Step 3: Discovery & Situation Analysis
Collect: industry/niche, geography, business model, revenue driver, differentiator.
Assess: indexed pages, monthly organic, top pages, technical issues, backlinks.
Keywords: core terms, informational, branded, competitor-intent.
Step 4: Competitive Analysis
For top 3-5 competitors: estimated traffic, domain authority, content strategy, top pages, keyword gaps, content gaps, technical setup, E-E-A-T signals, backlinks.
Step 5: Site Architecture
Load industry template from assets/: saas.md, local-service.md, ecommerce.md, publisher.md, agency.md, generic.md.
Principles: max 3 clicks from homepage, topical clustering, URL hierarchy reflects content, no orphans, flat > deep.
Step 6: Content Strategy
- Tier 1 (Commercial): Service/product pages, pricing, comparison/vs, "best [category]"
- Tier 2 (Mid-funnel): "How to choose" guides, case studies, industry landing pages
- Tier 3 (Informational): "What is X" posts, ultimate guides, trends, original research
Step 7: Technical Foundation
- Day 1: GSC, GA4, sitemap, robots.txt, HTTPS, mobile, CWV passing
- Month 1: Canonicals, schema, OG tags, redirects, compressed images, internal links
- Quarter 1: Rich results, hreflang (if needed), image/video sitemaps, breadcrumbs
Step 8: Quick Wins vs Long Game
- 30 days: Fix noindex, improve titles on high-impression/low-CTR pages, fetchpriority on hero images, fix broken links, add schema, update meta descriptions on top 10 pages
- 2-4 months: Content depth expansion, pillar pages, CWV optimization, internal linking restructure, 5-10 backlinks/month
- 6-12+ months: Domain authority, content clusters, E-E-A-T, programmatic SEO, thought leadership, content refresh
Step 9: 90-Day Implementation Roadmap
- Days 1-14: Foundation (GSC, GA4, critical technical fixes, top 3-5 commercial pages, schema)
- Days 15-45: Content (2-4 pillar pieces, 4-6 blog posts, internal linking, sitemap)
- Days 46-90: Acceleration (8-12 more pieces, link building, optimize from GSC data)
Output Deliverables
- SEO-STRATEGY.md — Strategic overview
- SITE-STRUCTURE.md — URL hierarchy with keywords
- CONTENT-CALENDAR.md — 90-day detail + 12-month overview
- COMPETITOR-ANALYSIS.md — Per competitor assessment
- IMPLEMENTATION-ROADMAP.md — Phased tasks with owners and KPIs
Part 2: Programmatic SEO
See references/programmatic-seo.md for full details: data source assessment, template quality, uniqueness requirements, URL patterns, quality gates, abuse policy, internal linking automation.
Key thresholds (always enforce):
- Unique content <30% = HARD STOP
- Word count <150 = do not publish
- Pages without approval 500+ = HARD STOP
- Progressive rollout: batches of 50-100, monitor 2-4 weeks before expanding
- Never 500+ pages simultaneously
When NOT to use: <5-7 unique data points, no keyword demand, no local presence, YMYL without expert review, DR <20, can't auto-update data.
Part 3: Competitor Comparison Pages
See references/competitor-pages.md for page types, angle frameworks, layout, schema, ethics/legal.
Key rules:
- Always verify competitor data from their site (not memory)
- "[competitor] alternative" > "[brand] vs [competitor]" for keyword targeting
- Required: affiliation disclosure, methodology, date, pricing disclaimer
- Update quarterly; major competitor feature launch = update within 2 weeks
Output
- COMPARISON-PAGE.md (meta tags, full content, comparison table, FAQ)
- comparison-schema.json (JSON-LD)
- KEYWORD-STRATEGY.md
