When to Use

Activate this skill when the user asks to:

• •Create a new blog post
• •Write content for a keyword
• •Generate blog content for MD Home Care

Workflow

Step 1: Cannibalization Check (MANDATORY)

STOP! Before creating any new content, you MUST check if existing pages already rank for the target keyword.

Run the cannibalization check:

cd /Users/andredeansmith/mdhomecarebuild/src/scripts
python3 advanced_gsc_analyzer.py --keyword "[USER_KEYWORD]"

Interpret the results:

1. •

   If pages ARE found ranking for the keyword:

   • •DO NOT create a new blog post
   • •Instead, update the existing top-ranking page
   • •Run a full page analysis on the existing page:
     bash

     python3 advanced_gsc_analyzer.py --page "/blog/[existing-slug]"
     

   • •Inform the user: "I found existing pages ranking for this keyword. To avoid cannibalization, I recommend updating [existing page] instead of creating a new post."
2. •

   If NO pages are found ranking:

   • •Proceed to Step 2 to create new content
   • •The script will output: "No pages found ranking for this keyword. It's safe to create a new post."

Why this matters: Creating multiple pages targeting the same keyword splits ranking signals and hurts SEO performance. Always consolidate content on a single authoritative page.

Step 2: GSC Page Analysis (for existing pages)

If Step 1 found existing pages, analyze the top-ranking page to understand what keywords it already ranks for:

python3 advanced_gsc_analyzer.py --page "/blog/[existing-slug]"

Extract:

• •Primary keyword (highest traffic)
• •Rising star keywords (improving positions)
• •Opportunity keywords (high impressions, low CTR)
• •Striking distance keywords (positions 11-20)

Use this data to enhance the existing page with the new keyword while preserving its existing ranking signals.

Step 3: Groq Research

Use current date context:

cd /Users/andredeansmith/mdhomecarebuild/src/scripts
CURRENT_DATE=$(date +"%B %Y")

python3 groq_research.py "What are the latest developments about '[PRIMARY_KEYWORD]' as of ${CURRENT_DATE}? Include recent changes and updates."

python3 groq_research.py "When people search for '[PRIMARY_KEYWORD]', what information are they trying to find? What problems are they solving?"

python3 groq_research.py "Search Reddit discussions about '[PRIMARY_KEYWORD]' in ${CURRENT_DATE} - what questions and concerns are people discussing?"
