Draft. Not yet reviewed. Check facts before you use it with customers.

A monthly cadence that grows search traffic and gets each product named and cited in AI answers for the queries midsize+ buyers use.

When to use

Run every month for every product site. Also run an extra cycle after a launch, a site migration, or when the monthly AI-answer run shows a drop.

Do not use it to fix technical indexing problems. Run Search Console and Bing setup first. How search consoles feed AI answers is explained once in Search and AI visibility; this play doesn’t repeat it.

Goal and metric

More qualified organic demand and more AI answers that mention us accurately.

  • Non-brand organic clicks (GSC + Bing) to product, comparison and migration pages.
  • Organic demo and trial sign-ups (GA4).
  • AI answer mention rate from AI answer monitoring.

Who does what

Role Responsibility
SEO lead (per product) Runs the cycle, picks topics, owns the monthly report
Content writer Briefs and refreshes pages via the blog program
Web developer Structured data, internal links, performance fixes
Claude (via MCP, read-only) Pulls GSC/Bing queries, finds gaps, drafts briefs (see MCP and tools)

Steps

Week 1: pick topics

  1. Pull the last 28 days of GSC and Bing queries. Flag queries with high impressions and position 5–20, and new queries.
  2. Add gaps from the latest AI-monitoring run (prompts where we’re absent or described wrongly) and from sales questions.
  3. Pick 3–5 topics per product. Prefer buyer-intent themes from the product’s GTM plan (see Product notes): category + “enterprise”, comparisons, migration, security, pricing model.

Week 2: refresh before you create

  1. For each topic, find the existing page first. Refresh it if it exists; create one only if nothing fits.
  2. Lead with a direct, quotable answer in the first 2–3 sentences. Add a comparison table or spec list and an FAQ block that answers the buyer’s real questions (use the product’s file in _reference/objections/).
  3. Update facts: versions, platforms, compliance, deployment options. Link pricing to the live page; never paste prices.

Week 3: connect and mark up

  1. Add 3+ internal links from relevant high-traffic pages to each refreshed page, with descriptive anchor text.
  2. Add or fix structured data: Organization, SoftwareApplication, FAQPage, BreadcrumbList, HowTo where it fits. Validate with Google’s Rich Results Test.
  3. Resubmit updated URLs through IndexNow (Bing and others) and request indexing in GSC for key pages.

Week 4: earn citations and report

  1. Get the page referenced off-site: docs, GitHub samples, community answers, partner pages, review sites. AI answers often cite third-party sources.
  2. Report in the weekly GTM review at month end: topics shipped, query movement, AI mention changes, next month’s picks.

Checklist

  • 3–5 topics picked per product, each tied to a query or AI gap
  • Existing page refreshed before any new page created
  • Direct answer, table and FAQ on every refreshed page
  • Structured data validated
  • Internal links added; URLs pushed via IndexNow
  • Monthly summary posted

Talk track / messaging

Use each product’s positioning file in _reference/positioning/ for claims and keyword themes. Write for the midsize+ buyer in ICP: security, scale, deployment and support answers belong on the page, not behind a form.

Assets

Examples

TODO: add a real example

Common mistakes

  • Writing new posts when an existing page already ranks on page 2.
  • Burying the answer under a long intro; AI answers skip it.
  • FAQ markup on content that isn’t visible on the page.
  • Chasing high-volume developer-beginner terms that never convert to midsize+ deals.
  • Tracking rankings only and ignoring AI mentions.

Product notes

  • essential-studio: large docs and demo footprint; prioritize internal links from docs to component and comparison pages. See GTM plan.
  • bold-bi: embedded-analytics and “white-label BI” themes. See GTM plan.
  • bold-reports: SSRS and Crystal Reports migration pages first. See GTM plan.
  • boldsign: API and compliance pages carry enterprise intent. See GTM plan.
  • bolddesk: AI-native help desk themes; never publish the 90% automation goal as a result (TODO: source). See GTM plan.
  • boldcreate and bolddocserver: see their BoldCreate and BoldDocServer GTM plans for keyword themes.
