## What it does

The skill runs site audits in four ordered phases. Fix the foundation first. Technical blockers take priority because crawl problems prevent indexing. On-page elements, content gaps, and backlinks follow in later steps.

Its technical checklist reviews robots.txt, sitemaps, HTTPS, 404 responses, noindex tags, and canonical directives. It also tracks redirect chains, orphan pages, and Core Web Vitals. The on-page stage covers title lengths, heading hierarchies, image alt attributes, and Schema markup.

The resulting report groups findings by phase and sets priorities from P0 to P2. For raw Search Console analysis, use google-search-console instead.

# Strategies: SEO Audit

Guides end-to-end SEO audit: technical foundation, on-page, content, and off-page. Execute in order—technical blockers prevent indexing; on-page limits rankings; content and off-page build authority. Use when auditing an existing site or planning fixes.

**When invoking**: On **first use**, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On **subsequent use** or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

## Audit Order

| Phase | Focus | Skills |
|-------|-------|--------|
| **1. Technical** | Crawl, index, sitemap | robots-txt, xml-sitemap, canonical-tag, indexing, site-crawlability |
| **2. On-Page** | Metadata, structure, schema | title-tag, meta-description, page-metadata, schema-markup, internal-links, heading-structure |
| **3. Content** | Gaps, intent, optimization | keyword-research, content-strategy, content-optimization |
| **4. Off-Page** | Backlinks, authority | link-building, backlink-analysis |

**Principle**: Fix foundation before optimizing pages. See **seo-strategy** for workflow and prioritization.

| **Mobile** | Mobile-first; content parity; no intrusive interstitials | mobile-friendly |
