Markdown SEO Audit
Analyzes a local markdown file for SEO issues before publishing. No MCP connection required.
Inputs
path: Absolute path to the markdown file to audit.
If the user provides a relative path, resolve it using Bash: realpath <path> before calling Read.
If the user provides a directory, use Glob: **/*.md to find all markdown files and let the user choose.
Execution
@skills/seo/references/markdown-guide.md
Use the Read tool to load the file content, then run these 11 check categories:
1. Title / H1 Check
Count lines starting with # (H1) — flag if 0 or >1
Check H1 character length — warn if >60 chars (Google truncates around 60)
Extract primary keyword from H1 for use in other checks
2. Meta Description (Frontmatter)
If YAML frontmatter exists (between --- markers), check for description field
Flag if missing, warn if <120 chars or >160 chars (optimal: 150-160)
Check if description contains the primary keyword from H1
3. Heading Hierarchy
Verify headings follow proper nesting: H1 → H2 → H3 (no H3 before first H2, no skipped levels)
Flag duplicate heading text (exact same heading appearing twice)
Warn if no H2 headings exist (flat content with no structure)
4. Keyword Placement
Extract primary keyword from H1 (longest noun phrase or first 3 meaningful words)
Check if keyword appears in first 100 words of body content (after H1)
Check if keyword appears in at least one H2
Do NOT calculate keyword density percentage (outdated SEO practice)
5. Content Length
Count words (split on whitespace, exclude frontmatter and code blocks)
Flag CRITICAL if <300 words
Warn if <800 words (thin content for most topics)
Note if >3,000 words (consider splitting into pillar + sub-pages)
6. Readability
Calculate average sentence length (split on ., !, ?)
Warn if average >25 words per sentence (too complex for most audiences)
Flag paragraphs >5 sentences without a subheading break
Space after heading hash: flag #Heading (missing space after #) — correct: # Heading
Consistent list delimiters: flag mixed - and * within the same list block — pick one delimiter and use it consistently throughout
Blank lines before/after headings: flag any heading that does not have a blank line above it (except the very first line of the file)
Blank lines before/after code blocks: flag fenced code blocks (```) that do not have a blank line immediately before and after them
Ordered list numbering: warn if ordered lists do not start at 1 (e.g., starting at 3) — most Markdown renderers accept any number but starting at 1 is the standard
