Open-source SEO + GEO skills for Claude on a free SEO MCP server (the Ryze connector) — keyword research, rank tracking, site audits, backlinks, competitor gaps, AI visibility — running on your own Search Console, Analytics and ads data through the Ryze MCP, with DataForSEO built in for the data Google won't give you.
No subscription for the tool. No markup on API calls. The skills are MIT — take them, change them, ship them.
Why this exists
"Open source SEO tools" are having a moment. Look closer and most are a UI over the DataForSEO API: you either bring your own key and pay per request, or pay a hosted subscription plus a ~28% markup on every data call. The code is free; the data never was.
This takes the opposite approach:
- Your rankings come from your actual Google Search Console — real positions, real clicks, not estimates
- Your traffic comes from your actual GA4 — including AI referral traffic (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini)
- Your keyword volumes come from Google Ads keyword planner data
- Competitor keywords, backlinks and SERPs come from DataForSEO, already wired into the Ryze connector — no key to manage, no markup layer to build
- Ahrefs and Semrush are also connectable if you already pay for them

What it tells the agent
The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.
--- name: ai-visibility description: Measure real AI-engine visibility — traffic from ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini and which pages they cite — from actual GA4 referral data, not prompt sampling. Use when asked "AI visibility", "GEO/AEO check", "do LLMs cite us", "traffic from ChatGPT", or "how do we show up in AI search". --- # AI Visibility ## Requires The free Ryze MCP connector (`https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp`). Claude Code: `claude mcp add ryze --transport http https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp`. claude.ai / Desktop / Cursor: add it as a custom connector with the same URL. Setup: https://www.get-ryze.ai/how-to-connect-claude-to-google-meta-ads-mcp Every "AI visibility tracker" samples prompts and guesses. GA4 records the actual clicks AI engines send. Measure the real thing first, then diagnose. ## Workflow 1. **Traffic by engine.** `google_analytics__getAiTrafficByEngine` — sessions per AI source (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude, Copilot...), current vs previous period. 2. **Trend.** `google_analytics__getAiTrafficDaily` — is AI traffic growing, and did anything spike (a spike = something started citing you; find it). 3. **Cited pages.** `google_analytics__getAiLandingPages` — which URLs AI engines actually send people to. These are your proven-citable pages. 4. **Referral detail.** `google_analytics__getAIReferrals` for source-level detail and conversions — is AI traffic converting better or worse than organic. 5. **Diagnose the winners.** Read the top 2–3 cited pages (fetch them). Note the pattern: direct answers high on the page, stats/definitions, clean headings, schema. That pattern is the citation recipe for this site. 6. **Find the misses.** Cross-reference with `google_search_console__runRawSearchAnalytics`: pages with strong organic queries but zero AI referrals — candidates to restructure toward the citation recipe from step 5. ## Output Verdict (AI traffic share of organic, trend, top engine), then: engine table, cited-pages table with conversions, the citation recipe observed on winning pages, and a top-5 list of pages to restructure. Keep it concrete — name the pages and the exact change. ## Fallback If the GA4 AI-traffic tools aren't available in the workspace, build the same report with `google_analytics__runRawReport` filtered on `sessionSource` matching known AI referrers (chatgpt.com, perplexity.ai, gemini.google.com, claude.ai, copilot.microsoft.com).
