SkillFind and address crawlability, metadata, and structured-data issues in web projects with an SEO skill for coding agents.
SEO guides a coding agent through technical and on-page search optimization, helping developers review crawl controls, page metadata, structured data, and mobile usability. Ask for an SEO review or a targeted fix; supported agents can activate the skill when your request matches. Its guidance connects audit findings to source changes and repeat checks.
Live browser checks depend on the tools available to your agent. Chrome DevTools MCP is optional; the skill also supports Lighthouse CLI output and source and HTTP inspection. Audit scores do not predict search rankings, and technical checks cannot guarantee indexing, rich results, or AI citations.
When important pages are not appearing in search, review crawl restrictions, indexing directives, response headers, redirects, and sitemap coverage. The skill helps identify technical barriers and check fixes, with Search Console evidence included when you provide access; search-engine validation remains a separate follow-up.
When several URLs serve similar content, inconsistent canonical tags and sitemap entries can send conflicting signals. Review canonical settings across page templates and keep sitemap coverage aligned with canonical, indexable URLs, giving you a consistent technical configuration to validate.
When page titles are generic or descriptions repeat across a site, review metadata alongside headings, internal links, and image descriptions. You get specific on-page changes to make each page's subject clearer, while accounting for search engines choosing different titles or snippets.
When an article, product, organization, FAQ, or breadcrumb trail needs machine-readable markup, use the skill's JSON-LD guidance to describe visible content accurately and validate the rendered result. You get markup to check for syntax and search-feature eligibility, without a promise that rich results will appear.
When a page is difficult to read or use on a phone, review its viewport, responsive layout, text sizes, and tap targets. The skill helps identify concrete usability fixes; loading, responsiveness, and layout-stability concerns point to measured evidence from the companion Core Web Vitals skill.
When a site has language or regional versions, review hreflang tags and page language declarations. You get explicit language signals to check across those versions so the intended audience is represented in the page markup.
When deciding which AI services may discover or retrieve your content, review crawler controls separately for search, user-directed retrieval, and training. The skill helps distinguish those purposes using each vendor's documentation, so access decisions reflect the service you intend to allow or restrict.
When assistants need to understand or interact with your site, review semantic HTML, accessible labels, and Lighthouse Agentic Browsing findings. For applications with WebMCP actions, the review can include tool descriptions, schemas, and forms. You get technical issues to address without treating the audit score as proof of AI citations.
SEO is also included in the Web Quality Skills plugin.
Install the full PluginInstall SEO on its own with the Skills CLI, which requires Node.js 22.20.0 or later. The CLI collects anonymous usage telemetry by default. To disable telemetry and security-audit requests, set the DISABLE_TELEMETRY or DO_NOT_TRACK environment variable to 1 before installation. See the CLI requirements and telemetry details.
In a terminal, open your project folder and run the command to install the SEO skill from Web Quality Skills.
npx skills add addyosmani/web-quality-skills --skill seoKeep Claude Code as the installation target; select it if prompted. Choose Project for this project or Global for use across projects. If offered an installation method, choose Symlink or Copy. Review the installation summary and confirm. The optional find-skills offer is separate from installing SEO.
In Claude Code, list available skills and look for seo. Changes in existing skill directories load automatically. If installation created a top-level skills directory during the current session, reload skills before checking the list.
/reload-skills/skillsClaude can load SEO automatically when it is relevant to your request. See Claude Code skill discovery and invocation.
In a terminal, open your project folder and run the command to install the SEO skill from Web Quality Skills.
npx skills add addyosmani/web-quality-skills --skill seoKeep Cursor as the installation target; select it if prompted. Choose Project for this project or Global for use across projects. If offered an installation method, choose Symlink or Copy. Review the installation summary and confirm. The optional find-skills offer is separate from installing SEO.
Restart Cursor to discover the installed skill. In Agent chat, type a slash and search for seo to confirm it is listed. Cursor can also apply the skill automatically when relevant; selecting it manually attaches it to one message.
In a terminal, open your project folder and run the command to install the SEO skill from Web Quality Skills.
npx skills add addyosmani/web-quality-skills --skill seoKeep Codex as the installation target; select it if prompted. Choose Project for this project or Global for use across projects. If offered an installation method, choose Symlink or Copy. Review the installation summary and confirm. The optional find-skills offer is separate from installing SEO.
Codex detects skill changes automatically; restart it if SEO does not appear. In the CLI or IDE extension, list available skills and look for seo. In the desktop app, open Skills in the sidebar instead.
/skillsCodex can choose SEO for a matching request, or you can select it explicitly. See Codex skill discovery and invocation.
In a terminal, open your project folder and run the command to install the SEO skill from Web Quality Skills.
npx skills add addyosmani/web-quality-skills --skill seoKeep OpenCode as the installation target; select it if prompted. Choose Project for this project or Global for use across projects. If offered an installation method, choose Symlink or Copy. Review the installation summary and confirm. The optional find-skills offer is separate from installing SEO.
List installed skills in your terminal and look for seo, then open the project in OpenCode. This checks the installation record; OpenCode's documentation does not give a separate skills-list command to confirm availability inside the tool. Its agent loads permitted skills when relevant.
