# Usage Guide

> How to use Relixir week-to-week after completing onboarding

This guide explains **how to actually use Relixir week to week** after you've finished the initial onboarding checklist.

<Info>
  If you haven't completed onboarding yet, start with the in-app checklist and these articles:

  * [Connect Analytics](/onboarding/connect-analytics)
  * [Brand Guidelines](/onboarding/brand-guidelines)
  * [Agent Setup](/onboarding/agent-setup)
  * [Content Review](/onboarding/content-review)
  * [Visitor ID](/onboarding/visitor-id)

## 1. What Relixir Does

Relixir is a **GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) platform** that helps you:

1. **See how AI search engines + Google see you** — Execute buyer prompts across ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, etc. and track rankings, mentions, citations, sentiment, and traffic.

2. **Find gaps and opportunities** — Spot high-intent prompts/keywords where your competitors are winning and your visibility is low.

3. **Generate and refresh GEO-optimized content** — Deep-research agents propose topics, draft blogs, and suggest refreshes tied to specific keywords or competitors.

4. **Publish at scale with one-click CMS deployment** — Integrations with Framer, Webflow, WordPress, Contentful, or a hosted blog page let you deploy content directly from Relixir.

5. **Tie it to outcomes** — Track traffic, visibility increase, AI citations, and (optionally) inbound leads from Relixir content. Visitor ID de-anonymizes visitors and attributes AI-driven traffic and demos back to Relixir-generated content.

At a high level, Relixir runs this loop:

```
AI Search Report → Discover Opportunities → Create Content → Publish → Track Impact → Refresh
```

## 2. Before You Start Recurring Usage

This guide assumes you've already done the initial setup. Before relying on the weekly flow, you should have:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Analytics Connected">
    Search Console + Google Analytics (recommended) to track traffic + Visitor ID snippet if you care about lead-level attribution (recommended)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Brand Guidelines & Knowledge Base Configured">
    Company info (description, ICPs, differentiators), source and competitor rules (if any), brand voices / style rules (if any)
  </Step>

  <Step title="At Least 1–3 Agents Created">
    Agents focused on keywords or competitors you want to improve visibility for
  </Step>

  <Step title="CMS Wired">
    Either via direct CMS integration or a manual flow (exporting Markdown/HTML and pasting into your CMS)
  </Step>

  <Step title="At Least 1–2 Blogs Deployed">
    So you've confirmed end-to-end flow works
  </Step>
</Steps>

## 3. Recurring Usage

Relixir is designed to be used at least on a **weekly cadence**, but more frequent usage pays off.

### Every Week

* Your AI search monitoring runs
* Your active Agents run
* You get email and/or in-app notifications when:
  * New reports are ready
  * New topics, draft blogs, and content refreshes are available

### Your Job Each Week

1. **Check your AI Search Report** — Review visibility trends and competitor performance
2. **Review each Agent's suggested actions**:
   * New Topics / Blog Drafts
   * Content Refreshes
3. **Deploy content** through your CMS / publishing flow
4. **Log any new insights** (see section 3.2):
   * Sales call feedback
   * Customer feedback ("we didn't see you for X")
   * New competitor moves or product releases
   * Use that insight to spawn custom Agent actions
5. **Review performance** from Agents and make appropriate strategy updates

That's the loop. The next sections give more detail on how to do each part well.

## 3.1. How to Think About Agents

Two ways to think about Agents:

* Think of Agents as **workers assigned to specific GEO goals**
* Think of Agents as **campaigns**: you start them, let them run, then rotate based on ROI

### Starting Point

For most teams, a good starting point is:

* **3-4 active Agents** at a time
* Each focused on a different surface, for example:
  * Low-performing but high-intent keywords (your "low-hanging fruit")
  * A key competitor you're losing deals to
  * A new product or feature you just launched
  * A new market/region you're entering

### Each Agent

* Runs weekly
* Proposes topics & drafts blogs (if auto-approve is false)
* Suggests refreshes for content
* Tracks performance relative to its goal over time

You'll use these Agents as your weekly action feed.

### Agent FAQ

<Accordion title="How many blogs should I deploy?">
  * Relixir works best when you're publishing consistently
  * **Recommended target once ramped up**: \~20 Relixir blogs deployed per week
  * If your domain is new or you haven't been publishing much, ramp up:
    * Week 1: \~5 blogs
    * Week 2: \~10 blogs
    * Week 3: \~15 blogs
    * Week 4+: \~20 blogs/week
  * Scale up/down based on:
    * Your plan limits
    * How aggressively you want to expand AI search coverage
    * Your existing content strategy's volume / website's domain authority
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How long should I run agents?">
  * Let an Agent run for **1–2 months** before judging it
  * Look at:
    * Whether its blogs are getting impressions & traffic
    * Whether its target prompts/keywords are improving in AI search
    * The quality and relevance of its proposed topics
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="When should I adjust or replace an Agent?">
  * If an Agent consistently proposes low-value topics, or its target metrics are flat while others improve:
    * Tighten or revise its goal & guidelines
    * Or replace it with an Agent focused on a fresher / higher-impact goal
  * After 2–3 months of strong performance for a given goal:
    * Set the Agent's Topic Count to 0 (so it stops creating new topics)
    * Keep Refreshes on, so it continues maintaining the content it already "owns"
    * Spin up a new Agent for a new initiative
</Accordion>

## 3.2. Using Your Domain Knowledge

Relixir is strongest when you feed it **insights only you have**.

### Good Sources of Insight

* Sales calls ("we looked up X and saw competitor Y")
* Lost deals feedback
* Things prospects mention they couldn't find content on
* New research, standards, or best practices in your space
* Events or launches specific to your niche

### How to Use That

1. **Add (or refine) Brand Guidelines & Knowledge Base** so Relixir knows:
   * Your ICPs, differentiators, and "non-negotiable" messaging
   * What sources to trust/avoid
   * How you want competitors treated

2. **Use custom Agent actions**:
   * After a meaningful call or event, add a quick note to a relevant Agent and trigger new topics/blogs

<Warning>
  If you cram every piece of micro-insight into guidelines, you can oversaturate and make Agents too narrow. Focus on:

  * **Big patterns** you want always respected → Brand Guidelines / KB
  * **Timely, opportunistic insights** → Agent custom actions
</Warning>
