Anycap AI Tool SEO

AnyCap AI Tool SEO

Read this entire file before starting. It covers the full SEO planning and audit workflow for AI tool websites.

Plan and audit SEO for AI tool websites. Focus on product-led SEO where each page should help a searcher complete a task, evaluate options, or enter the product with high intent.

Map intent. Shape pages. Add evidence. Protect quality.

Before You Start

Read all three reference files before taking any action. They contain the working framework, page planning rules, and quality guardrails.

1. Read this file for the overview and process
2. Read the references in this order:
   • framework.md
   • page-planning.md
   • guardrails.md
3. Then begin the workflow below

For detailed command syntax, flags, and output parsing, refer to the anycap-cli skill.

Prerequisites

• anycap CLI installed and authenticated (anycap status to verify)
• A local workspace for notes, saved search results, and page briefs

When to Use This Skill

• AI tool website SEO planning
• SaaS or product-led SEO audits
• Search intent to page type mapping
• Page brief creation for tool, comparison, alternatives, pricing, and tutorial pages
• Technical SEO prioritization for new or growing tool websites
• Citation, directory, or backlink planning
• Programmatic SEO evaluation and rollout gating

SEO Planning Process

    A[Understand Site and ICP] --> B[Inspect Live SERP]

    D --> E[Check Technical and Trust Signals]
    E --> F[Prioritize and Deliver]

Work through the steps below in order. Skip only when you already have high-confidence answers.

1. Understand the site and the searcher

• Crawl the homepage, pricing page, docs/help center, and one representative tool or feature page.
• Infer:
  • the core job-to-be-done
  • primary user, buyer, and learner
  • target geography and language
  • primary conversion event
• Use the 6-field ICP template in framework.md.
• If the user only provides a URL, infer first and ask follow-up questions only when the missing context would materially change the plan.

2. Inspect the live SERP before recommending content

• Do not decide the content format from the keyword alone.
• Use anycap search --query "<keyword>" --no-crawl --max-results 10 to classify dominant page types, recurring modules, and SERP mix.
• Treat search intent as a page-shape constraint, not just a label.
• If the SERP is mixed, decide whether the keyword deserves one page with a dominant intent or multiple pages.
• Use page-planning.md for page type mapping and module requirements.

3. Evaluate page viability through four lenses

• Review every page or keyword cluster through:
  • Search-Fit Product: Can the user complete the task on the page or move naturally into the product?
  • Information Gain: What first-hand evidence, screenshots, data, tests, workflows, or examples make this page stronger than the current SERP?
  • Technical Readiness: Can search systems crawl, index, render, and understand the page?
  • Trust Distribution: What internal links, external mentions, backlinks, directory placements, or trust blocks support the page?
• Use "Last-Click" only as a user-satisfaction heuristic. Do not present it as an official Google ranking factor. See guardrails.md.

4. Prioritize the plan

• Default prioritization:
  1. money pages with clear transactional or commercial intent
  2. comparison, alternatives, and pricing pages
  3. tutorials that support discovery, trust, and internal linking
  4. pSEO only after a small set of hard pages proves quality and indexation
• Separate:
  • high-confidence rules
  • practitioner heuristics
  • assumptions that still need validation

5. Deliver concrete outputs

• Default deliverables:
  • ICP summary
  • keyword cluster -> intent -> page type table
  • priority page briefs
  • technical baseline checklist
  • citations / backlinks backlog
  • pSEO go / no-go decision with safeguards
  • 30 / 60 / 90 day sequencing

Human-in-the-Loop

This skill benefits from light user input up front, but should otherwise run autonomously.

• Ask for the site URL, target market, and conversion goal if they are not clear.
• If the user already gave a concrete site or keyword set, do not over-clarify.
• Once direction is clear, continue through SERP inspection, planning, and prioritization without repeated interruptions.

Core Principles

Define the searcher before the keyword. A keyword only makes sense once you know who is searching, why, and what they need to finish.

Inspect the live SERP before choosing a page type. Do not recommend a tutorial, comparison, or tool page until you know what the current SERP rewards.

Treat page type as intent execution. A page is not just content; it is the shape through which the intent gets fulfilled.

Require evidence, not generic prose. Information gain should come from screenshots, examples, data, workflows, benchmarks, or other concrete proof.

Protect quality before scale. Do not recommend pSEO until high-value sample pages have proven useful, indexable, and maintainable.

Separate rules from heuristics. Be explicit about what is a hard constraint versus what is a useful but situational tactic.

Quick Reference

# Inspect a target site
anycap crawl https://example.com

# Inspect the SERP shape for a keyword
anycap search --query "best ai headshot generator" --no-crawl --max-results 10

# Ask for a grounded summary when the SERP is unclear
anycap search --prompt "What page types dominate the SERP for 'best ai headshot generator' and which content blocks recur?"

Save important search and crawl outputs locally when the task is large or when you expect to revisit evidence.

Guardrails

• Do not promise rankings.
• Do not recommend doorway pages, spun pages, or low-value mass AI pages.
• Do not copy a competitor layout blindly; infer the SERP expectation, then add original evidence.
• Treat numeric thresholds, directory filters, and DR/DA cutoffs as heuristics rather than fixed rules.
• Flag compliance risk when recommending paid placements, sponsored links, or directory submissions.
• When suggesting pSEO, require unique fields, update mechanisms, quality checks, and pruning rules.
