# The SEO Skill for Cursor

A free Skill that gives Cursor the tools to grow your organic traffic — audit your site, fix technical SEO, and write optimized pages right in your repo, with you approving every change.

## What is the SEO Skill for Cursor?

The SEOAgent Skill turns Cursor's Agent into an SEO engine for your codebase. Once installed, you can ask Cursor to audit your site, fix technical issues, research keywords, and write landing pages and articles — and it does the work as real files in your repo. Nothing publishes on its own: every change comes back as a normal diff in Cursor's review pane to approve. It is the opposite of an auto-blogging tool — it is SEO that lives where you already ship.

## How to use SEOAgent in Cursor

1. **Install the Skill globally** — Run `npm install -g @seoagent-official/seoagent` once, then `seoagent init` in your project. This scaffolds the Skill into `.cursor/skills/seoagent/` so Cursor’s Agent picks it up automatically — no config to wire up.
2. **Ask Cursor’s Agent to audit your site** — Open the Agent panel and say "audit my site." The Skill fetches your homepage, sitemap, and robots.txt, runs a full technical-SEO check, and reports the biggest issues with the exact fix for each — not a vague to-do list.
3. **Approve the fixes** — Cursor proposes changes — metadata, schema, canonicals, internal links — as edits you review in the diff pane. Accept what makes sense and reject the rest. Safe, reversible, shipped through your normal pipeline.
4. **Write content in your repo** — Ask it to research keywords and write articles or landing pages. It builds a topic cluster with internal linking and writes the files straight into your repo (or your CMS), so a reviewed commit puts them live.
5. **Connect Search Console (optional)** — Run `seoagent login` in Cursor’s integrated terminal to connect Google Search Console. Now the Skill grounds its suggestions in your real traffic data — which queries sit on page two, which pages are slipping — instead of guessing.

## What SEOAgent does in Cursor

### Technical SEO audits

Crawls your pages and flags indexing, canonical, metadata, render, and internal-link issues — with the fix attached to each finding.

### In-repo fixes

Applies safe, mechanical fixes (titles, meta descriptions, schema, alt text) directly in your source, and proposes the rest for review.

### Keyword & competitor research

Pulls real volume and difficulty and finds the queries you can realistically win, so content targets terms that matter.

### Content that ranks and gets cited

Writes landing pages and articles structured for both readers and AI answer engines, with automatic internal linking into a topic cluster.

### Search Console grounding

Reads your real GSC performance and suggests evidence-backed updates, so the work compounds instead of going stale.

### Human-in-the-loop, always

Every change lands in Cursor’s diff pane for you to accept. No autopilot, no AI slop published behind your back.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do I add SEO to Cursor?

Install the SEOAgent Skill: run `npm install -g @seoagent-official/seoagent`, then `seoagent init` in your project. Cursor’s Agent detects the Skill automatically — then just ask it to "audit my site" to start.

### Is the SEOAgent Skill for Cursor free?

Yes. The Skill is free forever and runs locally. An optional cloud tier ($49 per site per month) adds Google Search Console analysis, competitor research, and cloud review of suggested updates.

### Does it publish content automatically?

No. SEOAgent proposes every change as a diff you review in Cursor and approve. It writes files into your repo or CMS, but you decide what ships — it is intentionally not an auto-publishing blog spammer.

### What can Cursor actually do with the Skill?

Run technical SEO audits, fix metadata/schema/canonicals/internal links in your source, research keywords and competitors, and write optimized landing pages and articles into your codebase — grounded in your Search Console data once connected.

### Does it work with Claude Code and Codex too?

Yes. The same Skill works in Claude Code and Codex, plus a standalone CLI. See the SEO Skill for Claude Code and for Codex.
