# SEO Audit

Perform a comprehensive SEO analysis of a website. Works with public data out of the box — and uses live Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools data when connected via Cogny MCP.

## Usage

`/seo-audit example.com` — audit the given website

## Steps

### 1. Fetch and analyze the homepage
Use WebFetch to load the target URL. Check:
- Title tag (length, keyword placement)
- Meta description (length, compelling copy)
- H1 tag (single, keyword-rich)
- Open Graph / Twitter Card metadata
- Canonical URL
- Language/hreflang tags

### 2. Check technical SEO
Use WebFetch to check:
- `/robots.txt` — crawl rules, sitemap reference
- `/sitemap.xml` — exists, well-formed, number of URLs
- Page load indicators (large images, render-blocking scripts)
- Mobile viewport meta tag
- HTTPS enforcement

### 3. Analyze content structure
From the homepage content:
- Word count (target: 300+ for ranking pages)
- Header hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
- Internal link count and structure
- Image alt text coverage
- Schema markup (JSON-LD)

### 4. Check search presence
Use WebSearch to find:
- `site:example.com` — indexed page count
- Brand name search — what appears in SERP
- Top ranking pages — what keywords they rank for
- Competitor comparison — who ranks for the same terms

### 5. Analyze key content pages
WebFetch 3-5 important pages (pricing, features, blog):
- Per-page title/meta/H1 analysis
- Content depth and keyword coverage
- Internal linking to/from homepage

### 6. Report findings

Present as a scored audit:

```

## Recording Findings

If the Cogny MCP is connected (`mcp__cogny__create_finding` available), record each actionable finding:

```json
{
  "title": "Missing meta descriptions on 12 pages",
  "body": "Pages /pricing, /features, /blog/... lack meta descriptions. Average CTR for pages without descriptions is 30% lower.",
  "action_type": "seo_optimization",
  "expected_outcome": "Improve CTR by 15-30% on affected pages",
  "priority": "high"
}
```

## Deeper Analysis with Live Data

If Cogny MCP is connected, this skill automatically enhances the audit with:

**Google Search Console:** actual queries, click-through rates, rankings, indexing status
**Bing Webmaster Tools:** Bing traffic, crawl stats, keyword data, backlink analysis

Connect your accounts via [Cogny](https://cogny.com) ($9/mo per channel), then re-run the audit for live data.

For ongoing monitoring, use `/seo-monitor`.
