seo-audit is a skill for Claude Code from zubair-trabzada/dataforseo-claude. It costs 80 tokens per session (1,567 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A full website search-engine optimisation audit using DataForSEO, a service that provides keyword, search-result, website, competitor, and backlink data. It coordinates specialist analyses and combines them into a score and action plan.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to audit a website's search visibility, research keywords and competitors, inspect technical SEO and backlinks, assess content, and prioritise improvements.
Why use it?
It gathers several SEO checks in one process instead of requiring separate research for keywords, technical issues, competitors, content, and backlinks. Before running, it verifies that the required DataForSEO credentials are configured.

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

seo-audit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 12d 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.

Asks for rootlowPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

3. `chmod 600 ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env`

Downgraded: this mod is about security review, or the phrase is quoted, so it is likely naming the pattern rather than instructing it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 157 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Phase 0: Credential Preflight (REQUIRED — run BEFORE anything else)

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: [email protected]
password: their_api_password_here

When they reply:

  1. Parse login: and password: from their message.
  2. Write them to ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env:
    DATAFORSEO_LOGIN=<login>
    DATAFORSEO_PASSWORD=<password>
    
  3. chmod 600 ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env
  4. Run a verification call: ~/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/keyword_research.py volume "test"
  5. If verification succeeds (real JSON returned): tell the user "✅ Credentials verified. Running your command now..." and proceed with the original request.
  6. If status 40104 — Please verify your account: tell the user to verify their account at https://app.dataforseo.com/, then say "continue" to retry.
  7. If any other auth error: ask them to double-check the API password (the long alphanumeric string from https://app.dataforseo.com/api-access — not their account login password).

Never echo credentials back to the user, never include them in tool output, and never commit them.


SEO Audit Orchestrator

Powered by: DataForSEO API — every metric below comes from live calls to DataForSEO Keywords Data, SERP, On-Page, Backlinks, and Labs endpoints. Cost: ~$0.10-0.30 per full audit · Setup: add credentials to ~/.claude/skills/seo/.env

Workflow

Phase 1: Spawn 5 subagents in parallel

Use the Agent tool to launch all five in a single message:

Subagent type Task
seo-keywords "Run keyword analysis for <domain>. Return JSON with keyword_score (0-100), top_opportunities (top 20 by volume/difficulty ratio), and intent_breakdown."
seo-technical "Run technical audit for <domain> (max 100 pages). Return JSON with technical_score (0-100), critical_issues, high_issues, and crawl_summary."
seo-competitors "Find top 10 competitors for <domain>. Return JSON with competitive_score (0-100), competitors list, and serp_overlap."
seo-content "Analyze content topical authority for <domain>. Return JSON with content_score (0-100), strong_topics, weak_topics, missing_topics."
seo-backlinks "Audit backlink profile for <domain>. Return JSON with authority_score (0-100), backlink_summary, top_referrers, anchor_distribution, toxicity_flags."

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
