phoroth SEO-AEO Content Quality Auditor
Overview
Runs a dual SEO + AEO audit on any landing page or blog post. Produces an overall score, SEO score, AEO score, and readability score — each out of 100 — with severity-ranked issue lists (Critical / Warning / Polish), exact fix instructions for every issue, and projected scores after all fixes are applied.
Part of the SEO-AEO Engine.
When to Use This Skill
- Use when auditing a landing page or blog post before publishing
- Use after the blog-writer or landing-page-writer skill outputs content
- Use when diagnosing why existing content is underperforming in search
- Use when you need a scored, actionable SEO and AEO report
How It Works
Step 1: Run SEO Checks
Verify keyword density, H1/H2/H3 structure, meta elements, word count, sentence length, and paragraph density. Flag every issue with its severity.
Step 2: Run AEO Checks
Check for TL;DR block, definition sentence, FAQ section (minimum 4 entries), bullet and numbered lists, comparison table, and extractable direct answers. Score each signal as found or missing.
Step 3: Run Readability Checks
Check passive voice ratio, transition word presence, wall-of-text paragraphs, subheading frequency, and reading level.
Step 4: Score and Prioritise
Calculate three scores out of 100. Sort all issues into Critical (fix before publishing), Important (fix soon), and Polish (optional improvements). Generate projected scores after all fixes are applied.
Scoring System
| Score | Status | Label |
|---|---|---|
| 85–100 | ✅ Pass | Strong |
| 70–84 | ⚠️ Warn | Acceptable |
| 50–69 | 🔶 Weak | Needs work |
| 0–49 | ❌ Fail | Do not publish |
Examples
Example: Audit Summary
Overall Score: 84/100 ⚠️ Acceptable SEO Score: 88/100 ✅ Pass AEO Score: 74/100 ⚠️ Acceptable Readability: 91/100 ✅ Pass Verdict: Strong SEO foundation. AEO needs a TL;DR block and one more FAQ entry before publishing. 🔴 Critical (fix before publishing):
AEO: No TL;DR block found Fix: Add a 2–3 sentence direct-answer block in a blockquote immediately after the H1.
🟡 Important (fix soon): 2. AEO: FAQ has 3 entries — minimum is 4 Fix: Add one more FAQ entry using a secondary keyword as the question. Projected score after fixes: 93/100 ✅
Best Practices
- ✅ Do: Fix all Critical issues before publishing — they block AEO extraction
- ✅ Do: Use the projected score to prioritise which fixes to make first
- ✅ Do: Run the audit on both the landing page and blog post in the same session
- ❌ Don't: Publish content scoring below 50/100 overall
- ❌ Don't: Ignore AEO warnings — they directly affect AI engine citation probability
Common Pitfalls
Problem: SEO score is high but AEO score is low Solution: Traditional SEO tools miss AEO signals entirely. Run the AEO checklist separately and treat it as equally important.
Problem: Fix list is long and overwhelming Solution: Work through Critical issues only first, re-run the audit, then tackle Important issues.
