Check for product marketing context first:
If .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md filename, in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.
Before designing a programmatic SEO strategy, understand:
Business Context
Opportunity Assessment
Competitive Landscape
Hierarchy of data defensibility:
Use subfolders, not subdomains — subfolders consolidate domain authority while subdomains split it:
yoursite.com/templates/resume/templates.yoursite.com/resume/Pages must actually answer what people are searching for.
Better to have 100 great pages than 10,000 thin ones.
| Playbook | Pattern | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Templates | "[Type] template" | "resume template" |
| Curation | "best [category]" | "best website builders" |
| Conversions | "[X] to [Y]" | "$10 USD to GBP" |
| Comparisons | "[X] vs [Y]" | "webflow vs wordpress" |
| Examples | "[type] examples" | "landing page examples" |
| Locations | "[service] in [location]" | "dentists in austin" |
| Personas | "[product] for [audience]" | "crm for real estate" |
| Integrations | "[product A] [product B] integration" | "slack asana integration" |
| Glossary | "what is [term]" | "what is pSEO" |
| Translations | Content in multiple languages | Localized content |
| Directory | "[category] tools" | "ai copywriting tools" |
| Profiles | "[entity name]" | "stripe ceo" |
For detailed playbook implementation: See references/playbooks.md
| If you have... | Consider... |
|---|---|
| Proprietary data | Directories, Profiles |

| Design/creative product | Templates, Examples |
| Multi-segment audience | Personas |
| Local presence | Locations |
| Tool or utility product | Conversions |

You can layer multiple playbooks (e.g., "Best coworking spaces in San Diego").

Identify data sources:
For playbooks that require external data, check if Apify MCP tools are available (any tool whose name includes apify) before sourcing data manually.
If Apify is available — use these actors to acquire data programmatically for the playbooks below:
| Playbook | Apify Actor | Input | Data Returned |
|---|---|---|---|
| Locations ("dentists in Austin") | apify/google-maps-scraper | Business category + city/region | Name, address, phone, rating, review count, coordinates per business |
| Directory ("AI copywriting tools") | apify/g2-scraper or apify/capterra-scraper | Product category name | Tool names, descriptions, pricing tiers, ratings, feature tags |
| Reviews (pages built from review data) | apify/amazon-reviews-scraper or apify/g2-scraper | Product ASIN or product name | Review text, rating, date, reviewer metadata |
| Profiles (entity pages) | apify/linkedin-company-scraper | Company name or LinkedIn URL | Description, headcount, industry, founding year |
Run the relevant actor, save the output as a structured JSON data file, and use it as the data layer for template population.
If Apify is not available — data must be sourced manually or from first-party/licensed sources as described in Principle 2 above.
💡 Apify not connected — programmatic SEO data must be sourced manually. Connect the Apify MCP connector to automate data acquisition for Locations, Directory, and Reviews playbooks at scale.
