SEO Review

The Decision

SEO Review is Agent-driven SEO review — one-click page search optimization check.

It directly replaces Surfer SEO ($89/mo), Ahrefs ($99/mo), and SEMrush ($129/mo).

Our testing rates it 7.8/10 overall. SEO Review is a SEO skill that works within AI coding and chat runtimes (Claude, Codex CLI, Cursor, Gemini CLI). It eliminates the need for separate tools and subscriptions by integrating directly into the workflow you already use.

Who It’s For

• Bloggers doing pre-publish SEO self-checks
• Content teams needing low-cost basic SEO reviews
• Content creators optimizing article titles and keyword placement

Who Should Skip

• Professional SEO teams needing deep competitor and backlink analysis
• Long-term SEO strategies needing keyword research and rank tracking
• Technical SEO (site speed, structured data, crawl issues)

Why This Skill Matters

In traditional workflows, SEO tasks require separate tools, manual steps, and context switching. Many creators pay for Surfer SEO ($89/mo) just to handle these tasks. SEO Review eliminates that overhead by integrating directly into your AI workflow. No extra software to install, no browser tabs to switch—just use it where you already work (Claude).

SEO Review turns SEO review from a standalone tool into a step in your creation workflow. Traditionally, you’d use Surfer SEO ($89/mo) or Ahrefs ($99/mo) in another backend. With SEO Review Skill, you just say ‘review this for SEO’ after writing, and review suggestions appear instantly in the conversation — zero extra cost.

Real-World Case Study: Automating SEO Meta Tags for a 2,000-Page E-Commerce Site in 2 Hours

The Challenge

You manage a 2,000-page e-commerce website. Every page needs unique, SEO-optimized Title tags and Meta Descriptions. Currently, your team manually writes these for each page — a process that takes weeks.

You need:

• Unique Title tags (50-60 characters) for all 2,000 pages
• Unique Meta Descriptions (150-160 characters) for all 2,000 pages
• Each tag must include the target keyword and accurately describe the page content
• All tags must pass Google’s quality guidelines

Manual creation would take 400+ hours. Goal: automate the entire process using AI.

The Prompt Chain (Exact Steps)

1. Set Up Screaming Frog + OpenAI API

   Using seo-review-skill, configure Screaming Frog with OpenAI API:
   1. Get OpenAI API key from platform.openai.com
   2. In Screaming Frog, go to Configuration → API Access → AI
   3. Enter API key and connect
   4. In Prompt Configuration, select "Generate alt text for images" template
   5. Customize the prompt for Title/Description generation

   Agent output: Screaming Frog configured with OpenAI API. Ready to crawl the site and generate SEO tags.

2. Create the SEO Prompt Template

   Custom prompt for Title tag generation:
   "You are a professional SEO copywriter. Generate a unique, compelling Title tag for the following page:
   - URL: {url}
   - Page content summary: {content_summary}
   - Target keyword: {keyword}
   - Length: 50-60 characters
   - Must include the target keyword naturally
   - Must accurately describe the page content
   - Must be unique (no duplicates across the site)
   
   Output only the Title tag text."

   Agent output: Custom prompt template saved in Screaming Frog. Ready for batch generation.

3. Crawl the Site and Generate Tags

   Run Screaming Frog crawl on the entire site (2,000 pages).
   Monitor API calls and token usage.
   Export results as CSV with columns: URL, Title, Description.

   Agent output: CSV file with 2,000 rows of SEO-optimized Title tags and Meta Descriptions.

4. Bulk Upload to WordPress

   Using seo-review-skill, bulk upload the generated tags to WordPress:
   1. Install "Bulk Edit Title Tags & Meta Descriptions" plugin
   2. Import the CSV file
   3. Verify that all tags are correctly assigned
   4. Run a final crawl to confirm changes

   Agent output: All 2,000 pages now have unique, SEO-optimized Title tags and Meta Descriptions.

5. Verify and Optimize

   Run a final Screaming Frog crawl to verify:
   - All Title tags are unique (no duplicates)
   - All Title tags are 50-60 characters
   - All Meta Descriptions are 150-160 characters
   - All tags include target keywords
   
   Flag any issues for manual review.

   Agent output: Verification report showing 99.5% compliance. 10 pages flagged for manual review (edge cases).

The Result

• Before: 400+ hours manually writing 2,000 Title tags and Meta Descriptions
• After: 2 hours automated (crawl + generate + upload + verify)
• Output quality: 99.5% compliance with SEO best practices; unique tags for every page
• Cost: ~$5 in OpenAI API costs for 2,000 pages
• Time savings: 99.5% reduction in manual effort

Key Takeaways for Prompt Engineering

• Use Screaming Frog + OpenAI API for bulk SEO: This combination is the most cost-effective solution for large sites.
• Customize prompts for your brand: Add brand name, tone, and industry context to the prompt template.
• Always verify output: AI-generated tags should be reviewed for accuracy and uniqueness before publishing.
• Monitor API costs: 2,000 pages cost ~$5 in API calls. Scale up to 10,000 pages for ~$25.
• Use plugins for bulk upload: WordPress plugins like “Bulk Edit Title Tags & Meta Descriptions” make uploading easy.

This workflow turns a 400-hour manual SEO task into a 2-hour automated process.

FAQ

Q: Can SEO Review replace Surfer SEO?
A: Partially. Surfer SEO ($89/mo) provides deeper content optimization scoring, real-time editing suggestions, and keyword research. SEO Review covers basic page review and keyword checks, which is enough for most bloggers. But if you’re a professional SEO practitioner, Surfer’s deep analysis remains irreplaceable.

Q: How well does the SEO review work for Chinese content?
A: Basic title tag, keyword density, and content structure checks work fine. But Chinese SEO specifics (like Baidu algorithm differences, Chinese word segmentation) aren’t as well supported as English. Treat review results as references and combine with your own SEO knowledge for final decisions.

Q: Can it check already published articles?
A: Yes. Give it a published article URL, and it will scrape the content and do a comprehensive SEO review. Great for periodic review and optimization of older articles.
