## What it does

The skill builds an SEO setup for neighborhood-serving businesses such as trade contractors or dental clinics. It starts by collecting business details: name, core service, location, phone number, website URL, and summary. You can also provide opening hours and coordinates. They help build precise local geo tags.

From these inputs, it outputs a `<head>` block with Open Graph, Twitter cards, and geo meta tags. It also generates JSON-LD structured data using LocalBusiness subtypes like Plumber or Restaurant. In addition, it writes standard `robots.txt` and `sitemap.xml` files.

Because the templates are tailored to Australian details like ABN tax identifiers, phone numbers and tax fields need manual adjustment for businesses in other countries.
