Lightweight CLI that runs a technical SEO audit for a URL and outputs prioritized, actionable recommendations.

SEO Audit Agent

Lightweight CLI that runs a technical SEO audit for a URL and outputs prioritized, actionable recommendations similar to what you would get from a senior technical SEO specialist. The tool relies only on the Python standard library-no external dependencies required.

Quick start

python3 -m seo_agent https://example.com --goal "traffic growth"

• If --goal is omitted, the agent asks for your main objective before auditing.
• If you hit SSL certificate errors, re-run with --insecure (only when you trust the site).

Requirements

• Python 3.9 or newer
• Network access to fetch the target page and robots.txt

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ShubhenduVaid/seo-agent.git
cd seo-agent
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip  # no additional packages required
python3 -m pip install -e .

Usage

python3 -m seo_agent <url> [--goal "primary objective"] [--insecure]

Examples:

• python3 -m seo_agent https://example.com --goal "traffic growth"
• python3 -m seo_agent https://example.com --insecure

For backward compatibility you can also run python3 seo_agent.py ... from the project root.

The report is grouped by severity:

1. Critical Issues - fix immediately (high impact)
2. Important Optimizations - fix soon (medium impact)
3. Recommended Enhancements - nice to have

Each issue includes what is wrong, why it matters, step-by-step fixes, expected outcome, and how to validate.

What it checks

• Site speed signals: page weight, script count, render-blocking scripts, image sizing, lazy-loading hints (LCP/FID/CLS risk proxies)
• Crawlability: robots.txt availability/content, sitemap discovery, meta robots directives
• Mobile optimization: viewport tag and lazy-loading coverage
• Security: HTTPS presence and HSTS header hint
• Structured data: JSON-LD detection
• Internal linking: ratio of internal/external links, low internal link coverage
• Duplicate control: canonical tag presence and follow directives
• Meta and headings: title quality, description presence, H1 usage, hreflang x-default hint

Sample output (truncated)

Primary goal: traffic growth
URL audited: https://example.com

1. Critical Issues - fix immediately (high impact)
- Title tag missing
  What: No <title> found; search results will lack a meaningful headline and relevance signal.
  Fix steps:
    - Add a concise, descriptive <title> (50-60 chars) targeting the primary keyword.
    - Place the most important terms first and keep branding at the end.
    - Avoid duplicating titles across pages; keep them unique.
  Outcome: Stronger relevance signals and improved CTR from SERPs.
  Validate: View source to confirm the title; check Search Console HTML improvements for duplicates.

Development

Run the CLI locally while iterating:

python3 -m seo_agent https://example.com --goal "traffic growth"

Run tests:

python3 -m unittest discover -v

The project intentionally has no external dependencies. If you add new functionality, prefer the standard library when possible and include coverage (unit or integration tests) for new logic.

Project layout (key modules):

• seo_agent/cli.py - CLI argument parsing and entry point
• seo_agent/audit.py - auditing logic and checks
• seo_agent/analyzer.py - HTML parser used by audits
• seo_agent/network.py - network helpers (fetching, robots, normalization)
• seo_agent/reporting.py - report rendering and formatting
• tests/ - unit tests for core utilities and checks

Packaging and release

Build a wheel/sdist locally (requires build if not already installed):

python3 -m pip install --upgrade build
python3 -m build

This produces artifacts under dist/. Upload to PyPI with twine or your preferred publisher. Update the version in seo_agent/__init__.py and pyproject.toml before tagging a release.

GitHub Actions CI:

• Pull requests and main branch: installs in editable mode and runs python -m unittest discover -v.
• Tag pushes matching v*: builds sdist/wheel and publishes to PyPI using OIDC (pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish). Configure PyPI trusted publisher for the repo before tagging.
