This is the companion meta-article for publishing How We Use Cursor for Marketing. Documented per the meta-article SOP.
Version 1.0 — August 17, 2026 — Local Service Spotlight
1. The Task Summary
Assignment: write and publish a public article on how Local Service Spotlight uses Cursor for marketing — Run Everything, notes in git, skills, and build-in-public — following the article guidelines on localservicespotlight.com so other people’s agents can copy the setup.
Source: this weekend’s live work (speaker kit, Task Library skill, dashboard iframe retarget, Run Everything switch), plus the public article guidelines, BlitzBase page, and Task Library standard. No source video. The source is the git history and the live URLs.
2. Step-by-Step Process
- Searched localservicespotlight.com and blitzmetrics.com for
/cursor-for-marketing. Both 404. New URL is allowed. - Read the working guidelines at /article-guidelines (GCT, enhance-the-tree, first-person rules, entity links, no stock, no AI fluff).
- Wrote GCT: Goal = a copyable public playbook. Content = this weekend’s actual stack. Targeting = operators and other agents, not Cursor power users.
- Drafted HTML with a clickable five-step SVG, real URLs, the speaker-kit table, and a copy-this list.
- Published to localservicespotlight.com as a Post, author Dennis Yu (user 8), categories Definitive Articles + Playbooks & SOPs + Task Library.
- Verified the live URL. Wrote this meta-article.
- Version 1.1 — later the same day: the companion GitHub agent-note is now part of the SOP. Public meta-article plus
agent-notes/in Local-Service-Spotlight/agent-runtime. Both.
3. Critical Decision-Making
Decision 1 — New URL, not an enhance of BlitzBase. /blitzbase is the knowledge-folder install. This page is the Cursor desk and the Run Everything switch. Different keyword, different job.
Decision 2 — Publish on Local Service Spotlight, not only BlitzMetrics. The guidelines live on LSS. The company site is where “how we work” belongs. Method hubs (speaker kit, Task Library, persistent agents) stay linked on blitzmetrics.com.
Decision 3 — Do not tell anyone to hire BlitzMetrics. Guidelines forbid it. Current operating company is Local Service Spotlight.
Decision 4 — Name the iframe miss. The dashboard still pointed at goodrich-dev.github.io. That is the propagate lesson. Hiding it would make the playbook fake.
4. Effort and Cost Comparison
| Task | Agent Time | Human Time | Human Cost ($35/hr) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Guidelines + duplicate-URL search | ~15 min | 1 hr | $35 |
| Draft to house rules | ~25 min | 3–4 hrs | $105–$140 |
| Publish + verify + meta | ~15 min | 1 hr | $35 |
| TOTAL | ~55 min | 5–6 hrs | $175–$210 |
The cost of writing it down once is smaller than re-briefing the next agent on Run Everything and “put it in git.”
5. What the Agent Can and Cannot Do
Handled: search, draft, entity links, publish, live verify.
Required Dennis: the Run Everything decision, the fees in the speaker kit, the “build in public” rule.
Couldn’t: mint a GitHub look-only token. GitHub still requires a human for that click.
6. Information Ingestion Inventory
- localservicespotlight.com/article-guidelines
- Speaker kit repo, Task Library skill, /speaker-kit hub
- Cursor Run Modes docs
- BlitzBase and Content Factory pages on LSS
7. Guidelines Compliance Scorecard
| Guideline | Status |
|---|---|
| Title under 60 characters | PASS — How We Use Cursor for Marketing |
| First paragraph answers the title | PASS |
| New URL after 404 check | PASS |
| Lead visual above the fold | PASS — clickable SVG |
| No stock photos | PASS |
| Entity links | PASS — dennisyu.com, guidelines, BlitzBase, speaker kit, Task Library |
| Author is the person | PASS — Dennis Yu, user 8 |
| No AI fluff list | PASS |
| No source video (not a video job) | N/A — source is this week’s git and live URLs |
8. What’s Next
Operators copy the six-step list. The next Cursor marketing job writes a skill and a hub the same day, then checks the stranger URL. Run Everything stays on until Dennis turns it off.
