Private owner CMS · nothing publishes automatically
Self-service password reset is intentionally disabled. Use the documented database-safe owner recovery procedure.

Phase 7 workflow UI · Publishing is OFF by default. Verify → select → review → approve. Live publishing remains a separate guarded action.

Daily Growth & Health Check
Runs only the checks available safely on this server. External ranking, Search Console and trend data remain clearly marked as not connected until authorised.
No manual run recorded in this local V2 layer yet.
Phase 4
Operational queue
What can be acted on now, what needs review, and what remains blocked by missing live integrations.
Phase 6 Release Candidate: local checks, research imports and integration readiness are unified here. External numbers remain blank until a verified sync.
Prioritised action queue
Security first, then broken/local page issues, then evidence-led opportunities and fresh updates.

Page-level evidence
SEO Command Centre
Separates technical/on-page checks from real Google performance. Internal scores are diagnostics, not Google rankings.
Scores come only from checks the CMS can verify. Imported recommendations do not change a verified score until the page itself changes and is re-scanned.

Phase 2
Page-level SEO & Metadata Audit
Scans local public pages for title, description, canonical, H1, schema, mobile viewport and Open Graph coverage.
Metadata editing is intentionally draft-only. We can audit and prepare proposed title/meta/canonical/schema changes now; direct metadata writes remain locked until the authoritative publish/rollback controllers are available.
Metadata recommendation drafts
Upload researched metadata proposals. They are stored for review only; this build cannot write them directly to pages.
Columns: page_url, seo_title, meta_description, canonical_url, robots, og_title, og_description, schema_type, primary_keyword, secondary_keywords, source, source_url, checked_date, reason, risk_level
Demand + problem + mindset
Keywords & Opportunities
Import research without pretending that every trend is a ranking opportunity. Rows remain recommendations until mapped, reviewed and approved.
Required for a mapped content recommendation: keyword, page_url, field_key, proposed_text
V2 research fields: user_problem, mindset, decision_stage, intent, country, trend, trend_velocity, trigger_type, priority, source, source_url, checked_date, relevance_score, opportunity_score, risk_level, adsense_safe, amazon_affiliate_safe, cannibalisation, recommended_action
Freshness engine
News, Announcements & Tool Updates
For global AI announcements, new tools, feature/pricing changes and carefully selected AI news. Import creates update drafts only.
Publishing rule: CSV or future automated sources may validate and create drafts, but do not publish. Pricing, policy, privacy, affiliate and high-risk claims require owner review.
Recommended columns: update_type, tool_name, title, short_summary, full_update, source_url, source_type, checked_date, expiry_review_date, tags, featured, placement, page_url, risk_level
Editorial states: Draft → Needs review → Content approved. “Content approved” still does not publish; the authoritative publisher remains a separate locked step.

Drafts & Review
Showing all workflow items.
0 selected
Bulk publish is intentionally not offered. Publishing remains a separate high-risk confirmation per item.
Metadata workflow: page title, meta description, canonical, robots, Open Graph and schema are audited in SEO Command Centre. Proposed changes should become owner-reviewed drafts; direct writes are not enabled in this Phase 2 candidate.
Pages & sections
Choose the exact page and section first. Edit opens a ready-filled mapped draft.
The sitemap is generated only from verified page mappings below. Staging URLs are converted to https://aitoolshortlist.com; sections and invented URLs are never added.
Import mapped CSV
Upload recommendations once. The CMS matches each row to its page and section, reads the current text and creates staging drafts.
Required columns: page_url, field_key, proposed_text
Optional: title, page_title, section_title

AdSense & Affiliate Readiness
Readiness checks only. Monetisation never changes editorial ranking or publishes automatically.
OFF
Amazon & affiliates
OFF on staging. Require disclosure, approved placement, tagged links and stale-price warnings before activation.
Security + backend readiness
Security & backups
Mechanical checks are separate from security-critical backend changes. Phase 5 prepares the controls without replacing unknown authoritative authentication/database code.

Integrations & Settings
Account Security
Change the owner password without exposing it in the URL. Passwords are stored only as secure hashes.
External data policy: Google rankings, clicks, impressions, traffic, trends and news must come from a connected/verified source or a dated CSV. The CMS must never invent them.
Connection status is explicit. “Not connected” means no automatic data is being collected.
