Agent SEO: your coding agent does the SEO, in your codebase

Agent SEO is SEO performed by a coding agent — Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex — working directly in your repository through a Skill. The agent audits pages, fixes metadata and schema, plans internal links, and drafts new pages as files in your working tree. You review every diff before it ships. No dashboard to copy-paste from, no auto-publishing.

How agent SEO differs from SEO tools

A traditional SEO tool reports problems and leaves the fixing to you: it tells you a title tag is too long, and the edit still has to happen somewhere else. An autopilot content service goes the other way — it publishes machine-written pages to your site on a schedule, quality unseen. Agent SEO sits deliberately between the two: the work is automated, but it lands as reviewable file changes in version control, exactly like a pull request from a colleague.

  • Codebase-first. Metadata, schema markup, FAQ blocks, internal links, and new landing pages are edits to your actual source files — versioned, reviewable, revertable.
  • Human-in-the-loop. The agent proposes; you approve. Nothing is published in the background, and declining a suggestion is one keystroke.
  • Evidence-backed. On Pro, suggestions come from your own Search Console data and competitor research — not from a generic keyword template.

How SEOAgent works: Skill + cloud

  1. Install the Skill. npm install -g @seoagent-official/seoagent then seoagent init in your repo scaffolds a .seoagent/ workspace and teaches your coding agent the workflow. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex; the install page has the copy-paste prompt.
  2. Audit and fix locally. The agent crawls your pages, grounds findings in captured evidence, and applies fixes — titles, meta descriptions, canonical tags, structured data, internal links — as edits you review in your diff viewer.
  3. Plan and write content. Keyword strategy, topic clusters, and article briefs live as markdown in the repo. The agent drafts pages from those briefs using your own LLM subscription — you edit before anything merges.
  4. Connect the cloud (Pro). seoagent login syncs the workspace to a dashboard, connects Google Search Console, and turns on evidence-backed update suggestions: pages with impressions but no clicks, declining queries, orphan pages. Each suggestion arrives in your repo as a task your agent implements — after you approve it.

Why founders and dev teams choose agent SEO

If your site is code, your SEO should be too. Keeping SEO changes in version control means every title rewrite has an author, a review, and a revert path — and your CI runs against SEO changes the same way it runs against feature work. Teams burned by auto-publishing tools pick this model precisely because the approval step is structural, not a settings toggle: the agent cannot ship what you have not merged.

The pattern extends past traditional rankings. The same structured, extractable pages that rank in Google get cited by ChatGPT and Perplexity — the AEO vs SEO work is one program, and an agent that edits your codebase can maintain both layers at once.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Skill auto-publish to my site?
No. The Skill edits files in your working tree, and nothing ships until you review the diff and commit. The cloud layer suggests changes; it never writes to your site.
Which coding agents are supported?
Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, via the same Skill file. There is also a plain CLI (`seoagent`) if you want to run audits and syncs without an agent.
What does the cloud layer see?
The markdown state files the CLI syncs (strategy, briefs, audit findings) and, on Pro, your Google Search Console data via a read-only OAuth connection. Your source code never leaves your machine.
What does Pro cost?
The Skill is free forever. Pro is $49 per site per month and adds Search Console analysis, competitor and SERP research, and evidence-backed suggestions delivered to your repo for approval.
