SEO Optimization Guide
This skill covers full-stack SEO - on-page tag optimization, robots.txt and sitemap setup, Article/Product schema markup, a keyword research framework, white-hat link building, and a standing audit checklist. Use it when running or auditing a complete SEO program, not for a single isolated fix like one title tag.
What it does
This skill provides end-to-end SEO optimization guidance across algorithm fundamentals, on-page and technical implementation, content strategy, link building, and performance monitoring. Search engine ranking rests on relevance (matching informational, navigational, transactional, or commercial intent), authority (quality backlinks and expertise signals), user experience (Core Web Vitals, mobile-first indexing, engagement metrics), freshness, and E-A-T (expertise, authoritativeness, trustworthiness). Technical SEO fundamentals cover site architecture and URL structure, crawlability and indexability, page speed and Core Web Vitals, mobile responsiveness, and structured data.
When to use - and when NOT to
Use it when auditing or building out an SEO program that spans on-page tags, structured data, keyword research, link building, and measurement - not a single quick-fix like changing one title tag. It is not a black-hat shortcut: link-building tactics are explicitly white-hat (resource-page outreach, broken-link building, guest posting, digital PR, industry partnerships), assessed by domain and page authority, topical relevance, anchor-text diversity, traffic, and editorial standards.
Inputs and outputs
Given a page or site, it produces on-page optimization (a keyword-first title tag at 50-60 characters, an action-oriented meta description at 150-160 characters, an H1-H2-H3 header structure distributing keywords, 1-2% primary keyword density with semantic variations, 1,500+ words of content depth for competitive topics, descriptive-anchor internal linking, and image alt text, filename, and compression optimization), technical assets (a robots.txt disallowing admin, private, and print-parameter paths while allowing uploads and pointing to sitemaps, an XML sitemap with loc, lastmod, changefreq, and priority, and Article and Product schema markup), and a keyword research framework (5-10 seed keywords, an analysis of the top 3 competitors' ranking keywords, 3-5 word long-tail targets, search-intent categorization, and seasonal-trend identification) built into a pillar-page-plus-cluster content architecture.

Integrations
Tracks a fixed metric set - organic traffic (sessions, users, conversion rate), keyword rankings and visibility, SERP click-through rate, Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), and backlink profile growth - through a standing audit checklist covering technical crawl errors, on-page gaps, content quality, site speed and mobile usability, and backlink spam detection. Advanced strategies extend into entity-based SEO (Knowledge Graph optimization, entity relationships, brand-mention tracking, author authority), voice search (conversational keywords, featured snippets, local SEO, FAQ schema), and international SEO (hreflang, country-specific domains, cultural content adaptation, regional keyword research).
Who it's for
SEO specialists and content teams running a full optimization program - from title-tag and schema-level fixes through link building, entity SEO, and international expansion - who need concrete character limits, keyword density targets, and a standing audit checklist rather than general advice.
