blog-rewrite

What it does

Rewrites and optimizes existing blog posts to improve Google SEO (May 2026 Core Update, E-E-A-T) and AI citation visibility as a single discipline. If auditing for AI-citation-only work, it uses blog-geo instead. It replaces fabricated statistics with sourced data, applies answer-first formatting, adds images, generates SVG charts, and updates freshness signals. It works with MDX, markdown, or HTML blog formats. Use when the user asks to rewrite, optimize, update, improve, or fix a blog.

How it works

1. Audit phase reads the blog post, detects format, and runs a quality checklist against predefined references.
2. Assesss for frontmatter issues, sets lastUpdated only if facts changed, fixes meta description, and ensures cover images and OG images exist or are generated.
3. Apply purpose-first formatting to present key claims with verified evidence.
4. Replace any fabricated statistics with real data from tier 1-3 sources, including provenance details.
5. Improve headings to incorporate keywords naturally and ensure two to three headings contain the target terms.
6. Adjust paragraph lengths and preserve the author’s voice, original insights, and existing images/charts where possible.
7. Add or improve visual elements: embed relevant images and SVG charts, insert video embeds if appropriate, and ensure adaptions for platform format.
8. Add or improve FAQ if warranted and ensure proper markup considerations.
9. Reduce self-promotion to a maximum of one brand mention in author context and convert promotional sections into educational content.
10. Add evidence-backed explanations for important claims, with self-contained sourcing notes.
11. Review for project voice consistency: replace AI phrases, vary sentence length, and insert concise, readable phrasing.
12. If needed, attach markers for original data or unique insights (e.g., [ORIGINAL DATA], [UNIQUE INSIGHT]).
13. Run verification checks across core quality gates and editorial style before finalizing.

Caveats

• Changes depend on availability of sourced data and assets; limitations in citations or image sources should be noted in the audit if present.
• FAQPage is treated as optional, and the tool follows the guideline that Google FAQ rich results were retired as of 2026-05-07.
• The process emphasizes factual accuracy and provenance for all substituted statistics.
