where-to-start
From the author
First-move advice for a broad growth or marketing ask with no job named: looks at what GooseWorks already knows and at the site, asks a few short questions in one message, names the one thing in the way, and sends the marketer to the right next job. Use when the marketer says "help me grow my brand", "I need to grow my business", "how do I get more customers / sales", "help me with marketing", "where do I start", "sales are flat", "what should I focus on this month", or "I'm back, what's next?". Recommends only; never runs the work. Not for a named job like "make me ads" or "grow my Instagram" (go straight to it); not for a campaign with a launch, budget or date — use plan-campaign; not for why this week's numbers moved — use analyze-performance.

- marketing-guidegooseworks-ai/goose-skillsHow every GooseWorks marketing playbook runs: connecting, picking the brand, where files go, the shared claims, money, research and schedule rules, and the index of what each playbook saves and who reads it. Load at the start of any playbook run. Not a marketer ask: for "what should I do first?" use where-to-start.Marketing★ 1.3K
- seo-growthAI-Builder-Club/skillsUse when deciding WHERE to point SEO effort, not how to write a page. Triggers: a new site or brand with no rankings and no authority ("cold start", "starting from zero", "nobody knows us"), deciding what to double down on, a page or cluster that ranks but earns nothing, hunting emerging or newly-coined keywords before competitors arrive, "should we build a cluster or one page", "what do we write next", "we get impressions but no clicks", "our traffic plateaued despite publishing", whether to chase a head term at all, or turning any of it into recurring automation. Also use when asked why an SEO effort stalled despite consistent output. NOT for writing an article, keyword expansion mechanics, or auditing a single tactic for penalty risk.Marketing★ 1.3K
- gooseworksgooseworks-ai/goose-skillsGooseWorks growth coworker and router for markets, competitors, audiences, creators, campaigns, ads, photos, graphics, video, content, email, SEO, social, leads and contacts. Use for brand facts or copy too, so offers, prices, rules, audience and bestsellers reach the brand's Marketing Brain.Media★ 1.3K
- marketing-ideascoreyhaines31/marketingskillsWhen the user needs marketing ideas, inspiration, or strategies for their SaaS or software product. Also use when the user asks for 'marketing ideas,' 'growth ideas,' 'how to market,' 'marketing strategies,' 'marketing tactics,' 'ways to promote,' 'ideas to grow,' 'what else can I try,' 'I don't know how to market this,' 'brainstorm marketing,' or 'what marketing should I do.' Use this as a starting point whenever someone is stuck or looking for inspiration on how to grow. For specific channel execution, see the relevant skill (ads, social, emails, etc.).Marketing★ 56.8K
- learn-my-brandgooseworks-ai/goose-skillsLearn my brand once and stop asking me every time. Use when someone says learn my brand, set up my brand, here's our brand book, remember how we talk, what can we claim, can we say this, approve our claims, sign off our voice, our price or product changed, the client approved the claims, pick up where we left off, or check our claims are still current. Reads what GooseWorks already found about the brand, asks only the gaps as drafts to confirm, audits every claim (including ones research marked approved) and gets the ones that matter signed off with proof, scope and review date, turns the voice into rules the owner confirms, checks logo, colours and fonts, and saves it all as it goes so every other job loads it instead of asking. Ends with an unknowns list and a read-back. Not for who our customers are and what they say (use research-audience) or writing positioning from scratch (not covered yet).Science★ 1.3K
- marketing-data-accessgooseworks-ai/goose-skillsHow to get live public data (ads libraries, social posts and comments, search results, creator profiles), business identity/work-contact reads, domain SEO metrics and paid media generation through GooseWorks, with no vendor key. Load before any playbook step that reads public data or calls an outside model: which proxy call fits the job, what it costs, how to get the human's yes, and what to do when the data is not reachable. Not for brand facts (read the brand brain) or the customer's own ad accounts (the GooseWorks ads tools, or an ads connector they have).Marketing★ 1.3K
