Claude SEO is a free SEO plugin for Claude Code. Give it any website and it runs a full SEO audit in 10 to 15 minutes, then hands you a clear action plan, sorted by what matters most.
It checks everything a good SEO consultant would:
- Technical SEO. Crawlability, indexing, sitemaps, robots.txt, redirects, page speed and Core Web Vitals.
- Content quality. E-E-A-T (experience, expertise, authority and trust), thin pages and topic coverage.
- Structured data. Finds, validates and writes Schema.org markup for rich results.
- AI search (GEO). How likely Google AI Overviews, AI Mode, ChatGPT, Perplexity and Gemini are to cite your pages.
- Local and e-commerce SEO. Google Business Profile, reviews, map pack, product pages and international sites.
Claude SEO is built from 26 sub-skills and 19 specialist agents, and up to 17 agents work on your site at the same time. Every recommendation explains why it matters and how you will know it worked.

How an audit works
- It learns your site. Claude SEO detects the type of business (SaaS, local, e-commerce, publisher or agency) and adjusts its checks.
- The team fans out. Up to 17 specialist agents audit the site in parallel: technical, content, schema, speed, AI search and more.
- You get a plan, not a pile of warnings. Findings are scored and sorted into a prioritized action plan. Each recommendation says what it is based on, what it depends on and how you will know it worked.
Reports are saved as Markdown, and /seo google report turns them into a polished PDF.

What is Claude SEO?
A free, open-source SEO audit tool that runs inside Claude Code. It checks technical SEO, Core Web Vitals, content quality, Schema.org structured data, AI search readiness, local SEO, e-commerce and international SEO, then gives you a prioritized action plan. It follows Google's own documentation, including the AI Optimization Guide.
Is it really free?
Yes. It is MIT licensed, with no per-site pricing, no usage limits and no tracking. You only need Claude Code. A few optional extensions connect to paid services where you bring your own account, but everything works without them.
Do I need API keys?
No. Claude SEO works out of the box. If you want real field data, you can connect free Google APIs (PageSpeed Insights, Chrome UX Report, Search Console and Google Analytics 4) with /seo google setup. Your keys stay on your machine.
How does it help with AI search like Google AI Overviews and ChatGPT?
Google says optimizing for AI search is still SEO, so Claude SEO starts with the basics that AI answers rely on: being indexed, fast and clear. Then /seo geo scores how easy your pages are to quote, checks that AI crawlers can reach them and looks at your brand's presence on Wikipedia, Reddit, YouTube and LinkedIn. /seo agentic checks how well AI agents can use your site.
Does it work on JavaScript sites like Next.js, React or Vue?
Yes. When a page needs JavaScript to show its content, Claude SEO opens it in a headless browser automatically, so single-page apps are audited as visitors see them.
How is it different from Screaming Frog or other SEO tools?
Crawlers like Screaming Frog crawl faster and deeper, and big SEO suites have their own backlink databases. Claude SEO does something else: it explains what it finds, sorts it by impact, covers AI search in depth and lets you ask follow-up questions in plain English. Many people use both.
Does my data leave my computer?
Claude SEO runs inside Claude Code, so the pages and data it analyzes are sent to Claude, Anthropic's model, the same as anything else you work on in Claude Code. Reports are saved as files on your machine. No SEO service or other third party sees your data unless you connect an extension or API yourself. Besides the site you audit, some checks read public sources such as Wikipedia, Reddit and Common Crawl. See PRIVACY.md for the full list.
Good to know: requirements, limits and uninstall
Requirements. Claude Code 1.0.33 or newer and Python 3.11 to 3.14. /seo setup installs the headless browser for you.
Cost of a full audit. Five agents that need more judgment run on Opus and the rest on Sonnet, so a full /seo audit uses more of your Claude plan than a single-page check. You can change any agent's model in its file under agents/.
Limits. Without Google API keys, Core Web Vitals are lab estimates and indexing is inferred from the page. Pages that load key content only after scrolling or clicking can give noisy results.
Uninstall. Installed as a plugin: /plugin uninstall claude-seo@agricidaniel-claude-seo. Installed manually:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/AgriciDaniel/claude-seo.git
bash claude-seo/uninstall.shExtensions
Optional add-ons that bring in more data. Claude SEO works fully without them.
- Banana: AI images for SEO, from social previews to blog heroes (Claude Banana)
- SE Ranking: your share of voice in ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI answers
- Profound: tracks when AI models cite your site
- Bing Webmaster: Bing data plus instant IndexNow submission
- Unlighthouse: Lighthouse scores for every page of your site
Setup guides live in extensions/.
