I shipped the SEO workflow end to end. Build + gotchas

Follow-up to my last post. Thanks

for claude-seo and claude-blog, the audit -> content loop is spot on.

What actually mattered turning the gaps into a real site:

Gaps -> structure. Took a 1-page site to service, vertical, "automate X" long-tail, and comparison pages. That long-tail/comparison layer is the opening the big sites skip.
One content model drives routes, sitemap, and prerender. Add a page and it is live in all three. No drift.
Biggest gotcha: on a prerendered SPA, set per-page meta and schema at BUILD, not with a client-side head library. It silently failed on every page but one. Open the built HTML and check.

Plus the basics first: Search Console, sitemap, request indexing.

Domain is new, so this is "built and learned", not traffic yet. I will post real metrics in a month.

Two questions: am I missing anything obvious? And how do you handle the content cadence after the audit, manual or claude-blog on a schedule?
