SEO: Universal SEO Analysis Skill

Invocation: /seo $1 $2 where $1 is the command and $2 is the URL or argument.

Runtime: Run bundled Python tools through claude-seo run <script.py>. Plugin installs expose this command automatically. Repository users run ./bin/claude-seo; manual installers rewrite the command to the isolated launcher path. Never invoke bundled scripts with a bare Python interpreter.

Comprehensive SEO analysis across all industries (SaaS, local services, e-commerce, publishers, agencies). Orchestrates 24 sub-skills (21 core + 1 framework integration + 2 extension mirrors) and 18 sub-agents. A separate optional Firecrawl extension is also installable (see "Optional Extensions" below).

Quick Reference

Runtime Setup

Run setup only when the user explicitly invokes /seo setup or explicitly asks to repair dependencies. Execute claude-seo setup, report core and Chromium status separately, and do not fall back to global or user package installation. For diagnosis, execute claude-seo doctor --json; its output intentionally omits absolute paths and environment values. If any claude-seo run command reports that setup is required, suggest /seo setup and do not improvise a pip install.

Orchestration Logic

When the user invokes /seo audit, delegate to subagents in parallel:

1. Detect business type (SaaS, local, ecommerce, publisher, agency, other)
2. Spawn subagents: seo-technical, seo-content, seo-schema, seo-sitemap, seo-performance, seo-visual, seo-geo
3. If Google API credentials detected (claude-seo run google_auth.py --check), also spawn seo-google agent
4. If local business detected, also spawn seo-local agent
5. If local business detected AND DataForSEO MCP available, also spawn seo-maps agent
6. If backlink APIs detected (claude-seo run backlinks_auth.py --check), also spawn seo-backlinks agent
7. If Firecrawl MCP available, use firecrawl_map to discover all site URLs before analysis
8. If content strategy signals detected (blog, pillar pages, topic clusters), also spawn seo-cluster agent
9. If e-commerce detected, also spawn seo-ecommerce agent
10. If drift baseline exists for this URL (claude-seo run drift_history.py <url>), also spawn seo-drift agent
11. Always include seo-sxo in full audits (search experience applies to all sites)
12. Collect results and generate unified report with SEO Health Score (0-100)
13. Synthesize via the 10-principle framework (see "Synthesis Methodology" below), walk PERCEIVE → ANALYZE → VALIDATE → ACT before bucketing findings into Critical / High / Medium / Low
14. Create prioritized action plan with dependency sequencing + falsifiability per recommendation
15. Offer PDF report: "Generate a professional PDF report? Use /seo google report full"

For individual commands, load the relevant sub-skill directly. After any analysis command completes, offer to generate a PDF report via claude-seo run google_report.py.

Synthesis Methodology

Audits are not just findings, they are findings synthesized into a coherent strategy. claude-seo uses a 10-principle thinking framework grouped into four phases: PERCEIVE (observe-external · observe-internal · listen), ANALYZE (think · connect-lateral · connect-system), VALIDATE (feel · accept), ACT (create · grow).

Full audits (/seo audit, /seo page) walk every phase before emitting the action plan. Narrower commands (/seo schema, /seo images, etc.) pass at least THINK + ACCEPT before emitting (sound first principle, surfaced falsifiability). The Critical / High / Medium / Low priority buckets are the output of validation, not a substitute for it.

Full methodology + per-principle SEO mapping: references/thinking-framework.md.

Each emitted recommendation should carry:

• The first-principle observation it rests on (THINK)
• The dependency on / unblock relationship to other recommendations (CONNECT-system)
• An explicit "how would we know this failed?" check (ACCEPT)
• A leading indicator the user can monitor without re-running the audit (GROW)

Industry Detection

Detect business type from homepage signals:

• SaaS: pricing page, /features, /integrations, /docs, "free trial", "sign up"
• Local Service: phone number, address, service area, "serving [city]", Google Maps embed --> auto-suggest /seo local for deeper analysis
• E-commerce: /products, /collections, /cart, "add to cart", product schema
• Publisher: /blog, /articles, /topics, article schema, author pages, publication dates
• Agency: /case-studies, /portfolio, /industries, "our work", client logos

Quality Gates

Read references/quality-gates.md for thin content thresholds per page type. Hard rules:

• WARNING at 30+ location pages (enforce 60%+ unique content)
• HARD STOP at 50+ location pages (require user justification)
• Never recommend HowTo schema (deprecated Sept 2023)
• FAQ schema: Google retired FAQ rich results for ALL sites on May 7, 2026 (no SERP feature anymore; supersedes the Aug 2023 gov/health restriction). Flag existing FAQPage at Info (not Critical); do not claim confirmed AI/LLM citation benefit; do not recommend removal; do not recommend new FAQPage for Google SERP benefit; use QAPage for genuine user Q&A
• All Core Web Vitals references use INP, never FID

Optional Extensions

The following ship in extensions/ rather than skills/ and require a separate installer to activate (see each extension's install.sh/install.ps1):

All optional extensions are reachable through /seo subcommands once installed: firecrawl, dataforseo, and image-gen, plus /seo ahrefs, /seo bing, /seo profound, /seo seranking, and /seo unlighthouse. Each installs as its own sub-skill, so the model also auto-routes to their descriptions without the /seo prefix.

• seo-firecrawl -- Full-site crawling and site mapping via Firecrawl MCP. Install via extensions/firecrawl/install.sh (Unix) or extensions/firecrawl/install.ps1 (Windows). Once installed, invoke via /seo firecrawl <command>.

Subagents

For parallel analysis during audits:

• seo-technical -- Crawlability, indexability, security, CWV
• seo-content -- E-E-A-T, readability, thin content
• seo-schema -- Detection, validation, generation
• seo-sitemap -- Structure, coverage, quality gates
• seo-performance -- Core Web Vitals measurement
• seo-visual -- Screenshots, mobile testing, above-fold
• seo-geo -- AI crawler access, llms.txt, citability, brand mention signals
• seo-local -- GBP signals, NAP consistency, reviews, local schema, industry-specific local factors (conditional: spawned when Local Service detected)
• seo-maps -- Geo-grid rank tracking, GBP audit, review intelligence, competitor radius mapping (conditional: spawned when Local Service detected AND DataForSEO MCP available)
• seo-google -- CWV field data, URL indexation status, organic traffic trends (conditional: spawned when Google API credentials detected)
