🚀 Building an Agentic SEO System for the AI Era: The Theory
The game has changed. Traditional SEO audits aren’t enough anymore—today we need systems that optimize for Answer Engines, Generative Engines, and AI Agents. Here’s the core idea: 👉 Build a modular agentic system that ingests any URL, crawls the site, and produces a long, prioritized optimization plan across AEO, GEO, and Agent Optimization. Instead of one giant monolith, orchestrate a crew of specialized sub-agents: - 🛠️ Technical SEO Agent (indexability, performance, schema health) - 📄 Content + AEO Agent (questions, snippets, entity answers) - 🤖 GEO Agent (visibility in AI overviews + LLMs) - 🔗 Structured Data & Feed Agent (schema, XML, JSON-LD bundles) - 🎥 Media Agent (video-first assets + transcripts) - 🌍 Off-Page/Brand Agent (mentions, trust, signals) Pull in proven SEO data sources (Search Console, Analytics, Semrush/Ahrefs, Lighthouse, YouTube/TikTok metadata) → then automate analysis, scoring, and fix suggestions. 🏗️ What This Looks Like in Practice Inputs: - A domain or URL - Optional business goals (e.g. “increase AI snippet inclusion” or “win entity presence”) System Actions: 1. Crawl + Enrich → fetch, render, pull API data (Search Console, Analytics, link + brand signals) 2. Analyze across 3 pillars (AEO, GEO, Agent Readiness) 3. Output → a long-form report with: 4. Track + Iterate → measure deltas in AI snippet share, mentions, watch time, and entity presence over time 📊 Scoring Frameworks Every site gets clear 0–100 scores: - AEO Score - GEO Score - Agent Readiness Score - Technical Health - Media + Off-Page Authority Scores aren’t just vanity—they show priority gaps + projected impact, with confidence intervals. ⚡ Example 7-Day Action Plan (Auto-Customized) - Day 1: Map top 20 buyer questions → ship TL;DRs + FAQ Hub - Day 2: Fix top 5 money pages → intros, bullets, outbound citations - Day 3: Deploy schema (Org, Website, Product, FAQ) + sitemap refresh - Day 4: Create short videos + demo → publish with VideoObject schema - Day 5: Earn brand mentions → contribute answers, reclaim unlinked mentions - Day 6: Launch 1 micro-tool (calculator/quiz/configurator) - Day 7: Instrument measurement (AI snippet share, watch time, brand/entity lift)
