Run a weekly SEO workflow with FARO and Claude Code
The weekly rhythm is evidence, decision, approved change, verification, and owner brief. FARO maintains that record. Claude Code handles supported repository work. The owner keeps publication, public claims, spending, and other binding actions.

Give each week one visible decision
A small team does not need a pile of undifferentiated recommendations. It needs the next supported correction, the evidence behind it, the effort it displaces, and the owner decision still required. FARO keeps lower-priority findings in the queue instead of turning every observation into immediate site work.
| Point in the week | FARO owns | Owner sees |
|---|---|---|
| Opening review | Refresh priority query, page, indexation, local, review, and AI-answer evidence. | Material changes and unreliable or missing inputs. |
| Work decision | Rank one supported correction against the current queue. | The proposed result, reason, limit, and approval needed. |
| Implementation | Direct approved repository work and inspect the returned result. | Pull request, preview, checks, and unresolved uncertainty. |
| Release | Verify the public page after owner publication. | Canonical URL, released change, and public observation. |
| Closing brief | Maintain the correction and measurement record. | Finished work, blocked work, next decision, and later measurement date. |
Keep query evidence separate from site quality
Google’s Performance report reports impressions, clicks, click-through rate, and average position. Its page and query tables use different aggregation rules, and some query rows are omitted for privacy. FARO records the window and surface instead of treating one number as the whole market.
A rendered page check answers a different question: whether the title, H1, canonical, opening answer, links, structured facts, and mobile result match the approved page identity. Passing that check proves the release met its specification. It does not prove Google will rank it.
Move one correction through the Slack thread
Use the FidelicAI Claude hub update as a filled record. The September 11 evidence was an eight-lesson training path that stopped before website readiness and continuing FARO work. The owner approved six additional lesson links. The preview check required every new route and Markdown mirror to respond, and the next Search Console observation is scheduled for September 18, 2026. This internal example does not promise impressions or ranking movement.
FARO posts the evidence brief
The brief contains the query or discovery surface, affected URL, dated observation, business consequence, proposed correction, and reason it outranks the rest of the queue.
Done when: the owner can identify the source, page, decision, and stated limit from one Slack message.
The owner approves or defers the work
Approval covers the proposed result and public meaning. A deferred item retains its evidence and review date rather than disappearing into chat history.
Done when: the queue records approved, deferred, rejected, or blocked with an accountable owner.
FARO directs the supported change
For repository work, FARO uses the site-update method and the checked-request format. Anthropic’s Claude Code in Slack guide defines the current GitHub session and review path. Other work follows its own approved system.
Done when: the returned work product matches the stated route and approval boundary.
FARO closes the release record
After the owner publishes, FARO verifies the public page and assigns a later date for measuring search or answer-system movement.
Done when: the record links the released result, public verification, remaining uncertainty, and next observation date.
Choose ongoing coverage only when the sources need watching
A FARO Day Pass or Sprint can handle a bounded audit or correction plan. A Monthly Retainer fits when priority queries, business facts, local listings, reviews, citations, and the verified work queue need continuing attention. Current rates remain on the role page and FidelicAI rate board.
Do not buy ongoing coverage merely to produce more pages. The useful test is whether new evidence changes what the business should correct, preserve, or stop doing.
Keep public and licensed decisions with the owner
FARO may recommend a correction and decide that the checked repository result is ready for review. The owner approves positioning, claims, releases, listing changes, review responses, spending, and every action that changes the business’s public record.
The weekly record should make unfinished work visible. An inaccessible source, failed check, uncertain claim, or missing approval remains blocked rather than being reported as complete. Review FARO’s published limits before choosing ongoing work.
Continue through the Claude hiring path
Each guide answers a separate part of the same decision. The canonical FidelicAI connector page carries the live server address and current public contract.
