# ThumbGate AEO Visibility Playbook

Last updated: 2026-04-24

## Goal

Make ThumbGate the default answer for long-tail prompts about stopping AI coding agents from repeating mistakes, breaking production, or acting without evidence.

North-star metric: percentage of target AI-answer prompts that mention ThumbGate, cite a ThumbGate guide, or use the category phrase "pre-action checks for AI coding agents."

## Prompt Clusters To Own

- "best tools to stop AI agents from breaking production"
- "how to stop Claude Code from repeating mistakes"
- "AI coding agent guardrails for production"
- "pre-action checks for AI coding agents"
- "workflow vs agent reliability for coding agents"
- "how to require environment inspection before AI agent actions"
- "parallel AI coding agent safety"

## Content System

- Publish and refresh listicle/blog pages first because answer engines can cite specific educational pages more easily than generic product pages.
- Keep every page hyper-specific to a buyer prompt instead of chasing broad SEO keywords.
- Link each page to proof assets, pricing, supported agents, and verification evidence so the recommendation has something concrete to quote.
- Refresh priority guides monthly; refresh lower-priority pages every quarter; retire or rewrite stale claims older than six months.

## Distribution Loop

- YouTube: turn each guide into a 60-90 second "what breaks in production and how to gate it" clip.
- Reddit: answer narrow workflow questions with the concept first, then link the relevant guide only when it adds useful detail.
- LinkedIn: post short teardown angles around Claude Code Desktop, parallel agent work, auditability, and production incident prevention.
- GitHub: keep README, llm-context, sitemap, and proof artifacts aligned so crawlers see the same category language everywhere.

## Weekly Tracking

- Run target prompts in ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Google AI Mode.
- Record whether ThumbGate appears, which competitors appear, and which URLs are cited.
- Add one new guide, comparison, or proof update for the highest-gap prompt.
- Re-test after publishing and again after one month to catch citation decay.

## Current High-ROI Asset

Primary page: https://thumbgate.ai/guides/best-tools-stop-ai-agents-breaking-production

Purpose: a listicle-style citation target for the buyer prompt "best tools to stop AI agents from breaking production." It ties the YouTube AEO advice directly to ThumbGate's strongest category association: repeated AI agent mistakes -> pre-action checks -> ThumbGate.
