AI SEO Specialist Prep: 5 Agent OS Prompts That Build Your Evidence Pack Before You Hire
An AI SEO specialist moves faster when you hand them a ready-made evidence pack, and your Agent OS can build most of that pack before the first call.
Below: a four-step setup, five prompts to paste in, and the moment it makes sense to pass the work to a professional.
Every prompt keeps your agent on drafts and reports; nothing goes live without you.
When the pack is ready, book a free SEO strategy session and take it with you.
Why prepare a pack before you brief anyone
Most of a specialist's first fortnight is spent gathering facts you already hold.
Your crawl rules, your key pages, your business details and your customers' questions are all sitting in your site and inbox.
An agent can collect them in an afternoon, so the specialist starts on judgement rather than admin.
It also tells you quickly whether a specialist is reading the evidence or reciting a pitch.
Quick start: set the agent up in four moves
- Create a project folder called
ai-seo-packin your Agent OS workspace. - Add a rules file that says: read-only on the live site, drafts only, no emails sent, no logins entered.
- Drop in your sitemap URL, your Google Business Profile link and a list of your five most valuable pages.
- Paste the prompts below one at a time, and save each output as its own file in the folder.
Prompt 1: the page inventory
Read the sitemap at [SITEMAP URL]. For every URL, record:
title tag, H1, meta robots tag, canonical URL, word count,
and whether the page answers a clear customer question.
Flag pages with noindex, nosnippet or max-snippet values.
Output a table sorted by the five priority pages first.
Read only. Do not change anything.The snippet flags matter because Google's robots meta tag documentation says nosnippet also stops content being used as direct input for AI Overviews and AI Mode.
Prompt 2: the AI crawler check
Fetch [DOMAIN]/robots.txt. Report the rule that applies to each of:
Googlebot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot,
ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot, ClaudeBot.
For each, say: allowed, blocked or not mentioned.
Separate search bots from training bots in two lists.
Do not edit robots.txt. Suggest changes as a draft only.OpenAI's crawler overview says sites that opt out of OAI-SearchBot won't appear in ChatGPT search answers, and that GPTBot is a separate training setting.
Perplexity says PerplexityBot isn't used to crawl content for foundation models, and Anthropic says blocking Claude-SearchBot may reduce visibility in Claude's search.
Google's crawler docs say Google-Extended has no effect on Google Search inclusion or rankings.
One more check the agent can't do from robots.txt alone: OpenAI says your host or CDN must also allow its published search bot IP addresses.

Prompt 3: the business facts sheet and schema draft
From my About, Contact and footer pages, and my Google Business
Profile at [GBP LINK], extract: business name, address or service
area, phone, opening hours, services and profile URLs.
List every place two sources disagree.
Then draft Organization (or LocalBusiness) JSON-LD using only
facts that appear on the visible page, with sameAs links.
Mark the JSON-LD as DRAFT. Do not publish it.Google's Organization structured data guide recommends sameAs links, and its local business guide covers opening hours and addresses.
Google is also clear that no special schema is needed for its AI features, so the real value here is the list of disagreements.
Prompt 4: a content brief from real questions
Read the files in /questions (sales call notes, enquiry emails,
reviews). Group the questions customers actually ask into topics.
For the top three topics, write a one-page brief:
the question, the existing page that should answer it,
the first-hand proof we hold (photos, case notes, reviews),
and one detail a competitor could not copy.
Do not write the page itself. Brief only.Google's AI optimisation guide asks for non-commodity content with a unique point of view.
It also warns against creating separate pages for every query variation mainly to manipulate results, so ask for three briefs, not thirty.
Prompt 5: outreach list research, draft only
Find 20 relevant sites in [INDUSTRY] and [AREA] that publish
guides, local news or supplier lists. For each: URL, why it is
relevant, a named contact page, and whether it labels sponsored
content. Draft a short, fair intro email for the top five.
Draft only. Do not send anything or fill in any forms.Google's spam policies say paid placements must carry rel="sponsored" or rel="nofollow", so the "labels sponsored content" column is worth keeping.
Safety rules to pin in your agent's instructions
- Never log in to any account, and never enter a password.
- Never publish, send or submit; every output is a file in the project folder.
- Never edit robots.txt, templates or schema on the live site.
- Quote the source page for every fact it extracts.
- Flag anything it's unsure of rather than guessing.
Those five rules keep the pack trustworthy, which is the whole point of handing it to a specialist.
Save the rules file at the top of the project folder so every new session reads it first.
If the agent ever asks for a login or offers to press publish, stop the run and tighten the rules before carrying on.
How to read what the agent hands back
- Inventory: any priority page with a snippet restriction goes straight to the top of the list.
- Crawler report: a blocked search bot is a quick fix; a blocked training bot is a business choice, not an error.
- Facts sheet: every disagreement is a job for you, because only you know which version is true.
- Briefs: if the "proof we hold" line is empty, that topic needs real material before it needs writing.
- Outreach list: treat it as research, and check each site yourself before contact.
What a specialist does with each file
The pack is a head start, not a finished job, so it helps to know where each file goes next.
- Page inventory: the specialist picks which pages to merge, improve or leave alone.
- Crawler report: they check the CDN and firewall as well, and test whether the bots can actually fetch your pages.
- Facts sheet: they align your website, Business Profile and directory listings to one version.
- Schema draft: they validate it and make sure every value matches what visitors can see.
- Briefs: they turn the strongest one into a page plan, often with an interview to capture your expertise.
- Outreach list: they qualify each site, write the pitch properly and handle replies.
Bing's webmaster guidelines say clear entity definition improves grounding and citation accuracy, which is why the facts sheet tends to pay off first.
A run-through for a small business: a mobile dog groomer
- The owner saves the sitemap, the Business Profile link and three priority pages into the folder.
- Prompt 2 reports PerplexityBot as not mentioned and OAI-SearchBot as allowed; nothing urgent.
- Prompt 3 lists two service areas that differ between the website and the profile; the owner picks the right one.
- Prompt 4 turns 40 enquiry emails into briefs on matted coats, nervous dogs and van hygiene.
- The owner takes the pack to a specialist, who starts with the briefs rather than a discovery questionnaire.
When to hand it to a pro
Your Agent OS is excellent at collecting and drafting.
It's weaker at deciding priorities, earning genuine links, and judging which claims are safe on health, money or legal topics.
Hand over when the pack shows technical fixes you can't make, when several pages need rewriting at once, or when you want outreach run properly.
Google's guide to hiring an SEO says no one can guarantee a #1 ranking, so steer clear of anyone who does.

FAQ
Can my Agent OS replace an AI SEO specialist?
It can gather evidence and draft briefs and schema, but priorities, link earning and claim checks still need a person.
Should the agent edit robots.txt for me?
No. Keep it read-only and have it suggest changes as a draft you approve.
Which bots should the crawler check cover?
At least Googlebot, Google-Extended, Bingbot, OAI-SearchBot, GPTBot, PerplexityBot, Claude-SearchBot and ClaudeBot.
Do I need special schema for AI search?
Google says there is no special schema for its AI features. Draft normal Organization or LocalBusiness markup from facts on the page.
