Content SEO audit

Audit a post or page draft for whether it earns a ranking — not how it reads. This skill covers the content-level questions: does the post match a real search intent, does it use the words searchers use, does it demonstrate experience and trustworthiness, and does it give the searcher a reason to stay.

This is the third pass in the writing-quality chain. Run readability-check first (how the prose reads), metadata-check on the title and meta description, and this skill on the question of whether the content deserves the click. Technical SEO — sitemaps, structured data, canonicals, performance — belongs to astro-seo or static-seo.

Before you audit

You need two facts. If the user hasn't supplied them, derive them and state your assumption — a wrong assumption flagged is better than a silent one:

• The focus keyphrase: the exact query this post should rank for, in the words a searcher would type. If the user can't name one, derive the apparent keyphrase from the title and headings — and report that as the first finding, because a post written without a target query usually serves none.
• The audience and their problem: who lands on this page and what they were trying to fix when they searched.

The reader decides what quality is, not the writer. Every check below reduces to one question: does this content serve the person who typed the query better than what's already ranking?

What to check

Read the full post, then report on each criterion below. For every issue, quote the specific text, reference its location, explain the problem, and suggest a concrete fix.
