Analytics: SEO Monitoring

Guides building a holistic SEO data analysis system. Covers four core metrics (indexing, traffic, keywords, backlinks), benchmark setup, article database, tool selection, traffic diversification, penalty recovery, and work document management.

When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1-2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.

Scope

  • Core metrics: Indexing, traffic, keywords, backlinks
  • Benchmark: Natural traffic baseline; trend comparison
  • Article database: Per-article performance tracking
  • Tool selection: GA4, GSC, SEO tools, analytics platforms
  • Traffic diversification: Healthy source mix
  • Penalty recovery: Algorithm impact, fix workflow
  • Work documents: Monthly records, responsibility tracking

AnalyzeSite issues; draft fix plan
Assess costDecide if fixes are worth it; sometimes abandoning is best

ParallelUse other channels for quality traffic; improve engagement data for Google
Data windowGoogle typically uses ~6 months of data for site quality
RecoveryOutcome is uncertain; do what you can, then wait
