Linear

Finseo connects to Linear with a personal API key. Every task on the Finseo Tasks page gets an Export to Linear action: pick the target team, optionally an assignee, and Linear receives an issue with the full markdown description including the evidence and recommended steps. Under Tasks, then Automation, rules can turn new tasks into Linear issues automatically, for example every Technical task with high impact goes straight to the engineering team.

1. 01

   Technical GEO backlog

   Route Technical tasks such as structured data, crawlability for GPTBot and ClaudeBot, rendering, or page speed into the engineering team as ready-to-pick issues.

2. 02

   Schema and structured data sprints

   FAQ, HowTo, Product, and Organization schema tasks land as Linear issues with the affected URLs and the JSON-LD instructions in the description.

3. 03

   Crawler access fixes

   When Finseo detects AI crawlers being blocked or pages not being fetched, the resulting task becomes a Linear issue for the platform team with the evidence attached.

4. 04

   Impact-gated automation

   Create a rule for Technical tasks above a minimum impact. Only issues worth engineering time reach Linear, while smaller items stay in Finseo for triage.

5. 05

   Product-led content changes

   Teams that manage marketing pages in code export Content tasks as Linear issues, so copy and section rewrites go through the normal review and deploy flow.

Linear is the issue tracker of choice for many product and engineering teams, and much of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is engineering work: structured data, crawler access for GPTBot and PerplexityBot, server rendering, internal linking, page speed. Finseo generates those tasks from how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Google AI Overviews, and Microsoft Copilot answer the prompts that matter to you. Turning them into Linear issues with full markdown descriptions means engineers get a normal, well-specified issue instead of a vague request from marketing, and AI visibility work fits into existing cycles.

1. 01

   Create a Linear API key

   In Linear, open Settings, then Security and access. Under Personal API keys click New API key, name it, and copy the key that starts with lin_api_.

2. 02

   Connect in Finseo

   Open Integrations, then Linear, then Connect. Paste the key and save.

3. 03

   Export a task as an issue

   On the Tasks page, open any task and choose Export to Linear. Pick the target team and optionally a Linear assignee.

4. 04

   Create an automation rule

   Under Tasks, then Automation, add a rule filtered by category and minimum impact, enable Create in PM tool, then Linear, and pick the team.

5. 05

   Route by category

   Use separate rules per category, for example Technical tasks to the engineering team and Content tasks to the growth team, each with its own default assignee.

What does the Linear integration do?

It turns AI visibility tasks from the Finseo Tasks page into Linear issues. Each issue carries the full markdown description with the evidence from ChatGPT, Perplexity, or other AI answers and the recommended steps. Export one by one or automatically via automation rules.

How does Finseo authenticate with Linear?

With a personal API key created in Linear under Settings, then Security and access, then Personal API keys. The key starts with lin_api_. OAuth tokens from Linear apps are not supported, so make sure to paste a personal key created for your own user.

Which Linear teams can I export into?

Any team your Linear user belongs to. Finseo loads the team list from your account when you open the picker. If a team is missing, join it in Linear first, then reopen the picker in Finseo and select it as the target.

Can Finseo assign Linear issues?

Yes. When exporting, you can choose a Linear assignee from your team members. Automation rules also support a default assignee, so new Technical tasks with high impact can go straight to a specific engineer without manual triage. Assignees are loaded from the members of your Linear teams.

What goes into the issue description?

A full markdown description with the recommendation, the evidence that triggered it (for example prompts on ChatGPT or Perplexity where a competitor is cited and you are not, or a crawler that cannot fetch the page), and step-by-step instructions to resolve it.

How do automation rules work?

Under Tasks, then Automation, rules run on every newly generated Finseo task. Filter by category (Content, Technical, Authority) and minimum impact, enable Create in PM tool, select Linear and the team, and optionally set a default assignee for the created issues.

Does Linear sync issue status back to Finseo?

No. The integration is one way from Finseo to Linear. Track progress in Linear as usual, while Finseo keeps measuring whether the fix improves your visibility on ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, and Google AI Overviews. Issues can be re-exported if needed.

Is the Linear integration included in my plan?

Yes. All Finseo integrations, including Linear and the automation rules, are included on every plan with no per-integration fees. You only need a Linear account with permission to create issues in the target team, which the free Linear plan already provides.
