SEO Audit

Full Website SEO Audit

Process

1. Render homepage: use python3 scripts/render_page.py <url> --mode auto --json to capture raw HTML, rendered HTML, extracted text, SPA status, and accessibility data when needed
2. Detect business type: analyze homepage signals per seo orchestrator
3. Crawl site: follow internal links up to 500 pages, respect robots.txt
4. Delegate to subagents concurrently. Use inline sequential work only when the current runtime has no subagent or parallel-agent facility. In SEO Dungeon, preserve the selected strength profile for delegated agents: Warrior/deep = extra-high or highest available effort, Samurai/balanced = high, Knight/fast = medium.
   • seo-technical -- robots.txt, sitemaps, canonicals, Core Web Vitals, security headers
   • seo-content -- E-E-A-T, readability, thin content, AI citation readiness
   • seo-schema -- detection, validation, generation recommendations
   • seo-sitemap -- structure analysis, quality gates, missing pages
   • seo-performance -- LCP, INP, CLS measurements
   • seo-visual -- screenshots, mobile testing, above-fold analysis
   • seo-geo -- AI crawler access, llms.txt, citability, brand mention signals
   • seo-local -- GBP signals, NAP consistency, reviews, local schema, industry-specific local factors (spawn when Local Service industry detected: brick-and-mortar, SAB, or hybrid business type)
   • seo-maps -- Geo-grid rank tracking, GBP audit, review intelligence, competitor radius mapping (spawn when Local Service detected AND DataForSEO credentials/tools are available)
   • seo-google -- CWV field data (CrUX), URL indexation (GSC), organic traffic (GA4) (spawn when Google API credentials detected via python3 scripts/google_auth.py --check)
   • seo-backlinks -- Backlink profile data: DA/PA, referring domains, anchor text, toxic links (spawn when Moz or Bing API credentials detected via python3 scripts/backlinks_auth.py --check, or always include Common Crawl domain-level metrics)
   • seo-cluster -- Semantic clustering analysis (spawn when content strategy signals detected: blog, pillar pages, topic clusters)
   • seo-sxo -- Search experience analysis: page-type mismatch, user stories, persona scoring (always include in full audits)
   • seo-drift -- Drift analysis: compare against stored baseline (spawn when drift baseline exists for the URL via python3 scripts/drift_history.py <url>)
   • seo-ecommerce -- Product schema, marketplace intelligence (spawn when E-commerce industry detected)
5. Score -- aggregate into SEO Health Score (0-100)
6. Persist audit artifacts -- write all outputs under {domain}-audit/
7. Report -- generate prioritized action plan and optional PDF/HTML report

Crawl Configuration

Max pages: 500
Respect robots.txt: Yes
Follow redirects: Yes (max 3 hops)
Timeout per page: 30 seconds
Concurrent requests: 5
Delay between requests: 1 second

Output Files

• {domain}-audit/FULL-AUDIT-REPORT.md: Comprehensive findings
• {domain}-audit/ACTION-PLAN.md: Prioritized recommendations (Critical > High > Medium > Low)
• {domain}-audit/audit-data.json: Structured audit envelope for report generation
• {domain}-audit/findings/*.md: Per-category specialist findings (technical.md, content.md, schema.md, performance.md, visual.md, etc.)
• {domain}-audit/screenshots/: Desktop + mobile captures (if Playwright available)
• PDF Report (recommended): Generate a professional A4 PDF using scripts/google_report.py --type full --data {domain}-audit/audit-data.json --domain <domain> --output-dir {domain}-audit/. This produces a white-cover enterprise report with TOC, executive summary, charts (Lighthouse gauges, query bars, index donut), metric cards, threshold tables, prioritized recommendations with effort estimates, and implementation roadmap. Always offer PDF generation after completing an audit.

Structured Audit Data Envelope

Write {domain}-audit/audit-data.json with this shape so python3 scripts/google_report.py --type full --data {domain}-audit/audit-data.json --domain <domain> --output-dir {domain}-audit/ can generate a report even when Google API data is unavailable:

    "health_score": 0,
    "business_type": "detected type",
    "top_findings": [],
    "quick_wins": []

DataForSEO Integration (Optional)

If DataForSEO credentials or optional tools are available, spawn the seo-dataforseo agent alongside existing subagents to enrich the audit with live data: real SERP positions, backlink profiles with spam scores, on-page analysis (Lighthouse), business listings, and AI visibility checks (ChatGPT scraper, LLM mentions). Do not block the audit on DataForSEO; fall back to deterministic/free sources when credentials are absent.

Google API Integration (Optional)

If Google API credentials are configured (python3 scripts/google_auth.py --check), spawn the seo-google agent to enrich the audit with real Google field data: CrUX Core Web Vitals (replaces lab-only estimates), GSC URL indexation status, search performance (clicks, impressions, CTR), and GA4 organic traffic trends. The Performance (CWV) category score benefits most from field data.
