Content Tracks: SEO-First & Product-First

Date Created: January 9, 2026
Purpose: Two parallel content strategies for Banatie
Status: Active
Source: Keyword research ($3.60 DataForSEO) + strategic discussion


Overview

Два параллельных трека контента:

Track Цель Измерение успеха
SEO-First Трафик, domain authority, ранжирование Позиции в Google, organic traffic
Product-First Conversion, validation, brand positioning User engagement, signups, feedback

Принцип: SEO-first даёт трафик. Product-first конвертит и валидирует. Оба нужны параллельно.


TRACK 1: SEO-FIRST

Цель: Low-hanging SEO fruits. Начать ранжироваться сейчас → результаты через 3-6 месяцев.

Validated Opportunities

4 Advertising Images Guide 1,600 4 Guide MEDIUM 0-inbox/advertising-images-guide.md — нужна SERP validation

Needs SERP Validation

Keyword Volume KD Риск

social media images 1,900 14 Может быть stock photo intent
blog images 720 7 Низкий риск

Include as Sections (не standalone)

Skip (validated as wrong intent)

Keyword Volume Причина

SEO Content Details

1. Placeholder Images API (PRIMARY)

Target: /placeholder-images landing page

Keywords cluster:

  • placeholder images (14,800)
  • placeholder api (880)
  • lorem picsum (880) — comparison
  • dummy images (720)
  • test images (6,600) — as section

SERP Validation:

  • "AI placeholder images" в related searches
  • Competitors beatable (placehold.co, Lorem Picsum)
  • 100% developer intent

Differentiation:

Feature placehold.co Lorem Picsum Banatie
Real images ✓ (random) ✓ (contextual)
AI-generated
Prompt-based
Live URLs

Content structure:

  1. What are placeholder images (answer base intent)
  2. Best placeholder image services (comparison)
  3. AI Placeholder Images: Next Generation (our pitch)
  4. Getting started with Banatie Live URLs
  5. Code examples (HTML, React, Next.js)

Outreach opportunity: loremipsum.io ranks with "15 Best Placeholder Generators" — get listed.


2. Midjourney Alternatives for Developers (URGENT)

Target: Blog post (dev.to, cross-post)

Why urgent: Volume declining rapidly (8.1K → 1.3K). Window closing.

Keywords:

  • midjourney alternative (1,300, KD 3)
  • midjourney api (720, KD 35)
  • ai image generator api (590, KD 32)

Angle: "5 Midjourney Alternatives with API Access for Developers"

Include competitors:

  • Replicate
  • fal.ai
  • Runware
  • DALL-E API
  • Banatie (our positioning)

Key message: Midjourney = Discord-only, no API. Developers need programmatic access.


3. Dark Mode Placeholder Images

Target: /docs/placeholders/dark-mode

Keywords:

  • image placeholder dark (4,400, KD 2)
  • placeholder image dark (1,300, KD 6)

Why separate: Combined 5.7K volume, ultra-low KD. Easy win.

Content: How to generate dark-mode-friendly placeholders with Live URLs.


4. Advertising Images Guide

Target: Blog post or guide

Keywords:

  • advertising images (1,600, KD 4)
  • promotional images (880, KD 17)

Status: Needs SERP validation before writing. Could be stock photo intent like "banner images".

Angle if validated: "How developers can generate advertising images programmatically"


TRACK 2: PRODUCT-FIRST

Цель: Core product positioning, conversion, validation. Нужно независимо от SEO volume.

Product Content Details

1. Live URLs Guide (CORE)

  5. Prompt syntax and parameters
  6. Best practices

Content structure:

  1. The old way (context switching pain)
  2. The new way (MCP integration)
  3. Setup guide (step-by-step)
  4. Real use cases with code
  5. Comparison: Banatie vs other MCP servers
  6. Advanced features (@name, project organization)

Note: Partially blocked until MCP ships. Can prepare outline and screenshots.


4. MCP Image APIs Compared

Target: Comparison article (blog)

Why important:

  • Replicate MCP
  • Together AI MCP

  • Banatie MCP
  • Amazon Bedrock MCP

Criteria:

  • Project organization
  • Developer experience

Key message: "You don't need cheapest. You need the one that fits your workflow."


5. Vibecoding Images Tutorial

Target: Tutorial (blog)

Why despite 0 volume:

  • Vibecoding = explosive trend (10 → 135K in 3 months)

Key Insights from Research

  1. Solution keywords > Problem keywords

    • "placeholder images" (14.8K) vs "how to get images for vibe coding" (0)
    • Target what people search, not what they need
  2. Generic > AI-prefixed

    • "placeholder images" (14.8K, KD 32) vs "ai image generator" (high KD)
    • Position as "images for developers" not "AI image generator"
  3. Long-tail questions = ~0 volume

    • People don't google problems, they google solutions
    • Don't target question keywords standalone
  4. SEO ≠ Market validation

    • SEO shows search behavior, not real pain
    • Customer interviews still needed
