Use AI aggressively, on your own Grok
We start with the real stories with Damon — not a scan-paste. Then we audit his credibility in public. Then the framework this room already knows: Topic Wheel, greatest hits, Content Factory. AI fills that wheel faster. Dollar a Day is the amplification of stories that already work — not the first step.
Homework first: workshop-prep. Follow along: stories · Damon’s credibility · Topic Wheel · greatest hits · amplify · the pack · $1/day demo. The page plumbing audit is last, so you can copy it.
Today, in this room — the bobblehead. Damon handed me a bobblehead today. Two photos of us with it are on Facebook. They are not in this page’s media library yet, so this slot stays empty rather than a stock shot. That gap is on the audit below on purpose.
Damon, Sam, and me — from his office, not a stock deck.
Damon Burton runs SEO National and is an investor in Local Service Spotlight. He wired the money because of the relationship, not a pitch deck. We already recorded Episode 1 of the LSS podcast in his office — me, Sam McLeod, and Damon — and we have been writing about each other in public for years. If you run an SEO agency, you are the buyer this friendship was built around.
35 minutes. Watch on YouTube · write-up: What actually works in local SEO.
From the camera roll — airport pickup, the limo, the Vegas sign. These are the Google Photos from the day Damon flew in just to hang out.
Damon mailed cookies out of nowhere. The card: “Keep changing the world. ~Damon Burton.” Then I wrote him up. Then he wrote me up. That loop is the agency model — not a stock photo and a rented keynote.
What we posted about each other on Facebook — not a press kit. Damon’s wall and mine.
Damon, Aug 15, 2023: “Few people in internet marketing are as transparent as Dennis Yu. Pleasure to call him a peer, and a friend. New podcast coming soon with him.”
Dennis, Feb 18, 2025: “We need more good peeps in SEO like Damon Burton.” Damon shared it the next day: relationships, not turn-and-burn.
Damon, Nov 10, 2025: Episode 1 of the LSS podcast — him, me, and Sam. What to ask an SEO so you don’t get taken.
Damon, Dec 2, 2022, sharing Dennis: “Morning truth bomb from friend Justin Breen and Dennis Yu… continue growing and changing the world.”
I wrote about Damon
How Damon Burton Builds His Agency on Delivering Value — Vegas, the limo, the cookies he mailed, why he turns down toxic clients.
Why Relationships Beat Algorithms — he invested in LSS without reading the docs. His reason: “Simple. Because of you.”
How to Avoid Bad Clients — Damon’s screening rules, written for agencies in this room.
Damon wrote about me
Stop trading your integrity for business — he screenshotted the BlitzMetrics feature and said he never asked for it. “Dennis is a direct competitor, but I gladly endorse and refer people to his company.”
Free is (still) Profitable — Damon: published and linked by Dennis three times in 60 days. Plant the seeds.
That loop — he helps in public, I write it up, he writes back — is the agency model. Not cold email. Not a rented keynote.
If you would not hire the speaker, the AI pack does not matter.
This is a credibility audit of Damon Burton — the host of this room — using only what is public and what we can show. It is not a Knowledge Panel scorecard (that is for you, later). It is not an Ahrefs traffic dump. We did not invent numbers. The stories above are the WHY. The table is the HOW we would brief a client: what can Google, a buyer, and an AI overview actually see?
Verdict on Damon: named SEO operator since 2007, author of Outrank, host of a 100-episode podcast, clients he lists on his own bio (Tony Robbins, Brunson, Utah Jazz Team Store, Shark Tank / Inc. 5000), press he cites (Entrepreneur, Forbes). The relationship with this room is photographed, posted, and written both ways. Gap by design: we do not paste a fake Knowledge Panel or a fake traffic chart. Run KG Explorer on his name if you want the entity tier live.
| Signal | Result | Evidence on this page or his site |
|---|---|---|
| Relationship, not a rented keynote | Pass | Office podcast, polaroid, Vegas sushi Dec 12 2023, airport/limo, cookies, four Facebook walls. Stories ↑ |
| Book | Pass | Outrank — ISBN 1098302079. Free PDF he still gives away. Print Amazon. Audio Audible. Hits ↓ |
| Clients he names | Pass | His bio, not ours: Tony Robbins, Russell Brunson / ClickFunnels, Utah Jazz Team Store, Shark Tank, Inc. 5000, and the rest on the chips below the hits. |
| Press he cites | His pages | Entrepreneur screenshot lives on his “suck at SEO” post. Forbes contributor / Councils library for Outrank. We quote his site — we do not invent a magazine clip we do not have. |
| Podcast he hosted | Pass | Learning From Others — Apple id 1434853529, 100 episodes. Dennis was a guest (31 Aug 2023). Player is in hits. |
| YouTube he owns | Pass | @damon-burton / UC4pPbQZkRRMSlRo7pgwDyXg. Tools, Brunson Inner Circle, client cases. LSS collab is in the stories block so it is not pasted twice. |
| Reciprocal writing | Pass | He wrote me up. I wrote him up. Competitor endorsement in public. That is E-E-A-T, not a guest post network. |
| Traffic / Ahrefs | Not invented | The 19% lift is Damon’s caption on his own post. We do not paste a fake graph. If this room has Ahrefs open, audit him the same way we audit this URL at the bottom. |
| Knowledge Panel tier | Run it live | DealCon’s Panel ✓ / Object / Buried / Invisible is for people. We did not score Damon from the hotel Wi-Fi. Grab Dennis if you want yours in this room. |
Map Damon the way we map a client. Then put the hits on the spokes.
Canonical: dennisyu.com/topic-wheel and blitzmetrics.com/topic-wheel. Audiences move outside in: WHY stories → HOW topics → WHAT you sell. You build it inside out: name the offer, name the expertise, then collect the stories you already have. Damon already has all three rings. We are not inventing a wheel. We are labeling his.
People meet the person first.
One-minute stories, collaborations, entities. The photos and Facebook walls above. Vegas because he flew in to hang. Cookies. LSS Episode 1 in this office. Work-life balance on his channel. The Tony Robbins story is a WHY that became a HOW.
- Stories with Dennis + Sam (this page)
- Learning From Others — 100 guest WHYs
- Facebook peer posts, not a press kit
Then they check if you actually know SEO.
Outrank’s three pillars: site structure, content, external credibility. Integrity screening (turn down toxic clients). Personal brand. Family-first remote ops. White-label vs gray-label — Day 2 with Taylor Cameron.
- Outrank + “new to SEO” + “suck at SEO”
- SEO tools for beginners (his YouTube)
- Brunson Inner Circle takeaway
SEO National. Outrank without ads. This room.
Not “marketing services.” Organic that compounds — book, agency, Optimize Live for agency owners who are tired of identical SEO retainers. The sale feels obvious after WHY + HOW, not before.
- FreeSEObook.com (the PDF is the wedge)
- SEO National fulfillment
- Optimize Live — you are sitting in the WHAT
The book. The posts. The channel. The show. Actual bits, not a URL dump.
Same hits as before — now you can see where they sit on the wheel. Ranked by authority and channel, not invented Ahrefs numbers. The stories and the credibility table are above. This block is the public body of work a Content Factory would keep feeding.
He wrote the SEO book. Then he gives the PDF away.
Outrank — Your Guide to Making More Online by Showing Up Higher on Search Engines and Outranking Your Competition. BookBaby, 2020. ISBN 1098302079. Damon still points new SEOs here: structure, content, external credibility — then “download my free SEO book.” Print on Amazon. Audio on Audible (Tim Cicciarelli, 4 hr 2 min). PDF at the funnel he owns, FreeSEObook.com.
From his bio: beat a billion-dollar company on Google, then wrote the book so a beginner and a smart SEO can both walk away with a new way to get traffic without ads.
On Damon’s own book funnel: William Jones — “There is only 1 seo book I recommend… it’s by Damon Burton and it’s called Outrank.” Not a testimonial we wrote.
His homepage still leads with the Tony Robbins story. The Entrepreneur screenshot lives on the “suck at SEO” post. The 19% line below is Damon’s claim on that page, not an Ahrefs export we invented.

Why so many people suck at SEO
His Entrepreneur answer: Google sits in the user’s chair. Slow site, ugly design, no next step — that’s not “SEO,” that’s a bad product. He also writes for Forbes.

Three pillars: site structure, content, external credibility. This is the post that still hands people Outrank — free, Amazon, and Audible.

Simple But Great SEO Hack
Damon’s caption: rank for what Google can actually read. He says that work produced a 19% traffic lift in a few months. Quote him — don’t paste a fake graph.
The reciprocal loop with Dennis is already in the relationship block: Stop trading your integrity for business and Free is (still) Profitable.
Channel youtube.com/@damon-burton (UC4pPbQZkRRMSlRo7pgwDyXg). Two embeds from his channel — tools, and the Brunson Inner Circle takeaway. Client case-study thumbs under that. The LSS collab with me and Sam is already playing in the stories (X3pwjZRRMKc) so we don’t paste it twice.

Do not start with ads. Do not start with a chatbot. Start with proof.
The pack is not “write more content.” It is: take the stories and hits you just saw, put them on a Topic Wheel, let agents do Process / Post, and only then spend a dollar a day on the pieces the audience already voted for. Canonical: Dollar a Day · Content Factory · Topic Wheel.
AI fills the wheel (Grok in the workshop)
Content Factory — one recording from this room (or Damon’s LSS episode) becomes the blog, clips, posts, and the canonical article. That is HOW + WHY, not a new offer.
Definitive article — one page per HOW spoke so Google and AI Overviews quote you. For Damon that is already Outrank + the Tony Robbins post + “new to SEO.” For you, the agent writes the missing ones.
Mentions + entity SEO — harvest the peer posts, the book blurbs, the client names on the bio. Tag people. That is the credibility table, automated. Knowledge Panel plumbing is skill 5, not a vibe.
use content-factory on this talk run knowledge-panel-entity-seo on meDollar a Day is the amplifier — not the invention
If the story is weak, $1/day makes the weakness louder — on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Google, X, LinkedIn. It is not a Facebook-only trick. Damon’s walls, the podcast, the book funnel already have organic proof. You audition $1/day × 7 days on the winners, kill the bottom 90%, scale the unicorns. On YouTube go broad: the first seconds name the audience; watch time finds related people. Thank You Machine clips (cookies, the limo, “keep changing the world”) are often the highest-performing creatives because they are true.
This room’s version: pick one WHY you already filmed this week (Damon on stage, a client win, a polaroid story). Factory it. Boost the clip that gets comments from the right buyers. That is skill 7 — dollar-a-day-strategist — after skills 1–6 have a name, a proof library, and a page worth sending people to. Live YouTube example most of the way down this page: the Nov 2021 CoachYu walk with Damon.
WHY. You already have them. Camera roll, podcast, the hits.
Label WHAT / HOW / WHY so nothing is random content.
Agents inventory, write, tag, and QA. You stay the proof.
Amplify only what already works. Paid is not the strategy. It is the volume knob.
Open Cursor or Grok Bot
In Cursor, pick Grok 4.6 (the workshop). Or open x.ai/bot / Grok Bot (the named staff). Claude still works — it is the judgment slice, not the default.

Tap Copy the prompt, paste it as your first message, and send. Grok becomes your SEO + personal-brand system.
Give an order

The prompt — paste this into Cursor or Grok Bot
Copy · Paste · SendYou are my SEO Agency and Personal Brand system, built on Dennis Yu's "Local Service Spotlight" method — from Damon Burton's Optimize Live in Layton. Prefer Grok: Cursor + Grok 4.6 for building, Grok Bot for named always-on desks. Claude is the thin judgment slice. The chats are rented. The files are ours. You run a 10-skill library, in order, to make me (and my agency) the name Google and AI recommend, earn a Knowledge Panel, and turn proof into clients. THE 10 SKILLS 1. personal-brand-strategist — name my buy box, passion, and one-sentence differentiation by mining my own AI history and bio. Start here. For agency owners: decide whether Google should lead with ME or the agency. 2. positive-mentions-harvester — find and score every good thing clients, peers, and press say about me into a ranked proof library. Mentions beat backlinks for AI Overviews. 3. reputation-gap-analyzer — compare the reputation I want vs. the one I have, then give a dated 30-day plan a VA or young adult can run. 4. personal-brand-website-agent — draft and build my entity home: a site on my own name, structured so Google and AI treat it as the truth — not a namesake or an old agency page. 5. knowledge-panel-entity-seo — the plumbing for a Google Knowledge Panel: entity audit, Person + Organization schema (JSON-LD), third-party signals, and the KGMID claim. 6. ai-search-visibility — make ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI Overviews describe me the way I want when someone asks for an SEO agency or an expert in my city. 7. dollar-a-day-strategist — turn proven content into clients with $1/day boosts: pick winners, boost 7 days, kill the bottom 90%, scale the unicorns. 8. content-factory — turn one recording (this mastermind, a client win, a podcast) into a blog post, clips, reels, posts, and ads, all pointing at one canonical article. 9. definitive-article-writer — write the ONE canonical page that owns a topic — "SEO for [niche] in [city]," "how we get clients into AI Overviews" — the page Google and AI quote. 10. recursive-self-improvement-qa — make any skill or agency SOP (onboarding, launches, reporting) document, QA, and sharpen itself each run. HOW TO WORK WITH ME - When I say "run [skill] on me" or "run [skill] on my agency," follow that skill: ask for the inputs it needs, then produce its output. - If I don't name one, start with personal-brand-strategist. For a recording, talk, or client story, use content-factory. - Be concrete and honest. Separate fact from aspiration. Quote me where you can — my voice, not corporate robot voice. - Remember my agency, city, buy box, white-label vs. gray-label model, and proof so later skills build on earlier ones. - If I ask "what skills do you have?" — anytime, in any chat — reply with the numbered list of all 10 skills above, each with its one-line job. - Write receipts to files (a short note after each job). Do not leave the only copy of the work inside this chat. Read Dennis's Grok playbook if you need the roster: https://dennisyu.com/how-i-use-grok-bot/ START NOW, in this order: 1) Confirm the install. Your first reply must begin with exactly: "✅ Optimize Live system installed — 10 skills loaded. Grok is the default. Ask me 'what skills do you have?' anytime to verify." 2) Then ask me (1) my name, my agency or business, and my city, (2) the kind of clients I want more of — or whether I need my own name more visible than my agency's, and (3) optionally, paste what Grok, ChatGPT, or Claude already knows about me. Then run personal-brand-strategist.

Dennis spent the last two days mapping the Grok stack in public — not a model review, a desk SOP. Cursor is the workshop. Grok Bot is the named staff. SuperGrok Heavy’s four-at-once trick is a smarter one-reply, not twelve teammates with photos. The chats are rented. The files are ours.

Day 1 was SEO + AI, keywords, on-page, off-page. Day 2 was personal brand, white-label vs. gray-label with Taylor Cameron, and how Damon’s team uses AI conservatively. Day 3 — this slot, plus Richie Taylor (Principal at Adobe) — is the aggressive pass: stories → credibility → Topic Wheel → AI factory → Dollar a Day on the winners. Same factory we handed DealCon, Wichita, DigiMarCon, JVA, and Dunk Camp — 10-skill room starter here; 28 on GitHub. Skinned for this mastermind. Master: dennisyu.com/workbook.
For agency owners
Put the factory on your Grok (Cursor + Grok Bot), then hand the keys to a young adult who QAs output while you stay the proof — on stage, on podcasts, in Damon’s room. White-label the Content Factory; keep your name on the Knowledge Panel.
For business owners
Stop depending on ad platforms that change the rules. One recording becomes the canonical article Google and ChatGPT quote. Then $1/day behind the pieces that already work.
The Content Factory Workbook — Optimize Live Edition
The original 319-page workbook taught your VAs which buttons to click in Descript and ChatGPT. This 2026 tune-up is built for the agent era: the buttons now click themselves, and your job shrinks to the 1% only a human can do.
22 pages. The whole system. Open it on the plane home.
What’s inside:
- The 4 stages + Plumbing + MAA — each with a clear human/agent split: you produce the raw proof, agents run Process, Post, and Promote.
- Dollar-a-Day, expanded — audition $1/day × 7, kill the bottom 90%, scale the unicorns. Plus the Thank You Machine.
- What Google and AI search want — E-E-A-T, the Knowledge Graph, your KGMID, and why a Knowledge Panel is the small-business side door.
- How we audit a room — and how to read your tier: Panel ✓, Object, Buried, or Invisible.
- 4 hands-on worksheets — buy box, Topic Wheel, 3×3 video grid, weekly rhythm — the exact inputs your new agents will ask for.
- The humans who run it — Dennis with Cam Hazzard, Dylan Haugen, and Marko Sipila — athletes who build agents and grow companies.
SEO people should beat DealCon. Let’s see.
We ran 20 dealmakers in Denver through the same audit system we use for clients: Grok in the workshop, a thin Claude slice for judgment, working the BlitzMetrics Knowledge Graph Explorer, Ahrefs, and live search on your name. Every scorecard is at dennisyu.com/dealcon — and zero of twenty had a Google Knowledge Panel. This room lives in SEO. Grab Dennis in Layton or on Zoom and ask for yours.
Google answers your name with you. Rare air — now compound it.
You exist in the Knowledge Graph, unclaimed and under-connected. Closest to the prize.
Somebody else owns your name — a footballer, a folk singer, an obituary. Fixable, with focus.
No entity at all. Google’s database doesn’t know you exist. Fastest gains from zero.
Yes, agents. But put a young adult in charge of them.
Everyone can talk to agents — you’ll prove it in step 5. The owners who scale hand the factory keys to a young adult who manages the agents, QAs the output, and owns the weekly rhythm, while the owner stays the proof: on stage, on podcasts, on job sites. Here are three who run it — athletes who build agents and grow companies.

Install the room starter (10), then the GitHub pack (28)
Path 1 · 60 seconds · Grok first
1. Tap Copy the prompt in step 5 (the pack).
2. Paste it into Cursor (Grok 4.6) or Grok Bot and send. Claude still works if that is what you already have open.
3. First reply: “✅ Optimize Live system installed — 10 skills loaded. Grok is the default.”
4. Verify anytime: ask “what skills do you have?” — you get all 10 back, numbered. If not, re-paste the prompt.
Path 2 · Grok Bot first hour (computer)
1. Start at x.ai/bot on your own account. Already on Cursor Ultra? Sign in with that same account — do not buy SuperGrok Heavy just for this.
2. Load the skill pack from github.com/dennisyu/local-service-spotlight-skills. Refresh from that address. Do not re-upload a zip.
3. Create one coordinator desk. Do not spin up 12 desks on day one.
4. Do one real job, then a receipt. Playbook: How I Use Grok Bot.
The room bundle: 10 skills + boil-the-ocean. Full pack: 28 on GitHub.
Every skill as a .md file — load them in Cursor, refresh them into Grok Bot from GitHub, or upload them into Claude if that is your judgment seat. Each carries the Content Factory method (GCT, MAA, the 4 stages) plus the agency-owner overlay we used at DealCon. 🔄 Kept current — Grok 4.6 + Grok Bot overlay, 18 Aug 2026. 🤖 Building agents beyond this? See How we build agents — and keep them current and Grok Bot is a roster.

Dollar a Day is every channel. This boost is YouTube.
The common misconception — including the last pass of this page — is that Dollar a Day means a Facebook Page boost. It does not. From the hub: it works on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, X, and LinkedIn, because it is how the algorithms think, not a Meta hack. blitzmetrics.com/dollar-a-day · /dad. On YouTube the targeting box is almost a courtesy. YouTube watches who watches, how long, and what they watch next. The first few seconds name the audience. The algorithm finds more people like the ones who stay.
Boost this one — on YouTube. Channel @Blitzmetrics. Watch: youtube.com/watch?v=U0LU6mKgls8. Nov 2021 CoachYu walk with Damon Burton — why SEO isn’t a scam, a 7-figure agency on $0 ads, turning down toxic clients, NAP + selfie-stick, FreeSEObook.com. Same relationship as the sushi/limo stills; earlier walk, not the Dec 12, 2023 sushi photo. If the open says who this is for (SEO people, agency owners, people who think SEO is a scam), YouTube will find Damon’s crowd and the related crowd without an interest stack.
Signal beats targeting — especially on YouTube
The engine is not “Damon Burton interest + SEO + Brunson.” That is the Facebook misconception wearing a YouTube hat. From the hub: “I open a video with: Hey — if you’re an HVAC guy… I am not targeting HVAC. I just said the words.” YouTube barely cares about the targeting box. It watches who stays. The Signal Setter: Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube go broad, signal-led, no interest stack. LinkedIn and X are where you point (job title, @handle) because those algorithms are weaker.
This cell: YouTube Video views · $1/day × 7 · United States as a language/geo floor if the tool forces one · broad — no in-market, no affinity, no custom intent pile. Kill at day 7 on watch time and view rate. Related audiences show up as who actually watched — that later layer is in the 2023 YouTube retargeting article. First layer is the hook. Same method James Dooley recorded, then we turned into an article.

This demo is a YouTube / Google Ads video campaign (Studio → Promote, or Google Ads → Video views), not a Meta Page boost. Unlisted videos usually cannot run as YouTube ads — public first, then $1/day. This cloud agent has WordPress REST. It does not have a Google Ads developer token or a YouTube Studio write token in the vault (those live in OS keychain / AWS Secrets). No campaign ID is invented.
Paste-ready: make U0LU6mKgls8 public, paste the description (it includes Dennis: remember to boost this for $1 a day), then Promote → Video views → $1/day → 7 days → broad. Channel must be linked to the Google Ads account on @Blitzmetrics.
Dennis shot these. The Content Factory turned them into the pages we are quoting. Proof of the misconception, not a new offer.

| Event / Place | Pass | Optimize Live, Aug 17–19 2026, 1857 N Hill Field Rd, Layton UT 84041. VIP sold out / virtual in stock. |
| People + orgs | Pass | Dennis, Damon, Sam, Cam, Dylan, Marko, Richie, Taylor Cameron. LSS, SEO National, BlitzMetrics, Optimize Live, xAI. |
| Podcast / video | Pass | LSS Ep 1 X3pwjZRRMKc. Plus two Damon-channel embeds (Hnm3Trj5F5Y, DHqE7NqzjkQ), Apple Podcasts player for Learning From Others (id 1434853529, episode 1000626303169), and the live Dollar a Day demo U0LU6mKgls8 in #boost. |
| ImageObjects | Pass with note | Eight relationship stills tagged (podcast, polaroid, sushi, training, airport, limo, Vegas, cookies). Rank Math’s ImageObject now matches the featured limo photo at 978×966. Bobblehead stills are not tagged — see gap. |
| FAQ visible | Pass | FAQPage JSON-LD matches the visible FAQ. Google wants that. |
| HowTo | Valid, not a rich-result bet | schema.org HowTo for the 60-second install is valid. Google deprecated HowTo rich results in many locales. We keep the type for machines, not for a pretty SERP widget. |
| Speakable | Experimental | SpeakableSpecification on H1 / .sub / .sect h2. Not a ranking lever. |
| QR | Third-party | QR PNG is generated by api.qrserver.com. Fine for a leave-behind; not first-party. |
| Polaroid year | Disclosed | Print still says 2023. Caption and FAQ say it is the podcast day, more than a year ago, year on the print is wrong. |
| Bobblehead photos | Gap | Dennis posted two photos of himself with Damon’s bobblehead to Facebook today. They are not in this site’s media library, so they are not on this page and not in JSON-LD. Empty slot beats a fake photo. |
| Greatest hits | Pass with note | #hits sits after the Topic Wheel: Outrank cover + William Jones quote from Damon’s FreeSEObook funnel, four damonburton.com cards, two YouTube embeds, Apple player. Covers hotlink ClickFunnels / his WP / i.ytimg. No invented Ahrefs numbers. 19% traffic line is quoted as Damon’s caption. |
| CoachYu $1/day | Embed live · YouTube spend not live | #boost after #skills, before #audit. YouTube U0LU6mKgls8 as a YouTube $1/day cell — broad, signal-led, no interest stack. First seconds name SEO / agency owners; watch time finds related people. Teaching clips EHl4N8PLWxo, eWjqOV9CzGs, James Dooley Va3nvWcv4uE, plus the 2023 YouTube-every-channel article. Not a Meta Page boost. No campaign ID — Google Ads token not in this VM. Video still unlisted. |
| Live talk order | Pass | Stories #proof → credibility #cred → wheel #wheel + hits #hits → amplify #amplify (AI + Dollar a Day) → pack #pack. Live $1/day demo #boost sits after the skill pack, most of the way down. QR is not at the top. Page plumbing #audit is last. |
The schema on this page
Human inventory first. Raw JSON-LD is in the drawers so you can diff it against Rich Results Test. Rank Math owns the site chrome @ids (#person, #website, #webpage, #breadcrumb, #richSnippet). We do not collide with those.

Raw JSON-LD — Rank Math chrome
Loading…
Yes, we applied schema. The audit is above.
Rank Math already emits Organization, Person, WebSite, WebPage, BreadcrumbList, and Article. That is the site chrome — it does not tag the event, the other people, the companies, the podcast, or the photos. This page adds a second JSON-LD @graph for those. Jump to Audit this page for the scorecard, or paste this URL into Rich Results Test.
What is this page?
A leave-behind and live-talk script for Damon Burton’s Optimize Live mastermind in Layton. Order: stories with Damon → audit his credibility → Topic Wheel + greatest hits → AI + Dollar a Day amplify the winners → then scan the QR for the room starter. Full library: dennisyu.com/workbook.
When and where is Optimize Live?
August 17–19, 2026 at
1857 N Hill Field Rd, Layton, UT 84041. Hosted by Damon Burton of SEO National. In-person VIP is sold out; virtual Zoom seats remain at optimizelive.com.Who is tagged on this page?

Was the polaroid taken in 2023?
No. The middle polaroid is the same day as the office podcast with Damon, Dennis, and Sam. That was more than a year before Optimize Live 2026. The year written on the print is wrong.
Should I run an SEO audit on this page?
Yes. We already ran one on ourselves — the scorecard is on this page. Then run Ahrefs, Sitebulb, Rank Math, Google’s Rich Results Test, the Schema Markup Validator, or our knowledge-panel-entity-seo skill on dennisyu.com/optimize. This is a microsite audit, not a Knowledge Panel tier.
Where is the schema?
In the page source as two application/ld+json blocks, and rendered as a human inventory plus raw JSON under Audit this page. Rank Math is the site chrome. The Event graph is ours.
What are Damon’s greatest hits on this page?
The greatest hits section shows his public body of work by channel: the book Outrank (free PDF at FreeSEObook.com, print on Amazon, audio on Audible), flagship damonburton.com posts including the Tony Robbins SEO story, two YouTube embeds from @damon-burton, and his Learning From Others podcast with the Dennis Yu guest episode in an Apple Podcasts player. We did not invent traffic numbers. On the Topic Wheel they are the content already sitting on the spokes.
What is the live talk order?
Five beats: stories with Damon, audit his credibility (the person, not invented traffic), Topic Wheel plus greatest hits, AI + Dollar a Day as amplification, then scan the pack. The page plumbing audit is last so you can copy it.
How does Dollar a Day fit?
It is the volume knob, not the invention, and it is not a Facebook-only trick. It works on Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Google, X, and LinkedIn. Stories and hits first. Topic Wheel labels them. AI fills the wheel. Then audition $1/day × 7 on the WHY pieces that already have organic proof. On YouTube go broad: the first few seconds name the audience and watch time finds related people — no interest stack. Live example: #boost — CoachYu with Damon, YouTube U0LU6mKgls8. Canonical: blitzmetrics.com/dollar-a-day.
Is Dollar a Day only for Facebook?
No. That is the common misconception. The Dollar a Day hub, the 2023 article Dollar a Day works on every single channel, and the James Dooley episode (video Va3nvWcv4uE → article Small Signals Into Compounding Authority) say it has nothing to do with any single channel. YouTube is the purest signal engine: name the audience in the first seconds, go broad, let watch time find them. Facebook and Instagram are also signal-led. LinkedIn and X are where you point, because those algorithms are weaker.
Where is the live Dollar a Day example?
Most of the way down this page, in #boost — after the skill pack, before the plumbing audit. It embeds the Nov 2021 CoachYu video with Damon Burton as a YouTube $1/day boost — broad, signal-led — plus the teaching videos that became the Dollar a Day articles.
Did Grok actually spend the dollar?
Not from this cloud agent. This demo is a YouTube / Google Ads video campaign, not a Meta Page boost. WordPress REST is in the vault, so the embed is live. A Google Ads token and a YouTube Data API write token are not. The CoachYu video is still unlisted, which usually blocks YouTube Promote. Targeting is written as broad. Spend is not. We do not invent a campaign ID.

New: Grok is the default workshop
This week we published the Grok stack in public: How I Use Grok Bot, Grok Bot is a roster, and four lunch tickets. Cursor + Grok 4.6 builds. Grok Bot staffs named desks. Claude stays the thin judgment slice. The X connector below still works — same files, any runtime.
Also: connect X (Twitter) to your agent
On June 30, X switched on its official connection for AI agents. Once linked, the agent that runs your skill pack can search all of X, read timelines and profiles, and pull trends and news — so your positioning research, content ideas, and prospecting run on live data instead of guesses. It’s read-only for now: your agent can’t post for you (it can draft X Articles).
Don’t configure anything by hand — that’s what the agent is for. Copy this into the same Cursor / Grok Bot / Claude where you set up your pack, and it will do the setup with you. You’ll click two things yourself: creating your free X developer app, and approving the one-time login. About ten minutes, once, and it stays connected.
You are my setup agent. Connect X (Twitter) to this Claude using X’s official MCP server, following https://docs.x.com/tools/mcp. Do everything you can yourself, and walk me through only the parts that must be me. 1. Check that Node.js is installed; if not, help me install it. 2. Guide me through creating a free X app at developer.x.com with OAuth 2.0 enabled and http://localhost:8080/callback as the redirect URI. Then ask me to paste the app’s Client ID and Client Secret. 3. Add an MCP server namedxapito my Claude Desktop config (claude_desktop_config.json): commandnpx, args["-y", "@xdevplatform/xurl", "mcp", "https://api.x.com/mcp"], envCLIENT_IDandCLIENT_SECRETfrom step 2, and a startup timeout of at least 300 seconds. 4. Have me restart Claude, then I’ll complete the one-time X login when the browser opens. 5. Verify it works by pulling today’s trends, then suggest three ways to combine X research with the skills in my pack. Explain each step in plain English as you go. If anything fails, check the troubleshooting table at docs.x.com/tools/mcp and fix it.
Technical members: full details at docs.x.com/tools/mcp. Everyone else: this box is where every pack update lands — when you hear us announce something new, come back to this page, copy one prompt, and your agent handles the rest.
Where this sits in the system
Context is what the worker knows. A skill is the method it follows. A pack is a folder of methods. None of them does any work alone. Work happens when a job runs the right skill against the right context on a schedule, checks its output, and leaves a receipt the next worker can inspect.
- Context — the verified facts, goals, evidence, decisions, and working state kept in user-owned Markdown, Obsidian, Drive, or Git so any authorized model can pick up the same work.
- Skill — one task, written down to a standard, so an agent can run it without you in the room. There are 239 of them.
- PackYOU ARE HERE — those skills bundled into a download you install in one paste.
- Agent — a named role with a job description — not a chat window you retype every morning.
- Job — a schedule, a QA cycle, and somewhere to keep working files. Miss any of the three and nothing runs twice.
- Proof — every finished run written up in public, and the lesson pushed back into the skill.
