seo-audit makes Claude audit in a fixed order: crawlability and indexation, technical foundations such as speed and Core Web Vitals, on-page elements, content quality, then authority and links. It ends with a prioritized action plan: critical fixes, high-impact improvements, quick wins and long-term recommendations.

It triggers on prompts like "SEO audit", "why am I not ranking", "my traffic dropped" or a vague "my SEO is bad". SKILL.md warns that web fetching and curl cannot see schema markup added by JavaScript, so Claude should use a browser tool, Google's Rich Results Test or a Screaming Frog export. Fetched pages are treated as untrusted data. Seven reference guides cover international SEO, local SEO, title tags and moving rankings from positions 8 to 20 onto page one.

Good for

Site owners asking why traffic or rankings dropped
Marketers checking titles, meta tags and headings
Local businesses working on map pack visibility

What's in the skill

When it loads

When the user wants to audit, review, or diagnose SEO issues on their site. Also use when the user mentions "SEO audit," "technical SEO," "why am I not ranking," "SEO issues," "on-page SEO," "meta tags review," "SEO health check," "my traffic dropped," "lost rankings," "not showing up in Google," "site isn't ranking," "Google update hit me," "page speed," "core web vitals," "crawl errors," "indexing issues," "stuck on page 2," "striking distance keywords," "title tag rewrite," "low CTR," "local SEO," "Google Business Profile," or "map pack." Use this even if the user just says something vague like "my SEO is bad" or "help with SEO" — start with an audit. For building pages at scale to target keywords, see programmatic-seo. For adding structured data, see schema. For AI search optimization, see ai-seo.

Questions

How do I install seo-audit?

Use the install box above. It is one skill in the coreyhaines31/marketingskills repo. The README also offers a plugin that installs all of the marketing skills at once.

Does it need Search Console or an API key?

SKILL.md asks whether you have Search Console or analytics access, but lists no API key.

Can it check my schema markup?

Not reliably by fetching alone. SKILL.md says fetch tools cannot see JavaScript-injected schema, so Claude should use a browser tool, Google's Rich Results Test or a Screaming Frog export.

Is it safe?

It reads pages you point it at and treats their content as untrusted data. It bundles no scripts. Do not give it pages behind a login unless you are comfortable sharing that content.

What about AI search, programmatic SEO and schema?

SKILL.md sends those to separate skills in the same repo: ai-seo, programmatic-seo and schema. They are not included in this one.
