Maintain client status in Monday.com (deliverables, health, open issues, upsell opportunities).

Ensure AI Visibility Layer instructions are sent within 3 business days of publication.

Verify working links.
Run AI-detection check (must show 0% flagged as AI-written).
Check tone, clarity, grammar, and client alignment.
QA reports and client updates before delivery.
Ensure version control in Google Drive (naming conventions, final versions).
