Building an Obsidian vault as a 'brain' for AI agents to run SEO across my 6 businesses. Am I overengineering this?

Hey Folks!

I run a few businesses (local service company, multi location retail, couple restaurants) and I've been using AI heavily for SEO work. The problem I keep hitting is that it mixes current advice with stuff from 2021, and it will confidently tell me to do things that contradict what it told me last month.

So my plan is to flip it. Instead of asking AI what to do, I'm building an Obsidian vault that acts as the single source of truth, and the AI agents are only allowed to execute what's in the vault. If it's not in there, they have to ask instead of guessing.

Rough setup:

  1. Every tactic is its own note with a status (approved, experimental, deprecated) and agents can only run approved ones
  2. Notes have review dates, so anything that hasn't been checked in 30+ days past due automatically gets treated as untrusted
  3. If new info contradicts an old note, both get frozen and it pings me to decide which one wins. Nothing executes until I resolve it
  4. Separate agents for drafting, editing, QA, and approval so nothing checks its own work. Content goes through 5 hands before I publish
  5. Backlink prospecting runs automatically but a risk review agent can veto anything, and I approve every outreach batch before emails go out
  6. My SEO employee works the daily queues, I only see high risk stuff and conflicts

The part I haven't solved: the vault is only as good as what I feed it. I don't want to seed it with random blog posts and YouTube guru stuff.

So two questions for people actually doing this for a living::

Is there a genuinely reliable, maintainedd SEO knowledge source you'd trust as the foundation? Thinking Google's own docs obviously, but beyond that, what's actually held up over the last few core updates? (kyle roof, matt diggity, etc)

And honestly, is this whole governance layer worth it, or am I solving a problem that just careful prompting would fix? Took me a while to design and it'll take a few weeks to build.

I'd be also happy to share this out in the public if anyone's interested for free.

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns. I was going to do the same with some input from the client about what cities or towns he would like to show up in? submitted by /u/Letmeinterviewyou [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News http://bit.ly/2JHy0k0

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
