Inside the agency

The workflows behind AY Rank.

Content production.

5 workflows

Content production

Programmatic page generation at scale

500+ indexable city × service pages from one data file. A Claude Agents SDK loop (writer + fact-check + voice) tailors each page so it reads human and dodges the scaled-content-abuse penalty. Ships with schema, hreflang, and OG.

Cadence: Weekly batch
Output: 20–40 indexable pages / week

Content production

Citation-first blog pipeline

Multi-agent draft via Claude Agents SDK + Vercel AI SDK + Browserbase. Every post is researched, fact-checked, voice-matched, schema-tagged, then pre-tested against ChatGPT, Perplexity, and AI Overviews before it ships.

Cadence: 2–4 posts / week

Content production

AI content humanization

Per-brand voice.json fingerprint + deterministic AI-tell detector + Claude chunked rewrite. Strips em dashes, "leverage", hedging language, template-stamped openers. Drafts pass both editor review and AI detectors without losing speed.

Content production

On-brand image generation at scale

Locked brand prompt → Nano Banana 2 generation → vision-verify QA → alt-text + ImageObject JSON-LD → CDN push. Every page ships with on-brand 4K visuals that LLM crawlers can actually read.

Content production

Localisation pipeline (EN → FR / DE / AR / ES / PT / JA)

Flat key extraction → translation → in-context preview → ship. Brand literals (ChatGPT, AY Rank, GEO) stay Latin in every locale, hreflang and canonical generated automatically.
