Set up automated daily checks:

#!/bin/bash
# daily-seo-check.sh

/serp-monitor --keywords-file keywords.txt --report-format email
/page-speed-seo --url "https://example.com" --threshold warning
/technical-seo --checks "crawl,vitals" --output json > daily-technical.json

Content Production Workflow

Streamlined content creation process:

# 1. Research keyword
/keyword-research "topic" --depth advanced

# 2. Generate brief
/content-brief "chosen keyword" --word-count 2000

# 3. Create draft (use AI or human writer)

/page-speed-seo --url "draft-url"
/technical-seo --checks "schema" --url "draft-url"

Monthly SEO Reporting

Comprehensive monthly workflow:

#!/bin/bash
# monthly-seo-report.sh

MONTH=$(date +%Y-%m)
REPORT_DIR="./reports/${MONTH}"
mkdir -p "${REPORT_DIR}"

# Full audits
/content-audit --scope full --output md > "${REPORT_DIR}/content-audit.md"
/technical-seo --output md > "${REPORT_DIR}/technical-seo.md"

# Competitive analysis
/competitor-gap --competitors "comp1.com,comp2.com" --output md > "${REPORT_DIR}/competitor-gap.md"

# Performance tracking

Troubleshooting

Command Not Found

Issue: Commands are not recognized.

Solution: Ensure the skill is loaded:

/read ~/.claude/skills/r14-borghei-claude-skills-seo/SKILL.md

Or check your project's .claude/skills/ directory contains the skill files.

API Rate Limiting

Issue: SEO tool APIs return rate limit errors.

Solution: Configure rate limiting in .seo-skills.yaml:

api:
  rate_limit:
    requests_per_minute: 30
    retry_attempts: 3
    backoff_multiplier: 2

Large Site Audits Timing Out

Issue: Content or technical audits fail on large sites.

Solution: Use scope filtering:

# Audit specific sections
/content-audit --scope "/blog/*" --max-pages 1000

# Or run incremental audits
/content-audit --scope "/blog/2024/*"
/content-audit --scope "/blog/2023/*"

Missing Dependencies

Issue: Workflow fails with missing data.

Solution: Ensure prerequisite commands have run:

# Some workflows require prior data
/keyword-research "topic"  # Run first
/content-brief "topic"      # Then use results

Output Format Issues

Issue: Reports are not in the desired format.

Solution: Specify output format explicitly:

/content-audit --output json  # or md, csv, html

Or set default in config:

reporting:
  format: "markdown"  # json, csv, html

Competitor Data Not Available

Issue: Competitor analysis returns incomplete data.

Solution: Verify competitor domains are accessible and ensure API keys are configured:

export AHREFS_API_TOKEN="${AHREFS_API_TOKEN}"
export SEMRUSH_API_KEY="${SEMRUSH_API_KEY}"

Check domain spelling and accessibility:

/competitor-gap --competitors "correct-domain.com" --debug

Advanced Usage

Custom Keyword Scoring

Override default keyword opportunity scoring:

# .seo-skills.yaml
keyword_scoring:
  weights:
    search_volume: 0.3
    keyword_difficulty: 0.25
    click_potential: 0.2
    relevance: 0.15
    trend: 0.1
  filters:
    min_volume: 100
    max_difficulty: 50
    exclude_patterns:
      - "free"
      - "download"

Integration with CI/CD

Add SEO checks to your deployment pipeline:

# .github/workflows/seo-check.yml
name: SEO Pre-Deploy Check

on:
  pull_request:
    branches: [main]

jobs:
  seo-audit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      
      - name: Run Technical SEO Check
        run: |
          /technical-seo --checks "schema,vitals" --output json
          
      - name: Validate Content
        run: |
          /content-audit --scope "$(git diff --name-only origin/main | grep '.md$')"

Batch Processing

Process multiple URLs or keywords efficiently:

# keywords.txt
keyword 1
keyword 2
keyword 3

# Batch process
while read keyword; do
  /content-brief "$keyword" --output "briefs/${keyword// /-}.md"
done < keywords.txt
