🚀 Programmatic GEO/AEO Content Engine Architecture (AirOps + n8n + CMS)

Production blueprint for building scalable, high-ranking AI content engines that dominate LLM search citations (Perplexity, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT Search).

🏛️ System Architecture

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🌐 AIROPS & PROGRAMMATIC GEO CONTENT TOPOLOGY                                │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 1. KEYWORD & ENTITY RESEARCH (Ahrefs / Perplexity API / SERP API):           │
│    • Ingest target cluster keywords + LLM Search prompt triggers            │
│    • Extract Wikidata / Wikipedia entity URIs for knowledge graph linkage    │
│    • Identify existing Perplexity citation sources to match format          │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 2. AIROPS / n8n MULTI-STAGE GENERATION PIPELINE:                            │
│    • Stage 1 (Outline): Generate H2/H3 semantic structure with 40-word blocks│
│    • Stage 2 (Drafting): Claude 3.5 Sonnet generates inverted pyramid text  │
│    • Stage 3 (Tables & Gain): Auto-format comparisons into HTML <table>     │
│    • Stage 4 (Entity Schema): Auto-generate JSON-LD with author & sameAs   │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 3. HEADLESS CMS & DISTRIBUTION (WordPress / Webflow / Strapi):              │
│    • REST / GraphQL automated publishing with SEO meta & canonical URLs     │
│    • Internal linking graph optimization via vector embeddings (Qdrant)     │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│ 4. LLM CITATION TRACKING & AUDITING:                                        │
│    • Scheduled cron: Query Perplexity / ChatGPT Search for target keywords  │
│    • Check if brand URL appears in citations -> Log to Google Sheets/Slack  │

💻 n8n / AirOps Execution Blueprint (JSON-LD & Inverted Pyramid Injector)

// Sample AirOps / Node Code Step for Schema Generation
export function generateGeoSchema(input: {
  title: string;
  url: string;
  primaryEntity: string;
  entityWikiUrl: string;
  authorName: string;
  authorUrl: string;
}) {
  return {
    "@context": "https://schema.org",
    "@graph": [
      {
        "@type": "TechArticle",
        "headline": input.title,
        "url": input.url,
        "about": {
          "@type": "Thing",
          "name": input.primaryEntity,
          "sameAs": input.entityWikiUrl
        },
        "author": {
          "@type": "Person",
          "name": input.authorName,
          "url": input.authorUrl
        }
      }
    ]
  };
}
