0:00Over the last 60 days, I've been working

0:02with Open Claw and Hermes to create a

0:05blog agent that is helping me rank live

0:09in things like Claude, AI search within

0:11Google, Gemini, and Perplexity, and so

0:15on. And I'm going to show you in this

0:16video how I have gone ahead and created

0:19this entire agent to help me rank in

0:22these elements.

0:23So, before we do that, let's see if

0:26this is actually the case and if I'm

0:28telling the truth. So, we're going to

0:29ask it a question that I've been

0:30targeting pretty hard, which is

0:35can you suggest any tools, any

0:40social listening tools that are good for

0:44B2B?

0:48And let's see what that comes back with.

0:52Do do do do do. Boom! Straight away, we

0:54have come up as number one, which is

0:56pretty cool. Now, let's go check

0:59LinkedIn. Sorry, not LinkedIn. Let's go

1:01check

1:02Claude here. Now, what I'm going to do

1:04is I'm just going to go into incognito

1:05mode so that it doesn't use any of my

1:07history cuz obviously if it uses my

1:08history, it will just suggest us.

1:11So, we're going to say same thing. Can

1:13you suggest some tools that are good for

1:18social listening for B2B companies?

1:23Let's see what happens

1:25here.

1:30The suspense.

1:32Do do do do do do do.

1:35Oh, looks like we

1:41Boom!

1:42Got a little mention there as well. I

1:44thought we weren't getting one there. I

1:45got a little bit nervous. So, we're

1:47we're in here as well. So, you know, I

1:49noticed this the other day, right? We

1:50started having a lot of demos come to us

1:52and we noticed that people were finding

1:54us through things like Claude, ChatGPT,

1:57Perplexity, and uh kind of Google's AI

2:00search as well, which is really

2:01interesting. And how we've basically

2:03been doing it

2:04is I've built uh using um

2:08Hermes and and open Claude this kind of

2:10like blog agent. So, here's how the

2:13actual flow works. So, initially I

2:15prompted in Discord. Um in fact, let's

2:18take a step back. We initially have an

2:21agent that runs once a month that uses

2:24Ahrefs and performs a deep audit on how

2:28our SEO is performing, and it produces

2:30an unbelievably

2:32complex

2:33uh and detailed report giving me the

2:36keywords we need to rank for, how our

2:37competitors are doing, so on and so on.

2:39So, that gets ingested into our

2:42knowledge base, and we're using Obsidian

2:45as a Triggerfyre kind of brain, and it's

2:47unbelievably wild inside of there right

2:49now. And I'll do a video on that another

2:51day. But, it has that information

2:54already done that. So, when I come to it

2:56and say, "Hey, listen,

2:58I want to go ahead and create a blog

3:00around XYZ." It first of all goes into a

3:0412-step interview process. Now, the

3:08reason that it's doing this is it knows,

3:11based on the skills, and we'll go in and

3:13have a look at this, that it needs to

3:15create a pillar blog, and then uh I

3:18think it's either three or four cluster

3:20blogs around that pillar blog, okay? So,

3:22that's very, very key. We create a

3:24pillar one, which is typically longer,

3:26and then you have your more short form

3:28uh short form blogs, which are the uh

3:30cluster blogs.

3:32Then we use this research agent. So, it

3:34basically um goes and uses three

3:37parallel agents in tandem, which is

3:39calling on past knowledge based on our

3:42Obsidian memory. It's using uh Firecrawl

3:46to go out and find fresh new information

3:49that are interesting, and starts to

3:51create the research and starts to plan

3:55obviously the pillar and the cluster. So

3:58like what that would actually look like,

4:00how that would be shaped, and how they

4:02would basically articulate the argument.

4:06From there, we then start to build the

4:08blogs. So it writes five parallel

4:11writers in tandem. So it basically uses

4:14sub agents to then go ahead and create

4:17these five blogs. While it's also doing

4:21this, it uses the new chat GPT image

4:24model two, which is insanely good, to

4:27create visuals on the fly. Not only

4:31that, is it's also using screenshots

4:34from its research with Firecrawl, where

4:37it can then embed that inside of the

4:38blog as well. So we're getting this full

4:39kind of really nice well-articulated

4:43article that's highly SEO optimized,

4:45along with custom images and screenshots

4:48where it needs to kind of strengthen a

4:50particular argument or whatever.

4:53From there, it goes straight into

4:55Webflow as

4:59into our CMS, right? And it goes into

5:01draft.

5:02Now, here's the key thing is it's

5:04cross-linking pillar to clusters and any

5:07other blogs that are relevant as well.

5:10It then basically says, "Okay, hey

5:13Max, these have been drafted. Do you

5:15want to go in and approve them?" I

5:17essentially will go

5:19I will go into Webflow and have a read

5:22and approve or not. If I don't, I can

5:25come back to my agent and say, "Let's go

5:27ahead and make these changes."

5:30And then it gets approved and out it

5:32goes. So that's the kind of flow in its

5:35entirety. Let's have a look how this

5:36kind of

5:38plays in action when chatting with my

5:41agent.

5:42Okay, so we are now live in my Discord.

5:45We can see all of the different agents

5:47that I have. I have a lot of different

5:48ones. Funny enough, you can actually see

5:50that I said I'm going to do a YouTube

5:52video

5:53uh around this. Can you give me some

5:56help with the hook statement, what I

5:57should follow, anything else key, and

5:59create me a visual uh as well? So, you

6:02can see that I'm using this in practice.

6:05So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to

6:06say I'm going to fire up a chat here,

6:08and we're going to say

6:10uh I want to

6:12um write a blog about

6:15um

6:17you know, social signals you can pull

6:20from Hacker News for GTM teams.

6:25So, there we go. Let's pull up this

6:27thread here.

6:29And we're going to see the initial

6:31phase, and if we look at the initial

6:33phase, that was this kind of interview

6:36uh process. So, the first thing that

6:38it's gone and done is it's gone and

6:39looked at the brain. Then it's gone and

6:41looked at the skill that I've created,

6:43which is this long skill on uh blog

6:46creation and blog pipeline. There's also

6:49cross-references in this skill to other

6:52skills that I've created as well. So, we

6:55have how to write s- highly

6:57SEO-optimized

6:59blogs. We have um

7:02uh the actual how to use the Webflow

7:04skill. Um we have just this this kind of

7:07like overarching skill. Um we have the

7:10image creation and what it needs to to

7:11to do. We have a lot of different skills

7:14embedded inside of this one skill or

7:16where it references others as well to

7:18help me get to that point. So, you can

7:20see here, it's now asking me a lot of

7:21different questions about uh audiences,

7:24angles, authors, and it'll continue to

7:26ask me questions if I explored this. Um

7:29I'm going to actually ask it a another

7:31side question here just to give you a

7:32good example of how this is working.

7:36Um

7:37I'm going to say side question.

7:40How are we writing

7:43good SEO optimized

7:47uh blogs? Give me the five key points

7:55from within your skills. Let's see what

7:57it says uh here as well to see how it's

8:00basically been helping write our current

8:02blogs

8:03um to get us uh

8:06ranked as well, which I think is pretty

8:07cool.

8:09Okay. So, it's just pulled one from the

8:11blog pipeline and the AI SEO here. So,

8:15first one was lead every H2 with a 40 to

8:1760-word direct answer paragraph. AI

8:20search for things like Perplexity,

8:21ChatGPT, Google

8:24Google AI overviews extracts passages,

8:27not pages. So, if your first 60 words

8:30under a heading aren't the answer, you

8:32don't get cited. So, that's why if you

8:34have a look at some of our blogs, they

8:36have the TLDR at the top and an FAQ

8:38block at the bottom, both written as

8:41extractable uh snippets. We also are

8:44very stat dense, cited in line with

8:46named sources that helps query pattern

8:48and headings uh and comparison tables.

8:51Uh the architecture is obviously as I've

8:53described, it's around a pillar blog and

8:55the clusters with a bridge quotes uh

8:58cross-links, which uh helps with uh SEO

9:00perspective. And then we have the named

9:02author, freshness, and schema as well.

9:04So, we have the byline with the

9:05credentials,

9:07when it was last updated. Um these

9:09things are all matter for kind of the

9:12SEO, AEO, whatever you want to uh call

9:15it as well.

9:16So, what I'm going to do is if you're

9:19interested in this and how to operate

9:23this,

9:24um I'm going to drop a link

9:26uh

9:27which gives you the prompt

9:29so that your Hermes or your Open Claw or

9:32your Claw Code uh can basically go ahead

9:36and set this blog flow up. You might

9:38need to edit it for WordPress, you might

9:40need to edit it if you're using a

9:42different kind of

9:44website hosting tool that's not Webflow,

9:46but for for this it would then allow

9:48your agent to set this up and mirror

9:49this exactly. The key thing though is

9:52you do need to have a Obsidian brain

9:54system set up for best results.

9:58And you know, where we can go from here,

10:00which I think is pretty cool,

10:02is we could actually start to automate

10:03this entirely. Given we have the initial

10:06SEO report, it knows what words it needs

10:08to try and rank for. It knows what

10:10competitors it needs to try and kind of

10:12outdo. And therefore, I could in theory

10:16turn this into more of a

10:20automated system, right? Where it goes

10:22and creates the blogs, creates the

10:23ideas. I don't come to it with the idea.

10:26And from there it would then basically

10:28just you create it and come to me for

10:30approval or even auto publish it if you

10:32wanted to.

10:33And in theory, you could smash out you

10:35know, 20-30 blogs a month if you really

10:38wanted to. That's up to you.

10:41For now, I'm going to keep it manual. I

10:42really like a human in the loop process

10:45and like working with it.

10:47But in theory, we could fully automated

10:49this and turn this into more of a fully

10:51fledged cron workflow.
