tungsten-blog

A blog for your Tungsten panel, built to be found: on Google (SEO), in AI search like ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews (GEO), and in answer boxes and voice assistants (AEO).

What you get

In the panel

• A Blog menu: Posts, Categories, Tags and Authors.
• A post editor with a rich text editor, cover image, draft / publish / schedule, and three tabs: SEO, GEO and AEO.
• A live SEO / GEO / AEO score next to the editor, with a tip for every check that fails. The posts list shows the score too.
• A Preview link for drafts and scheduled posts.

On your site

• /blog: the post list with a featured post, categories, search and pages.
• /blog/<slug>: the post, with a summary box, key points, table of contents, how-to steps, FAQs, sources, author box and related posts.
• /blog/category/<slug>, /blog/tag/<slug>, /blog/author/<slug>.
• /blog/feed.xml (RSS), /blog/sitemap.xml, and at the site root /sitemap.xml, /robots.txt and /llms.txt.
• /blog/<slug>.md: a clean Markdown copy of each post, for AI tools.

SEO

Title and meta description, canonical URL, noindex switch, Open Graph and X (Twitter) cards, clean slugs, breadcrumbs, rel=prev/next pages, a sitemap with last-modified dates, and schema.org JSON-LD: BlogPosting, BreadcrumbList, WebSite, Organization and Person.

GEO (generative engine optimization)

What AI search can quote: a short summary (TL;DR) at the top, key points, sources (as citation in the schema), a real author with bio and profile links, "updated" dates, /llms.txt that lists every post with its summary, and a Markdown copy of each post. robots.txt welcomes AI crawlers like GPTBot, ClaudeBot and PerplexityBot (turn off with ai_crawlers=False).

AEO (answer engine optimization)

Direct answers: FAQs shown on the page and as FAQPage schema, how-to steps as HowTo schema, speakable marks for voice assistants, and score checks for question-style headings and short answers.

Options

Your own design

The pages are Jinja templates. Copy any of them into one of your panel's template_dirs with the same path to change it:

• tungsten_blog/public/layout.html (head tags, header, footer, styles)
• tungsten_blog/public/index.html (lists)
• tungsten_blog/public/post.html (a post)
• tungsten_blog/public/not_found.html

Score in your own code

from tungsten_blog import analyze_post

report = analyze_post(post)
report.score            # 0 to 100
report["geo"].checks    # each with .ok, .label and .tip

With the MCP plugin

With tungsten-mcp installed, AI assistants like Claude can write and edit posts for you: "Write a draft post about X with 4 FAQs and a summary."
