The core of SEO Agent

SOPs: your SEO playbooks, running themselves

A Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) packages a multi-step SEO playbook into a repeatable, automated workflow. Each one chains data pulls, AI analysis, recommended actions and tasks — running on demand or on a schedule, with human approval where it matters. This is what turns nine modules into an autonomous agent.

What is an SOP?

From scattered tasks to one repeatable workflow

Every SEO team has playbooks — the steps you run to refresh content, audit the site, or respond to a competitor. SOPs encode those playbooks so the agent can run them the same way, every time, without manual hand-offs.

Without SOPs

Manual, inconsistent, forgotten

  • Someone has to remember to pull the data each week
  • Each analyst runs the steps slightly differently
  • Insight stalls between "found it" and "fixed it"
  • No record of what was decided, or why
With SOPs

Automated, consistent, auditable

  • Runs on a schedule — Monday 9 AM, every week
  • The same best-practice steps, every single time
  • Data → analysis → action → task, in one chain
  • Every decision logged, gated and reversible
How an SOP runs

Five steps, chained and automated

Each SOP chains the agent's core loop end to end — so a single run goes from raw data to an executed, verified change.

1

Monitor

Pull data from the sources the playbook needs — Search Console, crawler, behavior, SEO feeds.

2

Analyze

Deterministic rules run first, then AI interprets the context to find what matters.

3

Recommend

Generate the specific fix — meta tags, schema, redirect plan, brief, outreach email.

4

Approve

Sensitive steps pause at a human gate via Slack or email before anything ships.

5

Act

Approved actions become tasks and changes — then the page is re-verified.

Anatomy of an SOP

Built for automation you can trust

Autonomy and oversight are designed together. Four controls make hands-off automation safe in production.

Approval gates

Content rewrites, disavows and other sensitive actions pause for human sign-off via Slack or email.

Stop / resume

Pause a run and resume later without losing any completed work.

Audit logging

Every automated decision and action is recorded — fully traceable and reversible.

Scheduling

Run on demand or on a cron schedule — weekly reports, daily checks, whatever the playbook needs.

A worked example

The Behavior-Driven Refresh SOP

A single SOP can span multiple modules. This one connects behavior analytics to content — turning how real users struggle into an approved, executed page rewrite.

  • Pulls user session + heatmap data
  • AI identifies the friction points
  • Drafts content rewrites and routes them for approval
  • Captures the change as a task and re-verifies the page
