SerpDad documentation

What SerpDad is, who it is for, how the Plan, Write, Measure, Improve and Workflows loop fits together, and where to start reading.

In short: SerpDad turns a list of keywords into a page plan: which pages to build, which existing pages to improve, and why. Every call it makes comes with a receipt, which is the evidence behind that call. You bring your own provider keys, so you see every provider cost before anything runs.

What SerpDad is

SerpDad is an SEO planning and content tool. It reads the top 10 Google results for each of your keywords and counts how many results two keywords share. Keywords that share enough results go on one page. Each keyword gets exactly one owner page, so no two planned pages chase the same keyword.

From that plan, SerpDad writes briefs for writers, helps draft articles only from sourced material, and tracks what happens after you publish. SerpDad never publishes to your site. It stages drafts for a person to review.

Who it is for

  • SEO and content leads who own a site's organic plan and need a page list they can defend.
  • Agencies that run plans, briefs and reports for many clients.
  • Writers and editors who need one self-contained brief and a clear sign-off step.

SerpDad works best for sites that already publish, have pages in Google Search Console and pay for content.

The loop

SerpDad is built around one loop. Each step feeds the next.

StepWhat you doWhere in the app
PlanImport keywords, approve the estimate, run the plan, answer the few calls the data cannot settlePlan hub: Import, Plan, Review, Topical map, Parked
WriteRead briefs, check claims, draft, verify and sign off articlesWrite hub: Briefs, Drafts, Fact library
MeasureConnect Search Console, track ranks, check AI Overview citations, build reportsMeasure hub: Results, Rank tracking, AI visibility, Competitors, Report
ImproveWork the content audit, refresh decaying pages, fix linksImprove hub: Content audit, Decay and refresh, Site pages, Internal links, Outgoing links
WorkflowsTurn the steps above into scheduled jobs and custom workflowsJobs hub: All jobs, Pick a job, Clients, and Advanced workflows

The rules SerpDad keeps

  • One keyword, one page. A plan that would give a keyword two pages fails instead of shipping.
  • Receipts on every call. The receipt shows the top 10 results, the overlap, the fetch date and which key paid.
  • Estimate before the click. Nothing that spends money on your provider accounts runs until someone approves it.
  • No invented facts. Every claim needs a source and a person's check.
  • Never publishes. WordPress, Webflow, Shopify and Google Docs get drafts only.
  • No ranking promises. SerpDad describes what it found. It never says it caused a ranking change.
