## What it does

The skill audits web pages using the Firecrawl CLI. The agent inspects full HTML markup, canonical declarations, robot directives, headings and structured data. It fetches raw markup without filtering out metadata so headers and `head` tags stay intact.

During the audit, the agent tracks broken links, evaluates image alt tags and checks search results for target queries. If source markup is inaccessible, it flags those items as unverified instead of making assumptions. The workflow groups shared template flaws together and presents actionable fixes with verification steps. It avoids speculative site scores or forecasted traffic metrics.

Without a valid `FIRECRAWL_API_KEY` and the Firecrawl CLI configured, the audit cannot collect page source. The skill intentionally excludes copywriting, generic SEO advice and interactive website testing.

# Audit a site's SEO

1. Use the Firecrawl CLI to inspect the website and produce an evidence-backed SEO audit. Establish the target site or pages and use any supplied business goals, keywords and geography. Ask only for missing information that blocks a useful audit. Choose pages covering the relevant templates and user priorities, and record the inspected scope; a sample does not establish complete site coverage.
2. Start with supplied page URLs; use `firecrawl map "<url>" --json` when URLs must be discovered for a wider audit. Before reporting page issues, retrieve the needed content with `firecrawl scrape "<url>" --format markdown,rawHtml,links --max-age 0 --json`. Omit `--only-main-content` to retain full-page source for metadata checks. Inspect returned page metadata, status and content; API success does not prove the target returned a healthy page. Check the actual head markup before declaring metadata absent. If raw HTML or headers are unavailable, mark dependent checks unverified rather than treating cleaned output as complete source.
3. Check titles and descriptions, heading structure, content relevance, image alt text, internal links, canonical declarations, robots directives and structured data where relevant. Relate findings to each page's purpose; a deliberately excluded page is not automatically defective. Read applicable robots.txt or sitemap content when needed to investigate discovery. Distinguish crawl restrictions from indexing directives and declared canonicals from search-engine-selected canonicals. Corroborate suspected broken links; a scrape access error is not proof of a broken destination. Missing map entries do not prove orphaning or deindexing.
```
