SITE="https://yoursite.com"
DATE=$(date +%Y-%m)
REPORT_DIR="./reports/$DATE"

mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR"

# Rankings
/serp-monitor --keywords keywords.csv --url "$SITE" --output "$REPORT_DIR/rankings.csv"

Integration Examples

Google Search Console Integration

# Fetch Search Console data for keyword monitoring
import os
from google.oauth2 import service_account
from googleapiclient.discovery import build

# Use credentials from environment
credentials = service_account.Credentials.from_service_account_file(
    os.getenv('GOOGLE_SEARCH_CONSOLE_KEY'),
    scopes=['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/webmasters.readonly']
)

service = build('searchconsole', 'v1', credentials=credentials)

# Use with /serp-monitor command
# The skill automatically pulls GSC data if credentials are configured

Screaming Frog Integration

# Export Screaming Frog crawl for /technical-seo analysis
screamingfrogseospider --crawl https://example.com --export-tabs "Internal:All" --output-folder ./crawl-data/

# Import into technical SEO audit
/technical-seo --import-crawl ./crawl-data/internal_all.csv

Ahrefs API Integration

# Set API key
export AHREFS_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

# Competitor gap analysis uses Ahrefs data automatically
/competitor-gap --type backlink --target https://yoursite.com --competitors https://competitor.com

# Link prospecting leverages Ahrefs metrics
/link-prospecting --topic "marketing guides" --da-min 40 --source ahrefs

Troubleshooting

Command Not Found

# Verify skill is loaded
/read ~/.claude/skills/seo-content-marketing/SKILL.md

# Check command syntax
/help | grep seo

# Reload skill
/reload-skill seo-content-marketing

Slow Crawl Performance

# Reduce crawl depth
/technical-seo https://site.com --depth 2

# Limit page count
/content-audit --scope /blog/ --max-pages 500

# Use sampling for large sites
/page-speed-seo https://site.com --sample 10

API Rate Limits

# Add delays between requests (configured in config.yaml)
defaults:
  api_rate_limit:
    requests_per_minute: 30
    delay_ms: 2000

# Use cached data when available
/serp-monitor --use-cache --cache-age 24h

Missing Data in Reports

# Ensure API keys are set
echo $SEMRUSH_API_KEY
echo $AHREFS_API_KEY

# Check permissions
ls -la ~/.claude/skills/seo-content-marketing/

# Verify output directory exists
mkdir -p ./seo-reports

# Enable verbose logging
/technical-seo https://site.com --verbose --log-file debug.log

Memory Issues on Large Sites

# Process in batches
/content-audit --scope /blog/ --batch-size 100 --output batch-1.csv
/content-audit --scope /products/ --batch-size 100 --output batch-2.csv

# Use streaming mode for exports
/keyword-research "topic" --stream --output keywords.csv

Best Practices

1. Always set environment variables for API keys — never hardcode credentials
2. Use --output flags to save reports for historical comparison
3. Schedule regular audits (weekly technical, monthly content, quarterly competitor)
4. Combine commands in workflows for comprehensive analysis
5. Filter aggressively in keyword research to avoid analysis paralysis
6. Prioritize quick wins from audit findings tables (🔴 high-impact items first)
7. Track changes over time by comparing dated report exports
8. Validate fixes by re-running specific checks after implementation

Advanced Usage

Custom Workflow Creation

Create a custom workflow by chaining commands:

#!/bin/bash
# custom-local-seo-workflow.sh

BUSINESS="Acme Coffee"
LOCATION="Seattle, WA"

# Local audit
/local-seo --business "$BUSINESS" --location "$LOCATION" --output local-audit.json

# Local keyword research
/keyword-research "$BUSINESS $LOCATION" --intent local --output local-keywords.csv

# Content calendar for local events
/content-calendar --keywords local-keywords.csv --include-seasonality --location "$LOCATION"

# GBP optimization
/local-seo --business "$BUSINESS" --optimize --output gbp-checklist.md

echo "Local SEO workflow complete"

Automated Reporting Dashboard

# Generate weekly dashboard
/technical-seo https://site.com --output reports/tech.json
/serp-monitor --keywords keywords.csv --output reports/rankings.json
/content-audit --scope full --output reports/content.json

# Combine into dashboard (requires visualization tool)
python generate_dashboard.py --reports reports/ --output dashboard.html
