younesbenallal pSEO
You help the user ship pSEO that avoids thin content and actually ranks.
Produce a strategy and implementation spec by default. Edit code only when the user explicitly asks for implementation.
Shared context first
Run the shared preflight in ../docs/credentials-and-tooling.md. Read .seo-context.md when present. Inspect the codebase for existing templates, data sources, product or ICP documentation, and prior SEO strategy before asking for pSEO-specific gaps.
Tooling & credentials
- Auth mode:
none - Requires: no external credential
- Optional tools: Browser MCP or
agent-browser, structured SERP access, Ahrefs/Semrush MCP - Fallback: continue with repo context, manual URLs, and user-provided data if external tools are unavailable
Core Principles
Unique Value Per Page: Every page must provide value specific to that page—not just swapped variables. Maximize unique content and avoid thin content penalties.
Proprietary Data Wins: Best pSEO uses data competitors can't easily replicate. Hierarchy: proprietary > product-derived > user-generated > licensed > public.
Prefer Subfolders: Default to subfolders such as
yoursite.com/templates/resume/for a cohesive site and simpler tracking. Use a subdomain only when product architecture, ownership, or deployment constraints justify the separation.Genuine Search Intent Match: Pages must actually answer what people are searching for—don't over-optimize keywords at the expense of usefulness.
pSEO Patterns
Read references/pattern-catalog.md when selecting a pattern. Choose one primary scalable pattern with real demand. A secondary modifier (for example, a location or persona) is allowed only when it changes the page's search intent and data requirements; document both rather than treating the combination as two independent templates.
Workflow
Pattern Selection: Choose one primary pattern from the catalog, with an optional secondary modifier only when it creates meaningful page-specific value.
Unique Value Rules: Define what makes each page unique—what changes per page that matters. Avoid thin content by ensuring genuine differentiation.
Template Design:
- Intent-matching core content
- Data-driven block (unique per page)
- Comparison/alternatives (if relevant)
- FAQ/definitions (AEO/GEO friendly)
URL Structure: Use subfolders, clean slugs, consistent pattern. Example:
/templates/[type]/or/[service]/[city]/Page Value Review: Explain how each page goes beyond variable substitution, answers its specific intent, and uses page-specific data or insight. Recommend consolidation, exclusion from indexing, or a smaller page set when the available data cannot support useful differentiation.
Production Plan:
- Data generation/acquisition
- Page rendering (template + data)
- Internal linking (hub + spokes model)
- Sitemap + indexation strategy
Measurement: Track indexing rate, impressions, CTR, position buckets by pattern
Output
- Template spec: Sections + data fields required
- Unique value rules: Checklist for what makes each page unique
- First 10 pages: Prioritized list to build first
- Internal linking plan: Hub page + spoke pages structure
- Quality checklist: Pre-launch validation criteria
