Key takeaways
Use this page as a Claude skill finder: every checker and audit skill below is a free .md you can download, check, and run. Looking for SEO software for Claude? You do not need a paid platform, these skills turn Claude into the software. A Claude SEO skill is a pre-built system prompt, packaged as a .md file, that you drop into a Claude Project. Each Claude SEO skill turns Claude into a specialist for one specific SEO task (a trust auditor, a content gap finder, a title tag optimiser, an AI visibility checker) without you needing to write the prompt yourself.
They're the same frameworks we use at StudioHawk across 500+ client campaigns, packaged as .md files anyone can use. No API keys, no code, no subscription.
To use Claude for SEO audits, paste your crawl export, Search Console data, or page HTML into Claude, then run a skill that handles the analysis. Claude reads the data, ranks the issues by impact, and writes the fixes. The fastest way is to chain the audit skills below into one workflow: score, technical crawl, cannibalisation, internal links, content gaps, trust, and AI visibility. Our full 8-step guide to using Claude for SEO audits walks through each step with the skill that runs it.

Get the promptEvery Claude SEO skill is just a .md file with two parts. Frontmatter at the top tells Claude when to use the skill. A system-prompt body below the frontmatter tells Claude how to do the task.
--- name: technical-seo-audit description: Audits the technical SEO of a website. Trigger when the user pastes a URL or asks for a technical SEO check. --- # Technical SEO Audit You are a technical SEO specialist. When the user gives you a URL, fetch the page and check: 1. Title tag (length, keyword match) 2. Meta description (length, relevance) 3. Heading structure (one H1, sensible H2/H3 hierarchy) 4. Canonical tag (self-referencing, correct format) 5. Schema markup (presence, validity, type) 6. Open Graph and Twitter cards 7. Internal links (count, anchor text quality) 8. Image alt text (coverage, descriptive) 9. Page speed signals (heavy assets, render-blocking scripts) 10. Mobile responsiveness signals Return a scored audit out of 100 with the three highest-impact fixes ranked by effort.
Claude reads the frontmatter, recognises when the skill is relevant (the user pastes a URL, asks for a technical audit), and applies the body as its system prompt for the task. No setup, no API calls, no plugins. Just a file in a folder.
Every skill in this library follows the same pattern. The frontmatter changes (different trigger conditions), and the body changes (different SEO specialism), but the install is identical. Download the .md, drop it in your Claude skills folder, restart Claude. Sixty seconds. The format is the same one Anthropic announced for Claude skills, just specialised for SEO. For the deeper concept walkthrough, read what are Claude SEO skills.
Claude is not the only LLM with reusable instruction packages. Here is how a Claude SEO skill compares to the alternatives.
The short version: a Claude SEO skill is the most portable, the most version-control-friendly, and the cheapest. The trade-off is you have to manage the .md file yourself rather than relying on OpenAI's GPT Store or Google's Gemini Gallery.
Paste your crawl export, Search Console data, or page HTML into Claude, then run an audit skill from this page. Claude.ai analyses the data you give it, and Claude Code can fetch live pages. The fastest approach is to chain the skills into one workflow. See our 8-step guide to using Claude for SEO audits.
There is no single best Claude SEO checker. The strongest setup is a stack of focused skills: Website Score for triage, Screaming Frog Analyser for the technical crawl, AI Visibility Check for AEO, and Google Trust Check for E-E-A-T. Every checker on this page is free and installs in 60 seconds.
Yes. Every skill on this page works as a free Claude SEO checking tool or analysis tool. Instead of paying for SEO checking software, you run these .md skills inside Claude: Website Score and Screaming Frog Analyser for technical analysis, Content Gap and Cannibalization Detector for content analysis, and AI Visibility Check for AI search. You get the same output as paid analysis tools, with no subscription.
A Claude SEO skill is a prompt plus metadata that tells Claude when to use it automatically. A plain prompt is just text you paste. Skills install once and trigger when the conversation matches. Prompts you re-paste every time.
No. Claude Free runs most skills fine. Claude Pro helps when you are auditing long pages, running multiple skills back-to-back, or working with bigger context. Either way, no API keys and no per-call fees.
Yes. Every skill is a .md file. Open it, copy the body, paste it as a system prompt or custom instruction in ChatGPT, Gemini, or any LLM that accepts a custom system prompt. The skill works the same way, just installed differently.
GEO is Generative Engine Optimisation: optimising for AI search like ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity. AEO is Answer Engine Optimisation: optimising for direct answers in search (Google's version is AI Overviews). Several skills in this library check both, including AI Visibility Check, AI Citation Monitor, and Answer Engine Readiness Audit. For the strategy behind it, see our guide on optimising for ChatGPT and Perplexity.
Three options. (1) Click Download Skill on any landing page and drop the .md into ~/.claude/skills/. (2) Run the curl one-liner shown on each skill page from your terminal. (3) Skip the install entirely and paste the skill body directly into Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini. For a deeper walkthrough, see our guide on what Claude SEO skills are and how they work.
Hawk Academy is free SEO education by StudioHawk, a 120-person SEO agency. The skills bring practitioners to the library. Some eventually become workshop attendees or agency clients. The skills are the same frameworks we run internally on client campaigns, so we are not giving up an edge: we are proving we know what we are doing.
Yes. Every skill is a plain .md file. Open it, edit the body, save. Common customisations: add your own brand voice rules, swap our default checks for industry-specific ones, change the output format. The library is a starting point, not a black box.
