OpenClaw AISO, how to rank number one with OpenClaw. So OpenClaw AISO is working right now. And in this video, I'm going to show you the exact steps I used to rank on Google with this AI agent. And you can train it specifically to do AISO to rank number one for you.
And it's very simple. It works in four simple steps. So all you're going to focus on is keywords, outlines, content, quality checking, and OpenClaw handles most of the heavy lifting. Let's get straight into it.
Now, before we were using the system, we were seeing around 234 clicks a day on our website. After implementing this property of OpenClaw, that went to 727 clicks a day, and it's still climbing. The reason it works is simple. OpenClaw can browse the web live.
It's not writing from memory like chat GPT does. It's looking at what's actually ranking right now in real time and building content around that data. Big difference. Also, it has a lot of context because it's an AI agent trained specifically for me.
There's no other OpenClaw set up like it in the world because I give it all the context of my business and what we're doing here. So if you want someone to build this entire system for you, you can book in a free SEO strategy session at juliangoldie.com. We'll audit your site, find the low competition keywords you competitors are sleeping on, and give you a clear roadmap to rank. And we're going to get straight into exactly how to do this.
So step number one is keywords. First of all, what you're going to do is OpenClaw. So you give it your niche. Then you run something like this.
So you put in your prompt, which is, for example, you would type in your niche. And then for keyword research, you would say, go for low competition keywords. Don't go anything too niche. People must actually be searching for it, right?
So you're trying to find and automate keywords for this stuff. And what you're looking for are specific low competition phrases that real people are typing into Google. Now you can get OpenClaw to actually help you with that. You could even plug in an API key from Ahrefs or SEMrush to help you too.
But the main point here is that you're looking for specific low competition phrases, not broad terms that massive sites already own, right? The long tail stuff. That's where you can actually compete. So for example, if you're a local consultant, it could be like, for example, best AI tools for SEO agencies, something like that, right?
Super long tail, super low competition. And you're looking for those specific wins from there. Now OpenClaw will come back to you with a list. You pick the ones that feel the most relevant to you, your audience, and what you offer.
Step number two is the content outline. So you're gonna take the chosen keyword from step one and type it into Google. You're gonna look at the top ranking pages. You want to reverse engineer it and look at, okay, what headings are these?
And what subheadings? How long is the article? What topics do they cover? The beautiful thing is that you can actually get OpenClaw to scan those pages.
So OpenClaw can browse the web. It's an air agent. It has access to all the same data you do. And so OpenClaw can actually go from there.
Now, the other option that you have is you can actually just copy and paste what's working on Google into OpenClaw and then just say extract the keywords, the LSIs, and the entities from this page. LSIs are just related terms, the words and phrases Google expects to see in a well-written article on this topic. Getting this right tells Google that your content is thorough and relevant. So if you sprinkle LSIs and keywords throughout your content it's basically telling Google, okay, this content is relevant to the topic that you're targeting.
And now you've got a full picture, the structure your competitors have used, the keywords they targeted, the gaps they left, and that's your content outline brief. And you just built it in a couple of minutes, right? Or you automated it with OpenClaw if you asked it to. So stage one, keywords.
Stage two, content brief. Stage three, you're gonna start connecting OpenClaw to your website. Now, be careful with this, right? If it's a website that you really care about, you really love, maybe just get OpenClaw to have draft access only, or don't give it access at all.
But for me, I love to run experiments and I love to see the power of this stuff, so I actually give it access to my main websites, just for fun. So you can connect OpenClaw to your website, and this is the part that makes the whole thing automatic, right? So you can go into your WordPress dashboard, you can generate an API password, you can give the login details of a user for OpenClaw, and then once it has access, it can publish directly to your site. You don't need to copy and paste anything, you don't need to log in a format, you can just prompt it and OpenClaw can post for you.
You also wanna train OpenClaw on what you want, right? And your context, so you can tell it who you are, what your business does, what tone you write in, who your audience is, specific details, even like the pages you wanna funnel traffic to. Then you save that as a note inside OpenClaw, so it remembers it every time, not just the times you do an SEO. And once that's set up, you're ready to create and publish content in one step.
We've run through the top three stages here, so number one is the actual keyword research, number two is coming up with a content outline, number three is automating the posting of content to WordPress and giving it the login details, and then the final stage here is creating the content, right? So you can give OpenClaw a full content prompt. So here's one that I use, I just say create an SEO optimized article for this, plug in my keyword, plug in the content outline with headings, and then I say write as, and I put Julian Goldie or whatever website I'm writing for. Easy to read, conversational, add FAQs, add headers, add sub-headers, keywords in the first line, the last line, et cetera, write it in first person.
A few other tips that I'd recommend are just adding bullet points, having every sentence on a new line so it's easy to scan, and including the keywords, the LSIs, the entities throughout the content and also in the headings. And that's it, OpenClaw can take that information, that context about you, the writing guidelines, write the article and then publish it straight to WordPress. So for example, a freelancer running this for clients could deliver a fully published keyword research article in like under 20 minutes per client, per keyword. And the final stage of this is quality control.
I wouldn't recommend skipping this. This is super important, particularly if you're using AI. We all know AI can hallucinate, right? So don't skip it.
Before any article goes live or right after it publishes, you just run it through a quality control checklist. So check the keywords in the first line, check the headings are logical, make sure it makes sense, make sure it's not done anything crazy, and make sure it reads like a human actually wrote it, not like a robot filling in a template. The content OpenClaw produces pretty strong depending on the API. I typically use Claude as the API on something like this because Claude is the best AI for writing.
So if you really want to humanize it, this is one of the most powerful strategies you can use. And you're the one who knows your audience, right? So a quick read through it takes five minutes, but there's a difference between content that builds trust and content that loses it. Now here's where the real leverage comes in.
So once you've done this once, you can schedule it. So you can tell OpenClaw to run this system once a day, every day, and then it can find a keyword, build an outline from live competitor data, write the article to your specifications and publish it every single day whilst you sleep. Your competitors might be publishing once a week, you're publishing seven times, right? All research backed, all formatted, all live, and that compounds over 90 days into serious organic growth.
So just to recap, step number one, use OpenClaw to find low competition, long tail keywords in your niche. Step number two, type that keyword into Google or get OpenClaw to do that for you. Reverse engineer the top results and pull out the LSIs with OpenClaw. Step number three, connect OpenClaw to WordPress with your API credentials and then train it on your context.
Step number four is you run the full content prompt and let it write and publish directly to your site. And step number five is just a quick quality check before or after publishing. Do this consistently in traffic compounds. And that's the system, that's what's working right now.
