## Articles

- [SEO is table stakes. GEO is the moat.](https://strand.dev/blog/seo-is-table-stakes-geo-is-the-moat): GEO needs content in the server's HTML, clean extractable Markdown, structured data, and cited sources - and MDX-in-Git is unusually well suited to all of it.
- [Why MDX-in-Git beats a database for agent content](https://strand.dev/blog/why-mdx-in-git): Git gives agent-written content a built-in audit log, review workflow, and rollback - and removes a whole class of database operations from the stack.
- [Introducing Strand CMS: publishing built for agents](https://strand.dev/blog/introducing-strand): Strand CMS keeps the ~15% of a CMS that earns traffic - a validated content schema and an SEO/GEO core - and replaces the editor with agents and the database with Git.
