Framework-as-Diagnostic Overlay
Greg's 7-tactic framework overlaid on Yuri's current infra: | Tactic | Greg's framework says | We have | Verdict | |---|---|---|---| | 1. MCP server as sales team | Publish to Smithery/MCPT/OpenTools for $0 CAC discovery | Zero — neither BizBuilder/KPDD nor Solacian have an MCP server | **REAL GAP** — but applicability depends on whether the product answers a queryable question; Solacian (Maze-dissolving AI) plausibly does, KPDD (PMF discovery) plausibly does | | 2. Programmatic SEO at 10K-page scale | Next.js + Firecrawl + AI content for "best X for Y" patterns | Zero programmatic pages; KPDD/Solacian don't have SEO surface | **REAL GAP** for both; needs a keyword pattern decision before any code | | 3. Free tool as top of funnel | Grader/analyzer/calculator, instant value, share-driven loop | KPDD itself is arguably a discovery tool but is gated by signup, not free-tool-grade | **PARTIAL GAP** — KPDD could expose a free analyzer slice; Solacian could expose a free "Maze diagnostic" | | 4. AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) | Top-20 questions + FAQ schema + monitoring via Otterly/Profound | Zero structured FAQ surface on either product site | **REAL GAP** for bo…

Strategy 2: Programmatic SEO (10,000 Pages)
The thesis: create 10,000 SEO pages in 48 hours via keyword patterns + structured data + AI-generated unique content. Math model: - 10,000 pages × 30 visits/month each = 300,000 monthly visitors - 2% conversion = 6,000 conversions/month - $10 each = **$60,000/month from pages built once** - Caveat: 30 visits/month doesn't happen overnight; SEO compounds over time Critical: content must not feel like AI. Lots of optimization needed. Start with a few pages, scale once quality is right. "Press one button" myth is rejected explicitly. Playbook (start this week): 1. Pick a keyword pattern: `[product type] for [niche]` or `[service] in [city]`. Examples: "CRM for dentists", "roofing in Miami" 2. Build dataset via Firecrawl (scrapes + clean structured data) or existing databases 3. Create page template in your framework: Next.js, Webflow, WordPress — pick what you use 4. Use AI to generate unique paragraphs per page (not variable swaps; high-quality content) 5. Human-in-the-loop editing on a sample 6. Publish 100 pages as MVP 7. Monitor indexation 8. Scale once indexed Applies to: services, SaaS, apps, boring businesses, agencies. Programmatic SEO is still under-tapped.

1.5 Competitor Creative Mining + AI Tagging (Apify pipeline)
Source: [[competitor-creative-mining-apify-pipeline.md]] **When to use**: entering a niche, no creative ideas, need to know what's working in competitor ads RIGHT NOW. Pre-step before §1.3 (code generation) — gives you the parameter library to remix from. **Process**: 1. Apify actor `curious_coder/facebook-ads-library-scraper` ($0.20-0.75 / 1K ads) pulls competitor ads from Meta Ads Library by search URL or competitor page list 2. Edit node computes `days_running = (end_date - start_date) / 86400` — proxy for performance (winners run 30+ days, losers killed in <7) 3. Download creatives to Google Drive or Supabase 4. GPT-4o vision analyzes each image, returns structured JSON: `ai_hook`, `ai_offer`, `ai_cta`, `ai_psychology`, `ai_utp`, `ai_jtbd`, `main_object`, `main_color`, `ai_description` 5. Code node validates JSON schema (one column = one property) 6. Merge node joins AI tags with metadata 7. Google Sheets append: one row per ad with image, params, days running, reach, est. spend 8. **Spend hack**: `est_spend = reach × avg_CPM_in_geo`; rank by `est_spend × days_running` to find competitor hero creatives 9. Output sheet feeds downstream creative-generation a…

Strategy 4: Answer Engine Optimization (AEO)
The thesis: be the source AI cites. Old SEO (30,000-word blog posts, backlink building, keyword stuffing) is declining; zero-click searches growing. AEO in 2026 = SEO in 2010. First movers will own niches for years. Goal: get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity via structured direct answers, FAQ format, schema markup, comparison tables that AI can parse. Evidence: Peter Levels' AI referrals jumped from 4% to 20% in one month. Expected to keep increasing across e-commerce, SaaS, apps. Playbook (start this week): 1. Google the top 20 questions your customer asks 2. Write definitive structured answers for each — NOT 3,000-word fluff. Clear, direct, citation-worthy 3. Add schema markup and FAQ blocks 4. Publish on a domain with authority (or build authority through other strategies) 5. Monitor citations via Otterly, Profound, or manual testing Why Peter Levels wins faster: domain authority compounded over time. No better moment to start building authority than now.

Pattern 9: The Story-Not-Product Pattern
**What it is**: What gets press, creates word-of-mouth, and drives organic adoption is not the product - it's the STORY around the product. The story must be interesting independent of the product. **Evidence**: DoNotPay ("19-year-old builds robot lawyer"), Airbnb (Obama O's cereal), Telegram (founder vs. Russian government), Hey (fight with Apple), WePay (ice block at PayPal conference), mmhmm (1.4M view demo video -> 100K waitlist) **BizBuilder implication**: Every founder needs a story before they need a landing page. The proposer should ask: "If a journalist had 1 sentence about your product, what would make them actually write the article?" If the answer is boring, fix the story first. ---
