DSL or JSON format that defines multi-week SEO campaigns. Ghost Engine executes the entire campaign autonomously, advancing through phases and adjusting based on results.

Phase templates

6 built-in templates:

Phase	Default duration	What it does
warmup	7 days	Account warming, baseline activity
soft-content	7 days	Non-commercial posts on accounts
ctr	14 days	Geo-targeted CTR rounds
cascade	Once (per cycle)	Article across 9 platforms
backlinks	Ongoing	Authority link building
monitoring	Continuous	Rank tracking and alerts

Example playbook

{
  "name": "Dallas Junk Removal - 6 Week Playbook",
  "clientId": "journey-junk",
  "phases": [
    { "template": "warmup", "durationDays": 7 },
    { "template": "soft-content", "durationDays": 7 },
    { "template": "ctr", "durationDays": 14,

Phases advance based on:

• Time elapsed (durationDays)

• Manual override
