00:30

Speaker A

So, these two components together fully automated save you thousands of hours of time. It saves you from hiring a team. You can do this yourself, and this works for any niche, any business. This is truly awesome. I'm going to show you the whole entire workflow right now.

00:44

Speaker A

but I mean look at this explosion of growth. Pretty pretty rapid growth, pretty fast. So, this is what we're seeing with this overall strategy that I'm going to talk about, the workflow I'm going to give you. This one has over

00:55

Speaker A

So, here are some examples of some of the businesses and websites we are doing this with right now. And you can see this is a smaller one. They're only getting like 1,600 organic traffic, but I mean look at this explosion of growth. Pretty, pretty rapid growth, pretty fast.

01:11

Speaker A

of this strategy, a good side effect of this is the increase in AI citations. So, we're seeing these websites and businesses get noted more in AI overviews, in AI citations by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and all the AIs which is taking most of the

01:33

Speaker A

So, this is what we're seeing with this overall strategy that I'm going to talk about, the workflow I'm going to give you. This one has over 6,000 organic traffic. Again, we're seeing the same type of growth here.

01:38

Speaker A

And you're going to see and continue to see this type of growth. So, what are we using for this workflow? So, this workflow we're going to be using three apps. Depending on what you guys have, you can use Claude for this,

01:52

Speaker A

Uh, and then finally, here's another one about 1,300 in traffic. And like this is probably the most explosive growth. And also, as a benefit of this strategy, a good side effect of this is the increase in AI citations.

02:04

Speaker A

same thing applies to Codex. You do the exact same things. Uh and then we're going to connect everything to our social media scheduler which is Blotato and then also our SEO tool which is Arvil. Fantastic workflow.

02:19

Speaker A

So, we're seeing these websites and businesses get noted more in AI overviews, in AI citations by ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, and all the AIs which are taking most of the traffic now. So, the more you can get seen in these AIs, the better.

02:28

Speaker A

the results and the tools needed. Uh now we're going to talk about the actual strategy and then I'm going to how to build the uh SEO automation and then the bonus attach it to social media. So how what does this actually do?

02:43

Speaker A

And you're going to see and continue to see this type of growth. So, what are we using for this workflow? So, this workflow we're going to be using three apps. Depending on what you guys have, you can use Claude for this,

03:00

Speaker A

want to target those bottom of the funnel keywords. So you have your keywords here.

03:06

Speaker A

Claude Code. Or if you have ChatGPT and you want to use Codex. If you have both, these are through the paid plan. Um, so you can use either one. I'm going to talk about just Claude but the exact

03:18

Speaker A

money pages, our content. So for instance, if you know, like uh a top of the funnel would be like HVAC technician or HVAC work or AC repair, right? That's more top of the funnel. Um but the bottom of the funnel would be I

03:34

Speaker A

same thing applies to Codex. You do the exact same things. Uh, and then we're going to connect everything to our social media scheduler which is Blotato and then also our SEO tool which is Arvil. Fantastic workflow.

03:53

Speaker A

longer search terms that we want to focus with our content. And then what we want to do is we want to create our content around those keywords. So, we're going to have our niche and then we're going to have our content pillars. It's

04:07

Speaker A

Uh, so how actually does this work? Well, so we're going to take this prompt uh that I'm going to give you guys in just a minute but we're going to break down exactly how this works. We talked about

04:23

Speaker A

the those pillars, but we're focusing on the bottom of the funnel keywords, bottom of the funnel search prompts, and we're doing our content based on that.

04:32

Speaker A

the results and the tools needed. Uh, now we're going to talk about the actual strategy and then I'm going to show you how to build the uh SEO automation and then the bonus attach it to social media. So how, what does this actually do?

04:44

Speaker A

You want to duplicate those and do, you know, if you have Miami and then you serve Naples, you want to do one for each.

04:49

Speaker A

So basically the way that people are showing up mostly now with traffic in this new methodology is A, they are targeting keywords, of course, that's always the same. You know, you're targeting the main keywords in your niche but you

05:05

Speaker A

pages. So, a customer is doing their search and if you're setting up this correctly, they're either A, going to find one of the blog articles, B, going to find your money page, and bounce to either or depending on their

05:19

Speaker A

want to target those bottom of the funnel keywords. So you have your keywords here.

05:37

Speaker A

content because it's already optimized for SEO. You already know the research is done. So, then you're going to your social media content's going to work the same way. It's going to focus on these pillars, it's to rotate through the

05:48

Speaker A

Uh, there's top of the funnel and then there's bottom of the funnel. Top of the funnel is more broad, bottom of the funnel is the more specific high value keyword searches. So this is what we want to target with all of our

05:55

Speaker A

So, this works together as an all-inclusive all-comprehensive ecosystem. So, how do you actually do this? So, we're going to do this a couple I'm going to show you two ways to do this. I'm going to show you a full

06:07

Speaker A

money pages, our content. So for instance, if you know, like uh a top of the funnel would be like HVAC technician or HVAC work or AC repair, right? That's more top of the funnel. Um, but the bottom of the funnel would be I

06:19

Speaker A

so to make it easy as possible. So, literally take a screenshot of this. You just literally copy this into Claude or Codex to create this skill. You want to create this as a skill uh in Claude or Codex and save it. So, it's pretty easy.

06:37

Speaker A

need an emergency uh HVAC repair company that can come within the hour or emergency HVAC repair uh that's not uh very expensive or something like that. So we're talking about like low uh bottom of the funnel, longer prompts,

06:48

Speaker A

So, this is literally the skill uh that it's going to pull the information from. Uh each time it runs this, it's going to run your whole automation on your all your SEO automation, your content pipeline. So, what this does, just so you know, once

07:03

Speaker A

longer search terms that we want to focus with our content. And then what we want to do is we want to create our content around those keywords. So, we're going to have our niche and then we're going to have our content pillars. It's

07:14

Speaker A

basically ask about your business, right? Your website URL, your industry, your niche. Then it's going to do a competitive and opportunity research.

07:22

Speaker A

going to focus on different areas of our business. So, if we do HVAC, maybe this one's AC repair, you know, maybe this one's duct cleaning, uh, you know, maybe this one is commercial. And then we're basically doing our content focusing on

07:33

Speaker A

comes up with your blog title and keyword generation plan. Uh it comes up with your content generation pipeline to create all of your content. So, basically it'll base then give you a list of titles and keywords to focus on,

07:48

Speaker A

those pillars, but we're focusing on the bottom of the funnel keywords, bottom of the funnel search prompts, and we're doing our content based on that.

08:02

Speaker A

It did a competitor analysis for this content. So, you can go and take this and create your own articles or you can do it in Arvo via their API, which is 100% automated, or you can do it manually in Arvo. So, Arvo has a couple

08:15

Speaker A

And then we're also doing our service pages, so maybe this one's on AC repair, right? Um, ideally, you want to do your service pages for all, for not only AC repair, but for all the local areas.

08:29

Speaker A

give Claude the API key. So, then it will basically send it to Arvo to create the articles automatically and then post it automatically to your website. 100% automated. Now, this is a higher tier plan if you want to use their API. If

08:43

Speaker A

You want to duplicate those and do, you know, if you have Miami and then you serve Naples, you want to do one for each.

08:50

Speaker A

You can still automate it. You can create a feed and it'll pull all of that information. It'll pull the keywords and titles and it'll just cycle through those. Or you can do a one-off where I put the keyword in here and create the

09:02

Speaker A

But then what you're doing inside those service pages is you're connecting those, you're linking back to your actual high intent blog articles. And then inside your blog articles, of course, you're linking back to the money pages, to the service

09:15

Speaker A

set up a keyword feed, I can basically have it generate those keywords or you can have it generate from a list, whatever you want to do it. Or again, you can do it manually. But, once you have it, you can then configure it. This

09:27

Speaker A

pages. So, a customer is doing their search and if you're setting this up correctly, they're either A, going to find one of the blog articles, B, going to find your money page, and bounce to either or depending on their

09:32

Speaker A

So, it's not the biggest thing with ranking and improving traffic right now with AI and all the AI content out there is not creating just slop AI. You have to You have to add value. You have to integrate

09:47

Speaker A

needs and hopefully book a consultation and book. And then what we are doing to really tie this together, since you're creating all of this high value content, then you can basically take that content and create social media posts from that

09:53

Speaker A

So, you can basically go in here, add your website as a knowledge base. You can format it however you want. You can give it a call to action with your link to your book now, buy now, whatever you

10:02

Speaker A

content because it's already optimized for SEO. You already know the research is done. So, then your social media content's going to work the same way. It's going to focus on these pillars, it's to rotate through the

10:14

Speaker A

it's going to automatically link that content to your other pages, to your money pages. Um so, that's where this becomes really really valuable in terms of being able to do that. Externally like it It'll externally link trusted sources. You can add your own images or

10:28

Speaker A

pillars, and then hopefully they're going to bounce from the social media content to either your blog pages or your service pages when they find you.

10:42

Speaker A

description, H2s, H3s, alt text. This is the structure that's missing. A lot of people are creating content using AI, it has no structure. So, then you either have to A, go behind the scenes and create that structure, or B, people are

10:55

Speaker A

So, this works together as an all-inclusive all-comprehensive ecosystem. So, how do you actually do this? So, we're going to do this a couple I'm going to show you two ways to do this. I'm going to show you a full

11:01

Speaker A

Um but basically this will fully automate and automatically post for you if you're using the API, or you can set it up uh a little bit more manually depending on what you want to do. Uh so, that's that's the first part of this.

11:15

Speaker A

automated 100% way to do this, and then I'm going to show you a less automated way depending on your budget and what you want to do. Um, so, here is the prompt, and you can This is simplified,

11:29

Speaker A

of this is basically the social media content. So, then what this does is you're creating this amazing content using Claude, using all the research it's doing, right? And this is your RSS feed. So this is your blog RSS feed with

11:45

Speaker A

so to make it as easy as possible. So, literally take a screenshot of this. You just literally copy this into Claude or Codex to create this skill. You want to create this as a skill uh in Claude or Codex and save it. So, it's pretty easy.

12:04

Speaker A

social media content. So it'll create the content, and then you're sending it over to Blotato to publish the information. So publish this through Blotato. So Blotato is the social media scheduling tool that I use.

12:19

Speaker A

It's pretty self-explanatory once you do that, and then if you have it saved as a skill, then you can basically just do it, save it to as whatever you want. I have it saved as SEO Content Autopilot.

12:31

Speaker A

can just give Claude the API, and it'll do it that way. Both ways are really easy to do. But if you do it via the MCP, you would just go in here, hit customize, and then you would just do connectors,

12:44

Speaker A

So, this is literally the skill uh that it's going to pull the information from. Uh, each time it runs this, it's going to run your whole automation on your all your SEO automation, your content pipeline. So, what this does, just so you know, once

12:54

Speaker A

So very, very easy to do it that way. Or again, even easier, you can just give Claude the API key, and it'll do it for you. But basically, what this does is it sends that information to Blotato, and you then you connect

13:07

Speaker A

you copy and paste this, then it's going to start setting this up for you. I already have it set up, so I'm not going to run through it. Again, it's very simple. Once you copy and paste this, it's going to

13:18

Speaker A

So you can create the images on your side through Claude or Codex, or you can use one of these templates in here to create the images that go along with your post, which is really cool. I've used the whiteboard infographic a lot.

13:32

Speaker A

basically ask about your business, right? Your website URL, your industry, your niche. Then it's going to do a competitive and opportunity research.

13:46

Speaker A

Blotato to schedule. So you can kind of go in here. Here these are all created through this workflow, all of these posts. The posts, the captions, the images uh I had it all create created through this workflow. And then it's fully

13:59

Speaker A

It's going to go out and research all of your competition. If you have a local business, they'll research all of your local competition. It'll find out gaps in the market, what they're doing well, what they're not doing well, and then it

14:13

Speaker A

many of those slots as you want and just do next available slot, or you can just hey, schedule this for 11:00 a.m. or whatever. I usually do this on a weekly basic on a like a week time frame. So I

14:23

Speaker A

comes up with your blog title and keyword generation plan. Uh, it comes up with your content generation pipeline to create all of your content. So, basically it'll base then give you a list of titles and keywords to focus on,

14:36

Speaker A

do the blog part, or you can do the social media part and connect it. And again, this becomes you you can 100% fully automate this if you're using Arvo and Blotato's API. The other cool thing real quick, the other cool features here

14:50

Speaker A

right? To create content around. So, this is your content plan. So, then you can take that content and create fully automated optimized blogs with that information because it did a gap analysis.

15:06

Speaker A

you how to optimize your pages on your website. Any you know, identify any missing meta descriptions, any missing alt text, uh site structure. So all the components here, it'll tell you what to fix and why to fix it. So this is good

15:20

Speaker A

It did a competitor analysis for this content. So, you can go and take this and create your own articles or you can do it in Arvo via their API, which is 100% automated, or you can do it manually in Arvo. So, Arvo has a couple

15:33

Speaker A

prompts here. The main search terms that people are using to find you and making sure you're visible on LLMs. And you can add your own prompts. Prompts are basically just search how people are searching, long-tail search intent. So, this is one

15:45

Speaker A

of options to do it. So, we can set this up with their API. So, if you go into content, uh integrati

15:55

Speaker A

showing up on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini over time. You can track the visibility and the sentiment. Make sure people aren't talking trash, you have positive sentiment. So, you can add as many of these prompts as you want. Again, LLMs

16:07

Speaker A

are taking a lot of traffic, you want to make sure that you're showing up as much as possible. Uh, the other really cool thing for, um, for authority is backlinks. So, they have, uh, automated backlinks now. So, how this works, this

16:20

Speaker A

is really cool cuz backlinks are super important to ranking your website, to getting more traffic. So, every customer here that does this is put in this backlink pool, right? So, when you're creating your blog articles, it's going to include external links as well as

16:38

Speaker A

internal links. So, it's going to pull from here for the external links that make sense, that match your brand. And these are going to be trusted backlinks.

16:46

Speaker A

And then vice versa, when these people are creating content, it's going to look at your backlinks and include, uh, external links to your to your website, to your pages for that backlink opportunity. And there's thousands and thousands of customers using this. So,

17:04

Speaker A

most people are getting two to five backlinks per day just by simply entering their website here. That's all you have to do and you're automatically, uh, getting those backlinks. Uh, and then it tracks them over time. So, once

17:17

Speaker A

you add your website, it'll track, you know, how many you can see all of your backlinks that you're getting. So, this is really, really cool. This is included uh, as one of the perks of Arvel, and this is fantastic to improve uh, your

17:29

Speaker A

authority, increase your rank. The other thing, just as just to note, it can create uh, amazing news articles. You can create a newsfeed based on your niche, which is really important to capitalize on trends. You can turn YouTube videos into articles. Lots of

17:44

Speaker A

really cool stuff you can do with this. Lots of features and benefits to grow your shop. Again, this is what I'm using for uh, for these websites uh, along with this workflow. So, that is it.

17:55

Speaker A

Hopefully, that makes sense. Again, you can use this in Claude, in um, in Codex. The only things you need is copy and paste this in there and give it the API keys if you're using the API, and then you can tailor it to your

18:08

Speaker A

brand. You just talk with it. If you want it to tweak it this way or that way, but it'll run the full analysis for you. You can run this weekly to get your full week's worth of content. You can do

18:17

Speaker A

it a month of content. However you guys want to do it. Uh, so that hopefully helps you guys out. All the information is below. I'll be back soon with some more good stuff for you. Uh, check out this other video on amazing SEO
