# Performance MAX SEO Audit Tool

Analyze any website URL for SEO issues and generate a structured report with actionable recommendations. Focused on local business SEO signals.

## How to Use

The user provides a URL to audit. Fetch and analyze the page, then produce a comprehensive SEO report.

## Audit Process

### Step 1: Fetch the Page

Use the browser tool (Camofox) or curl to retrieve the target URL's HTML source:

```bash
curl -sL -A "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/120.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" "TARGET_URL" -o /tmp/seo-audit-page.html
```

Also fetch the robots.txt and sitemap:

```bash
curl -sL "TARGET_DOMAIN/robots.txt" -o /tmp/seo-audit-robots.txt
curl -sL "TARGET_DOMAIN/sitemap.xml" -o /tmp/seo-audit-sitemap.xml
```

### Step 2: Analyze HTML Elements

Parse the downloaded HTML and check each of the following categories.

#### A. Title Tag

- [ ] Exists and is not empty
- [ ] Length is 50-60 characters (optimal for search results)
- [ ] Contains primary keyword
- [ ] Is unique (not generic like "Home" or "Welcome")
- [ ] Includes brand name or location

#### B. Meta Description

- [ ] Exists and is not empty
- [ ] Length is 120-160 characters
- [ ] Contains primary keyword
- [ ] Includes a call to action or value proposition
- [ ] Is compelling (would you click this in search results?)

#### C. Heading Structure

- [ ] Exactly one `<h1>` tag on the page
- [ ] H1 contains primary keyword
- [ ] Logical hierarchy (H1 > H2 > H3, no skipped levels)
- [ ] H2 tags used for major sections
- [ ] Headings are descriptive (not generic like "Services" alone)

#### D. Schema Markup (Structured Data)

Check for JSON-LD or Microdata. Look for these schema types especially:

- [ ] `LocalBusiness` or `Organization` schema
- [ ] `Service` or `Product` schema
- [ ] `FAQPage` schema
- [ ] `BlogPosting` or `Article` schema
- [ ] `BreadcrumbList` schema
- [ ] `AggregateRating` or `Review` schema

Extract and validate any JSON-LD blocks found in `<script type="application/ld+json">` tags.

#### E. Image Optimization

- [ ] All `<img>` tags have `alt` attributes
- [ ] Alt text is descriptive (not empty, not just "image")
- [ ] Images use modern formats (WebP, AVIF) or are optimized JPG/PNG
- [ ] No oversized images (check width/height attributes)
- [ ] Lazy loading implemented (`loading="lazy"`)

#### F. Technical SEO

- [ ] `<html lang="...">` attribute is set
- [ ] Canonical URL is specified (`<link rel="canonical">`)
- [ ] Open Graph tags present (og:title, og:description, og:image)
- [ ] Twitter Card tags present
- [ ] Viewport meta tag for mobile (`<meta name="viewport" ...>`)
- [ ] No broken internal links (check `<a href>` values for obvious issues)
- [ ] HTTPS is used (not HTTP)
- [ ] robots.txt exists and is not blocking important pages
- [ ] XML sitemap exists and is referenced in robots.txt

#### G. Page Speed Hints

Analyze the HTML for performance red flags:

- [ ] No render-blocking scripts in `<head>` without async/defer
- [ ] CSS is minified or uses critical CSS
- [ ] No excessive external script tags (count them)
- [ ] No inline styles larger than 500 characters
- [ ] Font loading strategy (font-display: swap or preload)

#### H. Mobile-Friendliness

- [ ] Viewport meta tag is correctly configured
- [ ] No fixed-width elements that would cause horizontal scroll
- [ ] Touch targets are adequately sized (links/buttons not too small)
- [ ] Text is readable without zooming (font sizes >= 16px base)

### Step 3: Local SEO Signals (Critical for Local Businesses)

These are the most important checks for Performance MAX's target clients:

#### NAP Consistency (Name, Address, Phone)

- [ ] Business name appears on the page
- [ ] Full street address is visible (not just city/state)
- [ ] Phone number is displayed and clickable (`<a href="tel:...">`)
- [ ] NAP information matches what would be on Google Business Profile
- [ ] Address uses `LocalBusiness` schema markup

#### Google Business Profile Signals

- [ ] Links to or embeds Google Maps
- [ ] Mentions business hours
- [ ] Service area is defined
- [ ] Google reviews or testimonials are displayed

#### Local Content Signals

- [ ] Location-specific keywords in content (city, neighborhood, state)
- [ ] Location pages for each service area (if multi-location)
- [ ] Local landmarks or references in content
- [ ] Geo meta tags present

#### Review Signals

- [ ] Customer testimonials or reviews displayed
- [ ] Review schema markup (AggregateRating)
- [ ] Links to third-party review profiles (Google, Yelp)
