DataSEO SEO Research

Use this skill when a user wants SEO research through DataSEO MCP tools. The workflow should produce concise, decision-ready findings, not raw dumps.

Required Setup

Before calling Ahrefs-backed tools, ensure at least one CAPTCHA provider is configured:

• CAPSOLVER_API_KEY
• ANTICAPTCHA_API_KEY

AI query planning and content briefs improve when OPENROUTER_API_KEY is set. If it is missing, continue with non-AI SEO data and clearly mark AI output as unavailable.

Tool Selection

Choose the narrowest tool that answers the request:

Research Workflow

1. Normalize all domains to bare domains unless the user asks for an exact URL.
2. For one-domain audits, start with domain_overview, then deepen with

get_backlinks_list or keyword_generator only if needed.

1. For competitor work, use compare_domains first, then

backlink_opportunities for link-building next steps.

1. For content planning, use keyword_difficulty and keyword_generator; add

ai_search_queries or seo_content_brief when AI is configured.

1. Summarize findings by priority: opportunity, evidence, recommended action.

Output Format

Use this structure unless the user asks for something else:

## Summary
-One-sentence SEO readout.
 
## Findings
-Domain/keyword evidence with metrics.
 
## Opportunities
-Prioritized actions and why they matter.
 
## Next Steps
-3-5 concrete tasks.

Safety and Quality

• Do not claim live accuracy beyond the returned tool data.
• Do not scrape or bypass sites outside the MCP provider behavior.
• Do not expose API keys, CAPTCHA tokens, signed inputs, or raw provider

responses.

• Prefer comparisons and patterns over long raw tables.
• Mention when a domain or keyword appears missing from upstream data.

Examples

Input: "Analyze backlinks for suparank.io"

Action: Call get_backlinks_list(domain="suparank.io"), then summarize domain rating, referring domains, strongest sources, anchors, and link-building angles.

Input: "Compare suparank.io with its competitors"

Action: Call compare_domains(domains=["suparank.io", ...]), then report traffic/backlink differences and practical positioning notes.

Input: "Create a brief for AI SEO audit"

Action: Call seo_content_brief(keyword="AI SEO audit"); if AI is unavailable, fall back to keyword_difficulty and keyword_generator.
