name	service
description	Generate a new city+service landing page. Picks an unused commercial-intent keyword from `Service-keywords.csv`, builds the local cluster, fetches Pexels images, renders with the `/v4` template, and marks the keyword used. Use when the user types `/service` or asks for a new service / landing page.

/service — Service (city+service landing) page generator

Creates a production-ready, local-SEO-optimised landing page end-to-end. Output: a new route at /app/services/<slug>/page.tsx, a content file at /content/landing-<slug>.ts, downloaded Pexels images at /public/images/services/<slug>/, and updated references/used-keywords.md. Must pass npm run build before reporting done.

---

Inputs

• No args → pick the highest-value unused primary from Service-keywords.csv (commercial intent wins).
• User-supplied keyword (e.g. /service plumber arnold md) → use that exact phrase. Verify it exists in Service-keywords.csv and is not already in references/used-keywords.md.

Read these files before doing anything

1. CLAUDE.md — project rules (SSG constraints, voice rules, design rules).
2. project_specs.md.
3. on-page-seo.md — every applicable item must be satisfied, especially the "Conversion Elements" section (service pages only).
4. references/voice.md — sentence rhythm, banned words, "tells it's AI-written".
5. references/humour.md — service pages can be dryer, but still Marco's voice.
6. references/stats.md — pricing, response times, review numbers.
7. references/opinions.md — "we'll talk you out of hiring us" is a core trust signal.
8. references/used-keywords.md — skip anything already taken.
9. content/landing-baldwin-park.ts — reference content shape.
10. app/v4/page.tsx — the template you will copy.
11. lib/business.ts — Melbourne HQ data (only use this as a fallback; a city landing page needs local NAP).

Step-by-step workflow

1. Pick the primary keyword

Read Service-keywords.csv and references/used-keywords.md.

If no arg:

• Parse CSV, skip header. Column order: Database,Keyword,Seed keyword,Page,Topic,Page type,Tags,Volume,Keyword Difficulty,CPC (USD),Competitive Density,Number of Results,Intent,SERP Features,Trend,Click potential,Content references,Competitors.
• Drop any keyword that's already a primary in used-keywords.md.
• Prefer Intent = Commercial. If none, fall back to any unused row.
• Rank by CPC (USD) descending (commercial intent: high CPC = high buyer value), tie-break by Volume / (KD + 1) descending.
• Announce: Picking "<keyword>" (vol <V>, KD <KD>, CPC $<C>). — in auto mode, proceed immediately after announcing.

If arg supplied:

• Confirm it exists in Service-keywords.csv (case-insensitive exact match).
• Confirm it is not in used-keywords.md.
• If either check fails → stop and ask.

2. Parse the location out of the keyword

City+service keywords take these shapes. Normalise:

• plumber <city> <state> → city = <city>, state = <state uppercased 2-letter>.
• plumber in <city> → city = <city>, state = inferred from context (ask if ambiguous).
• plumbing in <city> <state> → same as first pattern.
• <city> plumber → city = <city>.

Also derive:

• stateFull (e.g. CA → California, MD → Maryland, IL → Illinois).
• county — look this up with WebSearch ("<city> <state> county") if you don't know it.
• slug = kebab-case of the keyword (e.g. plumber-arnold-md).

3. Build the keyword cluster

Same-intent local variations. Max 5. Use CSV matches first, then invented secondaries based on typical local-PAA patterns:

• plumber in <city>
• <city> plumbing services
• emergency plumber <city>
• 24 hour plumber <city>
• <city> <state> plumber (if not the primary)

4. Research the top-3 local SERP

WebSearch the primary keyword. The top of a local SERP is usually the Google Local Pack — that's fine to note, but we're after the organic page structure we need to beat:

• WebFetch the top 3 organic (non-map) results. Extract:
  • Which services they list.
  • Which service areas / suburbs they cover.
  • Pricing transparency (almost always zero — our advantage).
  • Testimonial / review counts on page.
  • Presence of LocalBusiness / Plumber schema.
  • Whether they have an FAQ.
• Note any service the top 3 all skip — include it (stealing ground they missed is the whole point).

5. Draft the local NAP (Name, Address, Phone)

A city landing page must have local NAP or Google won't rank it. Since this is a demo project (no real branch), generate plausible placeholder data:

• phone — a realistic local-area-code number for the target city. Pattern (NPA) NXX-NNNN. phoneE164 is +1NPANXXNNNN.
• email — <city-slug>@plumbingco.com.
• address.street — a realistic-sounding main-road address in the target city. Pull a plausible street name from WebSearch if needed.
• address.suburb — the city.
• address.state, address.postcode, address.country — filled.
• licenseNumber — construct a state-appropriate placeholder (e.g. California → CA-C36-<7 digits>, Maryland → MD-MPL-<5 digits>).
• foundedLocal — a year between 2012 and 2020.
• jobsCompleted — a number between 4,000 and 12,000.
• review — { rating: 4.8 or 4.9, count: 120–420, source: "Google" }. Don't copy Melbourne HQ numbers (412 @ 4.9) — this is a different branch.
• serviceAreas — the target city plus 6–9 nearby suburbs (use WebSearch for "suburbs near " if unknown).
• hours — match the Baldwin Park pattern unless the market clearly differs.

Mark these values in a comment at the top of the content file: // Placeholder local NAP — demo only.

6. Draft three testimonials

Follow the Baldwin Park pattern (see content/landing-baldwin-park.ts). Each:

• Concrete problem + concrete outcome.
• Real-sounding numbers (from stats.md price ranges).
• Local-sounding first-name + initial + suburb.
• Mentions a nearby suburb in the service-areas list, not always the primary city.

7. Fetch Pexels images

Edit scripts/fetch-pexels.mjs. Add a new top-level block after the posts object for service images — or reuse the existing mechanism by adding the slug under posts (the script doesn't care what the slug is, it just writes to /public/images/blog/<slug>/). For service pages we want the output under /public/images/services/<slug>/:

• Preferred: generalise the script. Rename the top-level var to imageTargets and add a type field per entry ("blog" or "service"); the script writes to /public/images/<type>s/<slug>/. Update content/pexels.json output to namespace: { blog: {...}, service: {...} }. If this is more churn than you want, keep the simpler path (/public/images/blog/<slug>/) and reference the images from there — cosmetic only.
• For the service page we need fewer images than a blog:
  • hero — generic city-skyline or clean-plumbing-work image, landscape.
  • service-drains, service-hot-water, service-leaks, service-burst — one per feature card (optional, the v4 template uses SVG icons; if SVG is sufficient, skip these).
  • testimonial-bg — optional subtle background.

Run node scripts/fetch-pexels.mjs and verify output.

8. Write the content file

Create /content/landing-<slug>.ts. Follow content/landing-baldwin-park.ts exactly:

// <slug> — city+service landing page targeting "<primary keyword>".
// Placeholder local NAP — demo only.

export const <camelCaseSlug>Landing = {
  slug: "<slug>",
  city: "<City>",
  state: "<ST>",
  stateFull: "<Full State>",
  county: "<County>",
  primaryKeyword: "<primary>",
  keywordCluster: [ /* 5 entries */ ],
  phone: "(NPA) NXX-NNNN",
  phoneE164: "+1NPANXXNNNN",
  email: "<city-slug>@plumbingco.com",
  address: { street, suburb, state, postcode, country, formatted },
  licenseNumber: "...",
  foundedLocal: <year>,
  jobsCompleted: <number>,
  review: { rating, count, source: "Google" },
  serviceAreas: [ /* 7–10 */ ],
  hours: [ /* mon-fri, sat, sun */ ],
  testimonials: [ /* 3 */ ],
};

export type <PascalSlug>Landing = typeof <camelCaseSlug>Landing;

9. Create the route

Copy app/v4/page.tsx to app/services/<slug>/page.tsx. Change:

• Import the new content file instead of baldwinParkLanding (aliased as loc).
• metadata.title.absolute — post-specific, 55–60 chars.
• metadata.description — post-specific with local phone number.
• metadata.alternates.canonical — "/services/<slug>/".
• metadata.openGraph.url and locale — set locale to match the country (en_US for US cities, en_AU for AU cities, etc.).
• All loc.* references stay since we aliased the import.
• Service card copy — if the top-3 SERP revealed a service they all emphasise (drain cleaning, repiping, sewer line), swap one of the feature cards to match.
• Testimonial section — references loc.testimonials already, nothing to change.
• Schema block at top — the url field in JSON-LD needs updating to "https://<siteUrl>/services/<slug>/" and the "@type" should stay "Plumber".
• Breadcrumb at top — if v4 has no breadcrumb, add a <Breadcrumbs> component pointing Home › Services › <City>.

Make sure the page satisfies every "Conversion Elements" item from on-page-seo.md:

• Primary CTA above the fold — tel: click-to-call in the hero (already present in v4 — keep).
• Multiple CTA placements — hero, feature-grid cards, closing section.
• Trust signals — license, review count, years in business, jobs completed.
• Testimonials with names.
• Service-area coverage listed.
• Business hours displayed.
• Physical address.
• Consider an embedded Google Map iframe (lazy-loaded) if the v4 template doesn't already have one. If adding, use loading="lazy" and point at the full address.

SSG guard: no cookies(), headers(), searchParams, no dynamic = 'force-dynamic'.

10. Update the services index

Edit app/services/page.tsx. Add a new entry to the services array pointing at /services/<slug>/ with a city-specific title (e.g. "Plumber in Arnold, MD") and a short description.

11. Mark the keyword used

Append a section to references/used-keywords.md under "Active primaries" following the Baldwin Park pattern. Include primary with CSV source line, page path, full secondary cluster with ✓ CSV or (invented) tags, and a CSV audit note.

12. Verify

npm run build

Every route must show ○ (Static). No build errors. View source of the generated HTML:

• <title> within 55–60 chars and contains the primary keyword.
• <meta name="description"> within 150–160 chars.
• Hero has H1 containing the primary keyword.
• Local NAP (name, address, phone) is visible in the HTML (not hidden behind JS).
• JSON-LD Plumber schema block present with correct address, phone, aggregateRating, and openingHoursSpecification.
• tel: click-to-call links everywhere a phone number appears.
• Breadcrumb renders.
• No 404s on service-area links.

Run the site locally (npm run dev), browse /services/<slug>/, and check on mobile viewport that the CTA is thumb-reachable and no horizontal scroll exists.

---

Output summary (report to user at the end)

• Primary keyword used + volume/KD/CPC.
• Cluster.
• Top-3 organic competitors + what they skip that we cover.
• Slug + URL: /services/<slug>/.
• Local NAP (phone, address).
• Files created/changed.
• Build status.

Keep to ~10 lines.

Anti-patterns (do not do any of these)

• Don't invent a keyword that's not in Service-keywords.csv.
• Don't reuse a primary from used-keywords.md.
• Don't use Melbourne HQ's phone, address, or license on a US city page — local NAP is the single biggest local-SEO signal.
• Don't skip the Plumber LocalBusiness schema block.
• Don't skip any "Conversion Elements" item in on-page-seo.md.
• Don't write testimonials that invent services we don't offer or numbers that aren't in stats.md.
• Don't use "In today's fast-paced world", exclamation marks, emoji, or any banned word from voice.md.
• Don't ship without running npm run build.
• Don't touch /app/v4/page.tsx or /content/landing-baldwin-park.ts — those are the canonical reference. Copy, don't mutate.
• Don't introduce runtime APIs, dynamic = 'force-dynamic', or any SSG-breaking pattern.
