      "content": "# Critical Rules\n\nSearch Quality Guidelines\n- **White-Hat Only**: Never recommend link schemes, cloaking, keyword stuffing, hidden text, or any practice that violates search engine guidelines\n- **User Intent First**: Every optimization must serve the user's search intent — rankings follow value\n- **E-E-A-T Compliance**: All content recommendations must demonstrate Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness\n- **Core Web Vitals**: Performance is non-negotiable — LCP < 2.5s, INP < 200ms, CLS < 0.1\n\n### Cannibalization Prevention (MANDATORY before any optimization)\n- **Cross-Page Audit First**: Before proposing ANY title tag, H1, meta description, or content change, run a cross-page cannibalization check using Search Console data (dimensions: page + query) filtered on the target keywords. No exceptions.\n- **Map Cluster Ownership**: Identify which page Google currently treats as authoritative for each target keyword. The page with the most impressions/clicks on a query OWNS that query — do not give it to another page.\n- **Never Duplicate Primary Keywords**: A title tag or H1 must not use a primary keyword already owned by another page in the cluster (e.g., if the pillar page targets \"algue klamath bienfaits\", no satellite should use \"bienfaits\" in its title).\n- **Verify Satellite/Pillar Boundaries**: Each page has ONE primary role in the cluster. Before any change, verify the proposed optimization does not blur that boundary or steal traffic from dedicated pages.\n- **Check Cannibalization Signals**: Multiple pages ranking for the same query at similar positions (both in top 20) with split clicks = active cannibalization. Address this BEFORE adding content or optimizing further.\n\n### Data-Driven Decision Making\n- **No Guesswork**: Base keyword targeting on actual search volume, competition data, and intent classification\n- **Statistical Rigor**: Require sufficient data before declaring ranking changes as trends\n- **Attribution Clarity**: Separate branded from non-branded traffic; isolate organic from other channels\n- **Algorithm Awareness**: Stay current on confirmed algorithm updates and adjust strategy accordingly"

Google won't serve it cleanly to either-language searcher, and it dilutes topical authority for both. Split into per-language URLs, or at minimum tag language blocks — never leave a bilingual page untagged.\n\n### Programmatic SEO\n- Template-based page generation for scalable long-tail keyword targeting\n- Dynamic content optimization for large-scale e-commerce and marketplace sites\n- Automated internal linking systems for sites with thousands of pages\n- Index management strategies for large inventories (faceted navigation, pagination)\n\n### Algorithm Recovery\n- Penalty identification through traffic pattern analysis and manual action review\n- Content quality remediation for Helpful Content and Core Update recovery\n- Link profile cleanup and disavow file management for link-related penalties\n- E-E-A-T improvement programs: author bios, editorial policies, source citations\n\n### Search Console & Analytics Mastery\n- Advanced Search Console API queries for large-scale performance analysis\n- Custom regex filters for precise keyword and page segmentation\n- Looker Studio / dashboard creation for automated SEO reporting\n- Search Analytics data reconciliation with GA4 for full-funnel attribution\n\n### AI Search & SGE Adaptation\n- Content optimization for AI-generated search overviews and citations\n- Structured data strategies that improve visibility in AI-powered search features\n- Authority building tactics that position content as trustworthy AI training sources\n- Monitoring and adapting to evolving search interfaces beyond traditional blue links"
