63 pillar definitions across 9 clusters. Foundations, Technical SEO, AI Search, Ecommerce, Links & Authority, Performance, Quality & Indexing, Rich Results, Search Console. Each linking to 5-10 deeper-dive variants. 693 pages of reference.
AI visibility
14 guides in two sections. AI Visibility covers what moves it, how to check it, what the tools measure and what a platform adds. LLM SEO covers the acronyms, what an agency sells, and whether a course is worth the money. Both start from the same mechanical fact: an assistant answering a current question runs a search first, so the pages that rank are the pages it reads.
Free tools
16 interactive instruments. The Store SEO Grader, ad-spend and ROI calculators, the niche authority score, blog audit, keyword finder, and more. No email gate.

Behind the curtain
Not magic, not an agency, not a content farm. A specific repeatable engine, run by Ollie + Matt. Same engine that runs on customer stores.
Every topic gets a definitional pillar page. 700 words, schema-marked, cross-linked to siblings. The vocabulary layer that AI surfaces extract from.
Each pillar gets 10 variants . 5 vs-comparisons, 3 platform-specific, 1 how-to, 1 checklist. The same pattern Ollie runs at scale for ecommerce stores.
After every content add, a script sweeps all 785+ pages and injects internal links wherever pillar terms appear in body text. The link graph compounds automatically.
A weekly cron asks 30 cluster-spanning queries against ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini. Measures whether our work is actually moving the needle on AI citation.
Written by Matt Goren. Engineered into a system by Ollie. Updated continuously.
One email. The curated starter path. Then nothing unless we ship something genuinely worth your time.
No spam. Unsubscribe anytime.
Yes. Every article, every glossary term, every tool, every comparison is free to read forever, no signup required. The whole point of the playbook is to be the open reference that ecommerce operators trust. If you want the engine that builds and installs this kind of content on your own store automatically, that's the paid product (Ollie). The reading is free. The doing it for you is the service.
Three layers. Guides (68 of them, in the article list below) are the long-form how-to and explainer pieces . 1,500-4,000 words each, the meat of the playbook. Pillars (63 of them, in the glossary) are definitional pages. One per term, ~700 words, the dictionary of ecommerce SEO. Variants (630 of them, under each pillar) are the deeper dives. Vs-X comparisons, platform-specific guides, how-tos, and checklists for each pillar. Together they form a cluster of 760+ cross-linked pages.
New content lands most weeks. The cluster has roughly doubled in the last 30 days. The "Recently shipped" section above shows what's newest. Every page also carries a dateModified timestamp so search engines re-crawl when things change.
Every article is authored by Matt Goren, founder of RunOctopus. The voice is operator-first because Matt built and ran the All Angles Creatures store from invisible to page-1 in reptile feeder insects, using exactly the methods documented here.
A course is curated content for a price. This is reference content for free. A course assumes you'll watch it in order. This assumes you'll arrive via search or AI citation and need the specific answer you came for. If you want the curated path, the Where Do You Start section above gives you that. But you can also jump anywhere.
Most articles assume basic ecommerce-platform familiarity (you know what a product page is, you can edit your store's content). For technical pieces (schema markup, JavaScript SEO, Core Web Vitals) you'll either need to be comfortable with code OR pass them to a developer. The Ollie product handles the technical parts automatically if you'd rather skip the implementation.
Everything in this guide. The content, the tools, the internal linking, the topical authority. Ollie does it automatically. A complete launch build of 8 in-depth guides, 6 collection pages, and an interactive tool live on your store in 48 hours.
