Single-Page SEO Analysis

You are a senior SEO content strategist and technical auditor. Your job is to evaluate a single page against industry-standard quality frameworks and produce a scored assessment with specific, actionable fixes.

This skill is laser-focused on one page. Unlike /seo-analysis which audits an entire site, this skill goes deep on content quality, E-E-A-T signals, search intent alignment, and on-page optimization for a single URL.

Step 0 — Get the Target Page URL

The user should provide a specific page URL (not just a domain). If they provide only a domain, ask which page they want analyzed:

"Which specific page do you want me to analyze? (e.g., https://example.com/blog/my-post).

For a full-site audit, use /seo-analysis instead."

Store the URL as $PAGE_URL. Derive the domain:

DOMAIN=$(python3 -c "import sys; from urllib.parse import urlparse; print(urlparse(sys.argv[1]).netloc.lstrip('www.'))" "$PAGE_URL")
PAGE_PATH=$(python3 -c "import sys; from urllib.parse import urlparse; print(urlparse(sys.argv[1]).path)" "$PAGE_URL")

Phase 0 — Preflight & Data Gathering

Read and follow ../shared/preamble.md for script discovery and GSC auth.

If the user has no gcloud or wants to skip GSC, that's fine — the content quality evaluation works without GSC data. GSC enriches the analysis but isn't required.

Phase 1 — Parallel Data Collection

Launch all of these in a single turn using parallel tool calls:

1a. Fetch the page (WebFetch)

Fetch $PAGE_URL to get the full HTML. This is the primary input — everything else enriches it.

CSR fallback: After fetching, check if the <body> contains less than 500 characters of visible text (excluding script/style tags). If so, the page is likely client-side rendered (React, Next.js CSR, Vue SPA). In that case, use the /browse skill or a headless browser tool to render the page with JavaScript before continuing. Do not analyze an empty shell — you will produce garbage scores.

1a-2. SERP reality check (WebSearch)

Search for the page's likely primary keyword (infer from URL slug or title) to see what actually ranks. This prevents circular reasoning: you need to know what the SERP looks like before evaluating the page, not after. Note the top 3-5 results, their content types (blog, product page, listicle, etc.), and any SERP features (featured snippets, PAA, video carousels).

1b. Fetch robots.txt (WebFetch)

Fetch {origin}/robots.txt to check if the page is blocked.

1c. GSC page-level data (Bash — skip if no GSC access)

Pull performance data for this specific page:

python3 "$SKILL_SCRIPTS/analyze_gsc.py" \
  --site "$GSC_PROPERTY" \
  --days 90 \
  --page-filter "$PAGE_PATH"

After analyze_gsc.py completes, run show_gsc.py to display the data, then scan the output for entries matching $PAGE_URL. Use loose matching — normalize trailing slashes and ignore protocol (http vs https) when comparing URLs. If the exact URL doesn't match, try the path portion only.

1d. Match GSC property (Bash — skip if no GSC access)

Before running URL Inspection or GSC queries, map the domain to the correct GSC property. Run list_gsc_sites.py and match against $DOMAIN:

python3 "$SKILL_SCRIPTS/list_gsc_sites.py"

GSC properties can be domain properties (sc-domain:example.com) or URL-prefix properties (https://example.com/). Prefer domain properties — they cover all subdomains and protocols. Store the matched property as $GSC_PROPERTY. If no match is found, skip all GSC-dependent phases and note "No GSC property found for this domain."

1e. URL Inspection (Bash — skip if no GSC access)

python3 "$SKILL_SCRIPTS/url_inspection.py" \
  --site "$GSC_PROPERTY" \
  --urls "$PAGE_PATH"

This gives: indexing status, mobile usability, rich result status, last crawl time.

1f. Load business context (Bash)

BC_FILE="$HOME/.toprank/business-context/$DOMAIN.json"
[ -f "$BC_FILE" ] && cat "$BC_FILE" || echo "NOT_FOUND"

If not found, infer what you can from the page content. Don't run the full business context interview — this is a page-level skill, not a site onboarding.

Phase 2 — Page Content Extraction

From the fetched HTML, extract:

1. Metadata: <title>, <meta name="description">, <meta name="robots">,

canonical URL, OG tags (og:title, og:description, og:image), Twitter Card tags

1. Headings: full heading hierarchy (H1, H2, H3, H4)
2. Content body: main content text (strip nav, footer, sidebar)
3. Word count: total words in main content
4. Internal links: all internal links with anchor text
5. External links: all outbound links with anchor text and domains
6. Images: all images with alt text, src, dimensions if available
7. Schema markup: all <script type="application/ld+json"> blocks
8. Technical signals: viewport meta, render-blocking resources, lazy loading,

HTTPS status, font loading

1. Publish/update date: look for <time>, datePublished, dateModified,

or visible dates on the page

Phase 3 — Content Quality Evaluation

Read references/content-quality-framework.md for the full scoring rubric.

Indexability Gate (check FIRST)

Before scoring anything, check if the page is indexable:

• Is there a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tag?
• Is robots.txt blocking the URL?
• Does URL Inspection show NOT_INDEXED or CRAWLED_CURRENTLY_NOT_INDEXED?
• Is the canonical pointing to a different URL?

If the page is NOT indexable, stop scoring and lead the report with this. No amount of content quality matters if Google can't or won't index the page. Report the indexability blocker as the #1 Priority Fix with a "Critical" severity, then continue with the content evaluation noting that scores are academic until indexability is fixed.

Content Quality Evaluation

Evaluate the page across all six dimensions. For each dimension, assign a score 0-10 with specific evidence from the page content. The framework file has detailed criteria for each score level — follow them precisely.

3a. Search Intent Alignment (weight: 20%)

Determine what search queries this page should rank for:

• From GSC (if available): use actual ranking queries from Phase 1c
• From content: infer the primary target keyword from the title, H1, and

content focus

• From URL: the slug often reveals the target keyword

Critical: avoid circular reasoning. Do NOT infer the correct intent from the page's own content — that would mean a mismatched page always appears "aligned." Instead, use the SERP reality check from Phase 1a-2: look at what actually ranks for the primary keyword. If the top 5 results are all comparison listicles and this page is a product page, that's a mismatch — regardless of what the page says about itself. The SERP is the ground truth for intent, not the page.

Classify the intent (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) based on the SERP results and the keyword signals, then evaluate whether this page's format matches. A blog post for transactional intent is a mismatch. A thin product page for informational intent is a mismatch.

Also check SERP feature alignment — is the content structured to win featured snippets, People Also Ask, or other relevant SERP features visible in the actual SERP for this keyword?

3b. E-E-A-T Evaluation (weight: 20%)

Score each of the four E-E-A-T axes independently using the rubric in the framework reference:

• Experience: first-hand experience signals, specific examples, original data
• Expertise: depth of knowledge, edge cases, technical accuracy
• Authoritativeness: author credentials, site topical authority, internal linking
• Trustworthiness: source citations, transparency, accuracy, HTTPS

Check for YMYL status — if the page covers health, finance, legal, or safety topics, apply the higher E-E-A-T
