Most tools in this category call an LLM to write text and hand you the output. SEOAgent runs as a Skill inside Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex — it reads your repo, proposes real file edits, and every change arrives as a diff you approve.
The label is on almost every SEO product now. Three things it often hides.
The AI writes a paragraph; a human still copies it into the CMS, checks it against the product, and fixes the formatting. The tedious part was never the drafting.
A tool that cannot read your repository is guessing about your stack, your components, and your existing pages. It suggests changes you then have to translate into code by hand.
An LLM will happily assert that a page should target a keyword. Without Search Console data behind it, that is a guess wearing the costume of an answer.
The model runs where your code is, with your data, under your review.
SEOAgent ships as a Skill for Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex, plus a local CLI. It has the same view of your repo your agent does — real components, real routes, real content files — so its suggestions are edits, not instructions.
The optional cloud layer pulls your real query, impression, and position data per page, so the model reasons about pages that are already surfacing rather than inventing an opportunity from the page text alone.
Structured answers, schema, and an OKF / llms.txt bundle make your pages legible to ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and AI Overviews — the surfaces that increasingly answer instead of linking.
Every AI suggestion is a change you read before it exists anywhere public
The model edits source files, so its work has a history like any other commit
Suggestions cite the query data they came from
Two things beyond text generation: access to the thing being optimised, and evidence to reason from. A tool that can read your repository and your Search Console data can decide which page to change and why. A tool that only drafts copy is a writing assistant with an SEO label.
Only with a review step. Models are confident even when wrong, and unreviewed changes at scale are how sites end up with thin or off-message pages that are already indexed by the time anyone notices. SEOAgent proposes; you approve. There is no mode where it publishes on its own.
The Skill runs inside whichever coding agent you use — Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex — so the model is the one you already chose. The cloud layer runs its own analysis over Google Search Console and SERP data to produce evidence-backed suggestions.
A writing tool produces drafts. SEOAgent does the surrounding work: auditing what is broken, deciding which pages are worth the effort based on real performance, editing metadata and schema in source, and wiring internal links. Drafting is one step inside that, not the product.
No. The Skill and CLI are free and need no account. The $49 per site·month cloud layer adds Search Console analysis, keyword and competitor research, and cloud review — the evidence layer, not the editing.
