Audit Content for Search and AI Answers

Use SEO MCP technical evidence to audit whether content is crawlable, internally discoverable, machine-readable, and supported by clear page signals.

SEO MCP can audit the technical foundations that help content appear in search and AI-generated answers. It can verify crawl access, response status, canonicals, internal discovery, structured-data presence, headings, metadata, and page experience. It cannot guarantee a ranking or citation.

What current guidance emphasizes

Google’s guidance for generative AI search continues to build on normal SEO: create useful, original content; make important information available as text; maintain crawlability and internal links; provide a good page experience; and ensure structured data matches visible content.

For the editorial review, answer the visitor's actual question early, use headings that describe the next decision, and support product claims with a current example or source. These are reader-value checks, not a separate formula for AI search.

Technical audit prompt

Audit the latest crawl for content discoverability and machine readability.

Check:
- successful HTML responses
- canonical presence and consistency
- title, description, H1, and heading structure
- crawl depth and internal-link counts
- JSON-LD presence
- Open Graph and Twitter Card signals
- response performance and Core Web Vitals where available

Group issues by page template. Do not score content quality from word count alone.

Page-level review

For an important page, ask the agent to combine get_page_details with internal-link and performance context.

Question	Relevant SEO MCP evidence
Can crawlers access the page?	Status, content type, final URL
Is the preferred URL clear?	Canonical presence and match
Is the topic described consistently?	Title, description, H1
Can the site discover it?	Depth and internal links
Is machine-readable context present?	JSON-LD count
Is the experience likely to need review?	Response time and CWV records

What requires human review

Crawler fields cannot determine whether a page:

Adds original experience or evidence.
Fully satisfies the searcher’s task.
Contains accurate expert analysis.
Deserves to be cited over competing sources.
Uses a valid author identity and review process.
Has structured data that accurately represents every visible claim.

Use technical evidence to find candidates, then review the actual content.

AI Visibility can answer a different question: whether the brand appears in monitored AI answers and which sources those answers cite. Use the AI Visibility investigation to inspect those records. A mention trend is observational; it does not prove that a specific page edit caused the change.

Avoid keyword spam

Do not repeat “SEO MCP” in every heading or sentence. Use the term where it identifies the product or the user’s task. Natural related language—technical SEO, crawl data, AI agents, MCP tools, links, images, and Core Web Vitals—provides clearer context than mechanical repetition.
