Croftweaver help
Help with Croftweaver, from its maintainer.
Croftweaver (opens in a new tab) is an open-source set of AI skills for websites. Daniel Melter builds it and maintains it. If your team wants help using it on a live site, this page says what that help is, what to expect, and how an engagement works.
Daniel does the work through M-Squad GmbH, the studio he leads in Munich.
You do not need this help to use Croftweaver. The toolkit and its guides are free, and questions and bug reports are welcome at croftweaver.com/support (opens in a new tab).
Go hands-on with the person who built it.
Daniel works on your site side by side with your team, each person with their own AI assistant. Together you turn ideas into concrete changes on your real pages, early in the work. The aim is human skills that stay in your company, and a process that fits the way you work. For an existing site, Daniel and your team plan two to four weeks to start, longer if your scope and goals need it, and take it from there. Two weeks after the changes go live, Search Console gives a first reading of rankings, impressions and clicks.
What the work is
You and Daniel work on your live site, step by step.
- Set up. Croftweaver is set up on your live site, so the next steps can run on it.
- Take a baseline. You see where the site stands today: what Search Console and Bing report, how fast the pages load, and what AI assistants answer to the questions your customers typically ask. The content is checked for accuracy and consistency, and the pages for technical SEO and for how well AI assistants can read them.
- Choose the work. Together you go through ideas for improvement and choose one or more to start with. You also decide which Croftweaver skills suit your team.
- Take it live. You and Daniel make the chosen changes and take them live at the end of the planned weeks.
- Improve and measure. You keep working on the pages Google already shows, and measure what changed against the baseline.
- Learn to work with an AI assistant. The aim is that your team then carries on without Daniel, makes the routine changes itself and weighs what your SEO agency proposes.
Where it makes sense, the work can also include moving your site onto Croftweaver, from WordPress too, or adding content pages beside your Shopify shop.
What to expect
One site built with Croftweaver, genai-wednesday.de, is measured in public (opens in a new tab): its speed, its clicks from Google since launch, and whether AI assistants name it. You and Daniel compare the Search Console figures from each later run with the baseline, so you see what moved and where. Together you build the process, and each step ends with a clear record: what was done, what changed, and what comes next. Search engines and AI assistants set the rankings themselves.
How an engagement works
This help is for businesses.
Every engagement is scoped with you and agreed in writing before work begins. M-Squad GmbH invoices the work.
Croftweaver itself stays free and complete for everyone. Every fix to the toolkit goes into its public release.
How to start
Write to Daniel. A few lines are enough: which site is yours, and what you want to improve. If the work fits, he scopes it with you before anything begins.
