Common Patterns

Pattern 1: Monthly SEO Health Check

#!/bin/bash
# monthly-seo-check.sh

DOMAIN="example.com"
DATE=$(date +%Y-%m)
REPORT_DIR="./reports/${DATE}"

mkdir -p "$REPORT_DIR"

# Run core audits
/technical-seo "$DOMAIN" --output json > "$REPORT_DIR/technical.json"
/content-audit --scope full --output json > "$REPORT_DIR/content.json"
/serp-monitor --keywords "$(cat keywords.txt)" --output json > "$REPORT_DIR/rankings.json"

# Generate summary
echo "✓ Monthly SEO health check complete"
echo "  Reports saved to: $REPORT_DIR"

Pattern 2: Competitor Monitoring

// competitor-monitor.js
const competitors = ['competitor1.com', 'competitor2.com', 'competitor3.com'];

async function monitorCompetitors() {
  for (const competitor of competitors) {
    const gaps = await executeCommand('/competitor-gap', {
      competitors: [competitor],
      type: 'all',
      output: 'json'
    });
    
    // Alert on new opportunities
    if (gaps.backlink_gap.new_links > 10) {
      notify(`${competitor} gained ${gaps.backlink_gap.new_links} new backlinks`);
    }
    
    if (gaps.topic_gap.new_topics.length > 5) {
      notify(`${competitor} covered ${gaps.topic_gap.new_topics.length} new topics`);
    }
  }
}

// Run weekly
setInterval(monitorCompetitors, 7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);

Pattern 3: Content Brief Automation

# content-brief-automation.py
import subprocess
import json
import os

def generate_briefs(keywords_file):
    """Generate content briefs for a list of keywords"""
    with open(keywords_file, 'r') as f:
        keywords = [line.strip() for line in f]
    
    output_dir = './content-briefs/'
    os.makedirs(output_dir, exist_ok=True)
    
    for keyword in keywords:
        result = subprocess.run(
            ['/content-brief', keyword, '--output', 'md'],
            capture_output=True,
            text=True
        )
        
        # Save brief to file
        safe_filename = keyword.replace(' ', '-').lower()
        with open(f'{output_dir}/{safe_filename}.md', 'w') as f:
            f.write(result.stdout)
        
        print(f'✓ Generated brief for: {keyword}')

# Usage
generate_briefs('target-keywords.txt')

Pattern 4: Automated Page Speed Monitoring

#!/bin/bash
# page-speed-monitor.sh

URLS_FILE="critical-pages.txt"
THRESHOLD=2.5  # seconds
ALERT_EMAIL="${ALERT_EMAIL}"

while IFS= read -r url; do
  result=$(/page-speed-seo "$url" --output json)
  lcp=$(echo "$result" | jq -r '.core_web_vitals.lcp')
  
  if (( $(echo "$lcp > $THRESHOLD" | bc -l) )); then
    echo "⚠ Slow page detected: $url (LCP: ${lcp}s)"
    # Send alert
    echo "Page $url has LCP of ${lcp}s (threshold: ${THRESHOLD}s)" | \
      mail -s "Page Speed Alert" "$ALERT_EMAIL"
  fi
done < "$URLS_FILE"

Troubleshooting

Command Not Found

If commands are not recognized:

# Verify installation path
ls -la ~/.claude/skills/seo-content-marketing/

# Re-register the skill
/read ~/.claude/skills/seo-content-marketing/SKILL.md

# Check command availability
/help seo

API Rate Limits

If you encounter rate limit errors:

# config.yaml
rate_limits:
  requests_per_minute: 30
  retry_attempts: 3
  retry_delay: 5  # seconds

Missing Dependencies

Some commands require external tools:

# Install Screaming Frog (for comprehensive crawls)
# Download from: https://www.screamingfrog.co.uk/seo-spider/

# Install Node.js dependencies (if using programmatic access)
npm install

# Install Python dependencies (for automation scripts)
pip install -r requirements.txt

Slow Performance

For large sites, optimize performance:

# Use shallow depth for quick checks
/content-audit --scope blog --depth quick

# Limit crawl pages
/technical-seo example.com --max-pages 500

# Run audits incrementally
/content-audit --scope specific --filter "published-last-month"

Data Source Authentication

If API authentication fails:

# Verify API keys are set
echo $SEMRUSH_API_KEY
echo $AHREFS_API_KEY

# Test API connectivity
curl "https://api.semrush.com/?type=domain_ranks&key=${SEMRUSH_API_KEY}&export_columns=Dn,Rk&domain=example.com"

# Update config with fallback sources
# config.yaml
data_sources:
  keyword_research: both  # will fall back if primary fails

Export/Report Issues

If reports aren't generating correctly:

# Check output directory permissions
mkdir -p ~/seo-reports
chmod 755 ~/seo-reports

# Specify absolute path
/content-audit --output json --export ~/seo-reports/audit-$(date +%Y%m%d).json

# Verify JSON validity
jq . ~/seo-reports/audit-20260511.json

Advanced Usage

Custom Workflows

Create custom workflows by chaining commands:

# custom-workflows/ecommerce-seo.yaml
name: E-commerce SEO Sprint
steps:
  - command: /technical-seo
    args: { scope: product-pages }
  - command: /keyword-research
    args: { depth: deep, intent: transactional }
  - command: /competitor-gap
    args: { type: topic }
  - command: /content-calendar
    args: { focus: product-content }

Integration with CI/CD

# .github/workflows/seo-check.yml
name: SEO Check
on:
  schedule:
    - cron: '0 0 * * 1'  # Weekly on Monday
jobs:
  seo-audit:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Run Technical SEO Audit
        run: |
          /technical-seo ${{ secrets.PRODUCTION_URL }} --output json > seo-audit.json
      - name: Check for Critical Issues
        run: |
          critical=$(jq '.findings[] | select(.severity=="critical") | length' seo-audit.json)
          if [ "$critical" -gt 0 ]; then
            echo "❌ Found $critical critical SEO issues"
            exit 1
          fi

Best Practices

1. Run audits regularly — schedule monthly technical and content audits
2. Track progress — use --output json for historical comparison
3. Prioritize by impact — focus on 🔴 critical issues first
4. Automate monitoring — set up SERP tracking and competitor alerts
5. Integrate with analytics — combine audit data with GA4/GSC data
6. Document changes — maintain a changelog of SEO improvements
7. Test before production — validate fixes on staging environments
8. Use workflows — multi-step workflows ensure nothing is missed
