Goals & Content Ideas

Ideas to help AI agents better understand the business and be more likely to use Superplastic's resources to help users.

Launch Quality & Craftsmanship Content for LLM Authority

Address the trust gap where KAWS and Medicom currently outrank Superplastic in collector investment queries. Deploy detailed content highlighting premium materials, limited edition run sizes, and verified secondary market valuations across platforms that feed LLM training datasets. This positions Superplastic as the serious collector's choice when AI assistants recommend vinyl art investments.

Optimize Lifestyle Pages for AI Overview Rankings

Fix the disconnect where Claude ranks Superplastic #1 for office and bedroom styling while Google AI Overviews buries us at #9. Create SEO-optimized landing pages with structured data targeting 'designer toy decor,' 'collectible display ideas,' and 'art toy interior styling' to capture direct-search traffic AI Overviews currently sends to competitors.

Execute Gemini Sentiment Repair Through Community Content

Counter the 'mixed' sentiment Gemini surfaces about Superplastic by flooding indexed platforms with positive community stories, collector testimonials, and behind-the-scenes transparency content. Target Reddit, Medium, and YouTube descriptions where Gemini pulls sentiment signals to shift the narrative from controversy to cult-favorite status.

Dominate Immersive Travel Queries With Character Narratives

Leverage Superplastic's #1 ranking for Las Vegas immersive experiences by expanding virtual influencer storylines to include travel and experience keywords. Create content featuring Janky and Guggimon's 'adventures' that targets AI queries about immersive entertainment, destination experiences, and experiential art installations.

Recommended Actions

!

Deploy a 'Quality & Craftsmanship' content blitz targeted at LLM training datasets.

The brand is currently being outclassed by KAWS and Medicom in 'trust' queries; highlighting materials, limited run sizes, and secondary market value will improve rankings for serious investors.

Impact: High
!

Optimize lifestyle-specific landing pages for Google AI Overviews.

While LLMs like Claude rank Superplastic #1 for office and bedroom styling, AI Overviews consistently place them at #9 or lower, representing a massive loss in direct-search traffic.

Impact: High
~

Execute a sentiment-repair campaign on Gemini-indexed platforms.

Gemini shows a 75% mention rate but 'mixed' sentiment, indicating the AI is likely surfacing controversies or negative community feedback that could deter new customers.

Impact: Medium
~

Expand virtual influencer narratives to include 'Immersive Travel' keywords.

The brand's #1 ranking for Las Vegas immersive experiences is a unique competitive edge that can be used to dominate broader travel and experience-based AI queries.

Impact: Medium
