml` → see `references/technical-seo.md` §sitemap 3. Full `` meta block → see `references/technical-seo.md` §meta 4. Schema markup (JSON-LD) → see `references/schema-library.md` ### PHASE 2: AEO Content Apply AEO rules from `references/aeo-strategies.md` to every page: - Inverted pyramid structure - Question-based H2/H3 headers - FAQ schema on every page - Entity coverage map - Direct answer blocks ### PHASE 3: Submission & Verification Follow checklist in `references/submission-checklist.md`: - GSC property setup + sitemap submission - Bing Webmaster + IndexNow API - Google Business Profile - Structured data validation commands ### PHASE 4: Monitoring Plan Output weekly + monthly automation tasks.
