What This Agent Does
Your site is fast and your content is good, but you’re stuck on page 2 of Google. You’ve heard about Core Web Vitals and schema markup but don’t know where to start. Your competitors rank higher even though your product is better.

Capabilities
Technical SEO Audit
Get a comprehensive health check of your site’s technical foundation. The agent crawls your site structure, checks indexation status, analyzes page speed metrics, reviews mobile optimization, assesses Core Web Vitals (LCP, FID, CLS), and reviews schema markup implementation. You’ll receive a prioritized list of issues by severity.
Example: The agent identifies 23 critical issues including missing canonical tags, slow image loading (LCP 4.2s), and crawl errors preventing Google from indexing 15% of your pages.
Content Optimization
Improve every page’s on-page SEO factors. The agent analyzes title tags and meta descriptions, reviews header hierarchy (H1-H6), audits internal linking structure, evaluates content quality and depth, and assesses E-E-A-T signals (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trust). You’ll get specific recommendations for each page.
