seo
seo reads Search Console, Google Analytics, Bing Webmaster Tools and Clicky
data, crawls sites, checks live pages, and gets keyword and backlink data from
DataForSEO or Ahrefs.
Use the MCP tools when they are connected (hosted at
https://seoskill.dev/mcp, or local with seo mcp serve). Otherwise use the
CLI: seo, or npx -y seo. Add --json for JSON.
seo crawl --url <url> needs no sign-in and works on any site, local and
staging too. The other commands need the person's data: seo login prints a
link for them to approve, then run it again.

The properties the person can read |
Each result ends with the command to run next. Start small and ask for more:
a site, then a --section (section), then --detail rows or full.
seo <command> --help shows the options.
Indexing reasons each week
seo index inspects known URLs in a fixed order (lost-click pages, Search
Console pages by clicks, the sitemap, the rest), 100 by default, and labels
each Google reason fix, check, expected or indexed from a live check. In the
CLI or local MCP, --max-urls (max_urls) asks for more, up to today's
quota, and reuses saved inspections up to 7 days old, so paging or --detail full costs no quota. Run it once for a baseline and keep the full result (--detail full).
Run it again each week with the same number and compare by URL and reason: a
new reason, or a URL that moved to fix, is what to report.
seo keeps no history, so you store the results. Once this runs weekly, the
person can turn off Search Console's indexing emails. For one URL from such an
email, run seo page --url <url>.
