# Spark Platform: Master Data & Campaign Manual This manual provides comprehensive instructions for managing the "Brains" of your content factory. It covers data import formats, advanced Spintax usage, Geo-Intelligence configuration, and full Content Framework management. --- ## 📚 1. Content Intelligence Mastery ### A. Spintax & Variables Guide Spintax (Spin Syntax) allows you to create dynamic variations of text. The engine processes this *before* it processes variables. #### **Basic Syntax** * **Format:** `{Option A|Option B|Option C}` * **Example:** `{Best|Top Rated|Premier}` Solar Installer * **Output:** Randomly selects one option. #### **Nested Spintax (Advanced)** You can nest options inside others for exponential variations. * **Example:** `{Get {Started|Going}|Start Your Journey}` today. * **Logic:** * 50% Direct: "Start Your Journey today" * 50% Nested: * 25%: "Get Started today" * 25%: "Get Going today" #### **System Variables** These are placeholders that the Generator replaces automatically based on the context (Campaign settings, Location, or Current Time). | Variable | Description | Example Output | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | `{City}` | Target City Name | "Austin" | | `{State}` | Full State Name | "Texas" | | `{State_Abbr}` | 2-Letter Code | "TX" | | `{County}` | Target County | "Travis County" | | `{Year}` | Current Year | "2025" | | `{Month}` | Current Month | "December" | | `{Niche}` | Campaign Niche (if set) | "Solar" | | `{Avatar_Name}` | Targeted Avatar | "The Skeptic" | #### **Example Usage in a Headline:** `"{Top Rated|Best} {Niche} Services in {City}, {State_Abbr} - {Year} Update"` * *Output 1:* "Top Rated Solar Services in Austin, TX - 2025 Update" * *Output 2:* "Best Solar Services in Miami, FL - 2025 Update" --- ## 🛠 2. Data Import Templates (JSON) Use the **Import / Export** feature in the Directus Admin sidebar for each collection. Ensure you import as **JSON**. ### A. Headline Inventory *Collection:* `headline_inventory` *Advanced Feature:* You can include variables in your headlines. ```json [ { "final_title_text": "The {Ultimate|Definitive} Guide to {Niche} in {City}", "status": "available", "notes": "Good for long-form SEO landers" }, { "final_title_text": "How {City} Residents Are Saving Money in {Year}", "status": "available" } ] ``` ### B. Content Fragments (With HTML & Lists) *Collection:* `content_fragments` *Power User Tip:* You can use full HTML, including bullet lists `
We provide:
Are you tired of high energy bills in {City}? You aren't alone. {Thousands|Hundreds} of homeowners have made the switch.
" } ] ``` ### C. Geo Intelligence (Counties, Landmarks & Metadata) *Collection:* `geo_intelligence` *Advanced Feature:* You can add arbitrary metadata like `landmarks`, `neighborhoods`, or `weather_zone` to the `data` blob. The engine (if configured) can read these. **Example: Bulk Importing a County with City Landmarks** ```json [ { "cluster_key": "orange_county_ca_attractions", "data": { "cluster_name": "Orange County Metro", "region_type": "county_cluster", "cities": [ { "city": "Anaheim", "state": "CA", "zip_focus": "92801", "landmarks": ["Disneyland", "Angel Stadium", "Honda Center"], "population": "346,000" }, { "city": "Irvine", "state": "CA", "zip_focus": "92602", "landmarks": ["UC Irvine", "Spectrum Center", "Great Park"], "population": "307,000" } ] } } ] ``` *Note: This allows you to write Spintax like "Located near {Landmark}" if your engine logic supports picking a random landmark from the current city data.* ### D. Complete Frameworks (Article Templates) *Collection:* `article_templates` *Concept:* A "Framework" is a blueprint that tells the engine which Fragments to assemble and in what order. **Example: "The Authority Framework"** ```json [ { "name": "Authority SEO Framework", "structure_json": [ "intro_hook", "image_hero", "pillar_1_keyword", "ad_block_mid", "pillar_2_uniqueness", "pillar_3_relevance", "faq_section", "cta_footer" ], "description": "Standard high-ranking structure for local service pages." }, { "name": "Quick Lead Magnet Framework", "structure_json": [ "intro_hook_aggressive", "form_embed_top", "social_proof_slider", "pillar_benefits_bullets", "cta_sticky_bottom" ], "description": "Short form page designed for PPC traffic." } ] ``` *To use this, you would ensure you have `content_fragments` matching these types (e.g., `intro_hook`, `pillar_1_keyword`) available in the library.* --- ## ⚙️ 3. Managing Your Data (CRUD) ### How to Import 1. Navigate to the Collection in Directus (e.g., "Geo Intelligence"). 2. Look for the **Import / Export** option in the right sidebar (often a box arrow icon). 3. Select **Import**. 4. Upload your `.json` file. 5. Click **Start Import**. The system will notify you of success or errors. ### How to Edit 1. Click on any row in the Collection list. 2. Edit the fields directly in the form (e.g., fix a typo in `final_title_text`). 3. Click the **Checkmark** (Save) in the top right. ### How to Delete 1. **Single:** Click the item, then click the **Trash Can** (Delete) icon in the toolbar. 2. **Bulk:** Select multiple checkboxes on the left side of the list view. A red "Delete" button will appear in the header. Click specific items or "Select All" to wipe a test batch. ### How to Export (Backup) 1. Using the same **Import / Export** menu, select **Export**. 2. Choose **JSON**. 3. Dowload the file. Use this to backup your "Frameworks" or "Geo Clusters" before making bulk changes. --- ## 🚀 4. Workflow: Importing a Complete Campaign Strategy If you want to move a strategy from one environment (e.g., Test) to another (e.g., Prod), follow this order: 1. **Step 1: Import Avatars** (`avatar_intelligence`) - Defines WHO you are targeting. 2. **Step 2: Import Geo Data** (`geo_intelligence`) - Defines WHERE you are targeting. 3. **Step 3: Import Fragments** (`content_fragments`) - Imports the raw text blocks. 4. **Step 4: Import Templates** (`article_templates`) - Defines the structure (HOW to assemble Fragments). 5. **Step 5: Create Campaign** (`campaign_masters`) - Link the Template, Geo Cluster, and Avatar together to start generating.
