SEO Project Setup Agent Skill

Interview once and save your site's goals, positioning, competitors, and key pages to your OpenSEO project context.

Run this skill in your agent
>/seo-project-setup

The SEO Project Setup Agent Skill gives your agent the context it needs before doing SEO work for a site.

Your agent asks about the website, goals, positioning, competitors, and key pages once, then saves the answers to your project's context in OpenSEO.

Every other skill reads that context, so does SAM in the app, and you can edit it yourself on the project's Context settings page. It carries across sessions, machines, and agents.

What this skill helps your agent do

  • Confirm the right OpenSEO project and read what is already saved.
  • Save the basics: what the business does, the current goal, positioning, and writing preferences.
  • Save competitors and the pages that matter as structured entries.
  • Connect Google Search Console, or organize CSV exports if you prefer files.
  • Recommend the next OpenSEO Agent Skill to run.

When to use it

Use this skill when you are starting SEO work for a website, client, product, or content program.

Re-run it whenever the goal changes, or to fill in whatever another skill left empty.

What you get back

A short project summary: sites in scope, goals, positioning, competitors and key pages saved, Search Console status, what is still missing, and the workflow to run next.

How to get the best result

  • Share your primary domain and any important subdomains.
  • Tell the agent what SEO should support: signups, leads, revenue, awareness, or recovery from a traffic drop.
  • Provide positioning notes, competitor names, or customer context if you have them.
  • Name the pages that actually make you money, and any studies, tools, or templates worth links.
  • Mention voice preferences and words to avoid if the agent will draft content.
  • Connect Search Console, or add exports when a native connection is not an option.

Use it with OpenSEO MCP

Set up OpenSEO MCP so your agent can read and write project context and use live SEO data in later workflows. The two context tools are free.
