Action plan is what to do next — copy-pasteable changes prioritized by impact. Category visibility is the real GEO test: when a user asks an AI a brand-free question that should surface redpanda-data/connect, does the AI actually recommend you — or your competitors? Objective checks verify the metadata signals AI engines weight first. Self-mention check detects whether AI even knows you exist by name.
Action plan — copy-paste fixes
3 prioritized changes generated by gemini-2.5-flash. Mark items done after you ship the fix.
- highlicense#1Add a LICENSE file to the repository
Why:
COPY-PASTE FIXCreate a `LICENSE` file in the repository root containing the full text of the intended open-source license for Redpanda Connect.
- highreadme#2Reposition README introduction to highlight unique value proposition
Why:
CURRENTRedpanda Connect is a stream processor that moves data between a wide range of [sources][inputs] and [sinks][outputs], with support for [hydration, enrichment, transformation, and filtering][processors] along the way.
COPY-PASTE FIXRedpanda Connect is a lightweight, Go-based stream processor designed for moving data between a wide range of sources and sinks, offering a simpler, more resource-efficient alternative to JVM-based solutions like Kafka Connect for real-time data pipelines and change-data-capture (CDC).
- mediumtopics#3Add specific topics to improve categorization
Why:
CURRENTamqp, cqrs, data-engineering, data-ops, etl, event-sourcing, go, golang, kafka, logs, message-bus, message-queue, nats, rabbitmq, stream-processing, stream-processor, streaming-data
