SEO Audit

Perform a comprehensive SEO analysis of a website. Works with public data out of the box — and uses live Google Search Console and Bing Webmaster Tools data when connected via Cogny MCP.

Usage

/seo-audit example.com — audit the given website

Steps

1. Fetch and analyze the homepage

Use WebFetch to load the target URL. Check:

• Title tag (length, keyword placement)
• Meta description (length, compelling copy)
• H1 tag (single, keyword-rich)
• Open Graph / Twitter Card metadata
• Canonical URL
• Language/hreflang tags

2. Check technical SEO

Use WebFetch to check:

• /robots.txt — crawl rules, sitemap reference
• /sitemap.xml — exists, well-formed, number of URLs
• Page load indicators (large images, render-blocking scripts)
• Mobile viewport meta tag
• HTTPS enforcement

3. Analyze content structure

From the homepage content:

• Word count (target: 300+ for ranking pages)
• Header hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
• Internal link count and structure
• Image alt text coverage
• Schema markup (JSON-LD)

4. Check search presence

Use WebSearch to find:

• site:example.com — indexed page count
• Brand name search — what appears in SERP
• Top ranking pages — what keywords they rank for
• Competitor comparison — who ranks for the same terms

5. Analyze key content pages

WebFetch 3-5 important pages (pricing, features, blog):

• Per-page title/meta/H1 analysis
• Content depth and keyword coverage
• Internal linking to/from homepage

6. Report findings
