Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

openseo-link-prospecting scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 102 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Find pages, sites, and authors that might realistically reference the user's linkable asset — then hand off-page-seo a qualified target list at .seo/backlink-targets.json instead of a cold start.

On Activation

  1. Catalog + binding: mktg catalog info openseo --json --fields configured + .seo/openseo.json. No OpenSEO → prospect with Exa search only (queries below still apply) and label authority data unknown.
  2. Clarify the asset: what page/study/tool/template is being promoted and WHY someone would reference it. No clear asset + reason → fix that first; outreach without a reason is spam.
  3. Read brand/positioning.md for angle/audience fit (tolerate missing).

OpenSEO MCP Tools

  • get_serp_results: find ranking articles, listicles, resource pages, comparisons, statistics pages (≤10 queries per call).
  • get_backlinks_overview: competitor backlink/referring-domain patterns — where do THEY get links (may be unavailable; continue without).
  • get_domain_overview: qualify strong prospect domains.
  • get_ranked_keywords: topical-fit checks on prospects/competitors.
  • research_keywords: expand prospecting queries.

Contact Discovery (NOT OpenSEO)

Contact paths come from web/search/browser tools (Firecrawl fetch, Exa search, browser automation) — never attribute these to OpenSEO:

  • Author byline pages, contact pages, editorial guidelines, about/team pages
  • LinkedIn/X/Bluesky profiles, newsletter mastheads
  • Public emails in HTML or visible text; Person/Organization/sameAs/email structured data

Record only contact details actually found, each with its source URL.

Prospecting Query Patterns

<topic> resources · best <category> tools · <competitor> alternatives · <topic> statistics · <topic> guide · <topic> examples · <topic> templates · <topic> software · <topic> for <audience>

Workflow

  1. Build 5–10 prospecting queries from the asset; get_serp_results in batches.
  2. Competitors supplied? get_backlinks_overview their strongest domains first.
  3. Filter: keep editorial pages, resource lists, comparisons, statistics, templates, curated directories. Drop homepages, login walls, thin affiliate, spam, and direct competitors (unless a comparison angle is valid).
  4. Per prospect, define the angle: broken/missing resource, better current data, useful tool/template, comparison inclusion, expert quote.
  5. Contact discovery on the strongest prospects via web tools (source URLs recorded).
  6. Write targets to .seo/backlink-targets.json:

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
