description: Make a "<competitor> reviews" video: compile REAL, verified reviews of a competitor, name the recurring gaps, position the connected project's own business as the alternative, hand off to the project's own testimonials, then publish it to YouTube and close the loop with a companion article.

Produce and publish a keyword-targeted **"<competitor> reviews"** video for: `$ARGUMENTS`

This is the **Review-Conquest** workflow. You compile REAL, verified reviews of a competitor (mostly the honest negatives + neutrals, a couple of positives for balance), surface the recurring gaps, and position **the connected project's own business**, whatever business is configured in Distribb, not any specific company, as the alternative that closes those gaps, ending by handing the mic to the project's own customer testimonials. Then you publish it to the connected YouTube channel and close the SEO loop with a companion article.

Distribb is the SEO brain (the keyword, GSC, the project's business context, publishing, the companion article + backlinks); the **`super-video-maker`** skill is the production engine. Install it once with `npx skills add Bomx/super-video-maker-skill` (or clone `https://github.com/Bomx/super-video-maker-skill`) and follow its **`REVIEW_VIDEO_PLAYBOOK.md`** for the research, verification, and faceless-VO-montage build.

Guardrail (read first)

Only put REAL, verified, attributable reviews on screen, never invent, embellish, paraphrase-as-a-quote, or doctor a review. Cherry-picking honest negatives is legitimate comparative marketing; fabricating or misrepresenting a competitor is false advertising + defamation. Be honest about the competitor's overall rating and win on the *pattern* in the complaints. If the competitor has no genuine critical-review volume, tell the user and stop. Never push anything but the connected project's own business.

Workflow

1. **Preflight.** Confirm `DISTRIBB_API_KEY` works (`GET /api/v1/projects`) and pick the `project_id`. Ensure super-video-maker is installed and the production keys exist (`ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` for VO; `OPENAI_API_KEY` optional for captions/inserts). Confirm the YouTube channel is connected (`GET /api/v1/integrations?project_id=<id>`); if not, send the user to https://distribb.io/integrations ("Connect via Google") and stop. 2. **Whose business is the alternative.** `GET /api/v1/business-context?project_id=<id>` for the project's name, value props, audience, language, and competitors. **THIS project's business is the alternative you position at the end, never hardcode a company.** If `$ARGUMENTS` doesn't name a competitor, offer the ones in `business_context.competitors`. 3. **Pick the keyword (the SEO step).** `POST /api/v1/keywords/search` on "<competitor> reviews" and "<competitor> alternative"; `GET /api/v1/search-console` for related striking-distance queries. The primary keyword becomes the title spine + the companion article's keyword. On a legacy Free Agentic account, if `keywords/search` returns HTTP 402 `byo_keys_required`, surface it verbatim and use the concept + GSC instead. 4. **Research + verify + produce** with super-video-maker's `REVIEW_VIDEO_PLAYBOOK.md`: fan out across every review surface (Trustpilot, G2/Capterra, app stores, Reddit/forums, review blogs, YouTube, social), extract verbatim reviews with exact source URLs, drive a real browser where sites 403 automated fetches (Trustpilot), **adversarially verify every critical quote**, then build the faceless VO montage. Map each recurring gap to a TRUE strength of THIS project's business (use the business context + `references/plans-and-backlinks.md` etc. for what is genuinely differentiated, e.g. real backlinks, internal linking, GSC-grounded content). Append the project's own testimonial reel if provided; end on the project's site/CTA. **Show the user the verified reviews + script before any paid generation.** 5. **Package for YouTube SEO.** Keyword-led title ("<Competitor> Reviews: …"), a description whose first line restates the keyword and states that **every review shown is real and sourced**, chapter timestamps (include the "Real <Business> customers" testimonial chapter), a link to the companion article + the project's site, tags = primary keyword + related terms, and a hook thumbnail. 6. **Publish to YouTube via Distribb.** With the channel connected, publish the finished MP4 to the connected channel through Distribb's Social publishing, applying the step-5 packaging. Record the YouTube URL. 7. **Close the loop.** Publish a companion Distribb article targeting "<competitor> reviews" / "<competitor> alternative" that embeds the video: `GET /api/v1/internal-links` and (if the project is in the exchange) `GET /api/v1/backlink-targets`, weave both in, then `POST /api/v1/articles`. If the response has a `backlinks_warning`, add network links and `PUT` the revised content. 8. **Summarize.** Competitor + primary keyword, the verified-review count + sources, the video path, the YouTube URL, the title/description/tags, and where the companion article landed.

Rules

• Install and drive super-video-maker; do not reimplement research/production here.
• Real, verified, attributable reviews only; the on-screen source stays visible. Be honest about

the competitor's overall rating.

• **The alternative is the connected project's business, pulled from business context, never

hardcode a specific company.** Only push that project.

• Keyword and title come from real keyword/GSC data. Real review screenshots, never generated ones.
• Confirm the YouTube connection and show the verified reviews + script before any paid generation.
