It checks author credentials, source quality, first-hand examples, contact details, and other credibility indicators, then suggests concrete changes. Its description specifically calls out YMYL topics. Possible deliverables include an E-E-A-T scorecard, author bio templates, a topical authority map, a citation strategy, and schema recommendations. It also examines topic coverage and internal links. The agent recommends changes; it does not claim to apply them to a site. The configuration names `sonnet` as its model. For Claude Code, add the marketplace, install the plugin, and use `.claude/agents/seo-authority-builder.md`. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Plugin marketplace** In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin marketplace add wshobson/agents ``` In the agent chat (not a shell): ```text /plugin install seo-analysis-monitoring@claude-code-workflows ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.claude/agents/seo-authority-builder.md` — For all projects use ~/.claude/agents/.
