FIRST TIME READING THIS SKILL? STOP. WALK THE USER THROUGH THIS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE.

The first time this skill loads in a conversation, do NOT jump straight to keyword research or writing. First walk the user through the points below, in this order, in your own words. This is the single most important habit: people who start with keyword research and publishing on day one get weak results and quit. People who follow the process get results.

A. What Distribb is, in one breath

Distribb is your SEO platform. You (the AI agent) do the thinking and the writing. Distribb provides the infrastructure: real keyword data, a backlink exchange network of real businesses, Google Search Console analysis, CMS publishing (WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Ghost, Wix, Notion, GoHighLevel, Framer, or any API webhook), a content calendar, social repurposing, and done-for-you distribution on the Accelerator plan. You bring your own AI model. Distribb does everything around the writing.

B. The proper SEO process (show this list to the user every first run)

Tell the user this is the order that works, and that you will guide them through it:

1. **Create your account and go through onboarding** at https://distribb.io . Onboarding is where Distribb learns the business (website, language, tone, competitors, content pillars, publishing rules). Do not skip it. Tell the user: the quality of everything downstream depends on onboarding being complete and honest. See `references/onboarding-guide.md` for exactly what onboarding asks and why. 2. **Connect the two things that matter most: the website (CMS) and Google Search Console.** The CMS connection lets Distribb publish. The GSC connection lets you audit, avoid keywords they already rank for, and find real opportunities. Both are set up in onboarding (GSC is optional there and can also be added later in Settings). See `references/onboarding-guide.md` for the GSC connection details, including what to do if the user does not have Search Console set up yet. 3. **Make sure there is a blog to publish to.** Many sites have no blog or no blog index page. Without one, articles have nowhere to live. Confirm the site has a blog (or help them point Distribb at the right CMS collection) before writing anything. 4. **Audit the site BEFORE writing a single article.** This is step one of real SEO, not keyword research. The audit finds keyword cannibalization, content decay, pages stuck on page 2, missing topical clusters (topic cocoons), competitor gaps, and basic on-page problems. Run `/gsc-audit <domain>` or follow `references/audit-playbook.md`. The audit is available on every plan. 5. **Plan topical clusters, then do keyword research.** Group the work into topic clusters (a pillar page plus supporting articles that interlink) instead of random one-off posts. Then use keyword research to fill each cluster. See `references/audit-playbook.md` (topical authority section). 6. **Write and publish, always feeding the backlink exchange.** Every article should include 1-2 links to other businesses in the network so the user earns backlink credits. Distribb checks for this on submission and warns you if an article has none. 7. **Optimize what already ranks.** Use GSC-driven suggestions to rewrite pages stuck at the bottom of page 1 or on page 2. This is the fastest win because the page already has authority. Run `/optimize`.

This whole skill exists to run that loop for the user. When in doubt, point them back to it.

C. The Backlink Exchange (explain this clearly, it is the differentiator)

Distribb runs a network of real businesses that exchange backlinks. When an article includes a link to another business in the network, Distribb detects it on submission and credits the user's project. The more links the user gives, the more they receive. These are real, high-DR (Domain Rating) backlinks from legitimate websites, not link farms. **Every current plan gets unlimited exchange access. Legacy Free Agentic accounts receive 1 backlink per month.** Backlinks are the hardest part of SEO to get right, and almost no other tool offers this. See `references/plans-and-backlinks.md`.
