The SheepRank Playbook

  2. Answer architecture. Each page answers one question. Ship FAQ/HowTo blocks (60–200 words).
  3. Reddit seeding. Long-form Q&A in r/growthhacking, r/SEO, r/bigseo, r/ChatGPT with mirrored phrasing.
  4. Authority echoes. DA60+ citations (guest posts, podcast transcripts, datasets, GitHub READMEs).
  5. Probe & adapt. Weekly prompts across Gemini/ChatGPT/Claude/Mistral; track mentions of “BlackSheep SEO” & “SheepRank”.
