Before running any of the steps below, always invoke the shared preflight check:
~/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/preflight.sh
If exit code is 0: credentials are configured — proceed with the rest of this skill silently.
If exit code is 2: the script prints the DataForSEO setup wizard to stdout. STOP, display that wizard to the user verbatim, and wait for them to paste credentials in this format:
login: their_email@example.com
password: their_api_password_here
When they reply:
login: and password: from their message.~/.claude/skills/seo/.env:

domain_intersection(target1=competitor, target2=you, intersections=false). Cost: ~$0.02 per competitor compared.
~/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/domain_overview.py content_gap --you <you> --competitors <c1> <c2> <c3>
You can pass 1–5 competitors. The script returns, per competitor, the keywords where they rank in the top 100 and you don't.
For each competitor's gap list, sort by:
priority = search_volume * (101 - competitor_position)
Higher = the competitor is ranking high for a high-volume keyword you have nothing for — hot opportunity.
For each competitor:
Gap vs <competitor>: <N> keywords where they rank, you don't
Top 10 to pursue:
1. "<keyword>" — they're #<pos>, vol <V>, KD <D>, $<CPC>
→ They rank a <page_type> at <url>
2. ...
After processing all competitors, find keywords that multiple competitors rank for. These are the strongest signals — if every competitor has content on a topic and you don't, that's a clear hole in your strategy.
Consensus gaps (3+ competitors rank, you don't):
- "<keyword>" ← 4 competitors rank top 20
- "<keyword>" ← 3 competitors rank top 10
End with a 5-article content roadmap with target keyword, working title, priority score, and which competitor's article to study.
Full SEO toolkit for Claude Code, powered by the DataForSEO API. Replaces the data layer of an SEO agency: keyword research, competitor analysis, rank tracking, backlink audits, technical site crawls, content gap analysis, and client-ready PDF reports — all with real Google search data, not scraping. Use when the user says "seo", "keyword research", "rank check", "backlinks", "competitor analysis", "site audit", "content gap", "compare domains", or passes a domain / URL / keyword for SEO analysis.
Draft a personalized cold email to a prospect based on the SEO audit findings. Reads the audit JSON for the given domain, picks the 2-3 most impactful issues, and writes an outreach email that references specific data (current ranking, traffic value, named issues) so it doesn't look like spam.
