- Movement window metrics: avg position, keywords in top 10 and top 3 with traffic-impact hypotheses
- GEO visibility section alongside classic SEO rank columns for AI-search visibility tracking

Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Spans multiple journey phases - primary shelf plus alternate fits below.

Where it fits
Bootstrap a keyword table with volume, priority, target URLs, and competitor domains before a release.
Add GEO visibility rows next to classic rank columns for AI-search citation tracking.
Run a movement analysis window comparing avg position and top-3 counts with traffic-impact notes.
How it compares
Reporting and setup templates for humans and agents—not a live rank-tracking API or rank checker substitute.
