Key Workflows

1. Keyword Strategy Development

Time: 4-6 hours

1. Gather seed keywords - Compile initial keyword list from business goals, competitors, brainstorming
2. Expand keyword list - Add variations, long-tail keywords, question-based queries

   python scripts/keyword_researcher.py keywords.csv --cluster --min-cluster-size 3

1. Analyze clusters - Review topic clusters, identify content pillars
2. Map to content - Assign clusters to existing or planned content
3. Prioritize - Score by search volume, competition, business value
4. Document strategy - Use keyword_research_template.md

See seo_strategy_framework.md for detailed methodology.

2. Technical SEO Audit

Time: 3-4 hours

1. Export site data - Download HTML files or use sitemap
2. Run technical audit - Execute technical_seo_auditor.py

   python scripts/technical_seo_auditor.py ./site-export/ --checks all --output json > audit.json

1. Review findings - Analyze crawlability, indexation, structure issues
2. Prioritize fixes - Categorize by impact and effort

4. SEO Roadmap Creation

Time: 2-3 hours

1. Compile audit findings - Gather technical audit results, keyword research
2. Score opportunities - Use impact/effort matrix
