What it does

Rank Audit is an agent skill from Houseofmvps/claude-rank. Full SEO/GEO/AEO/Citability/Content/Performance/Vertical/Security audit with auto-fix. Scans, reports, fixes, and verifies.

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering AI search optimization, Content marketing and Security review. The repository describes itself as: Claude Code plugin that tells you why your site won't get cited by AI — and fixes the discoverability files automatically. 170+ rules across 10 scanners. The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9f7a39c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • search.google.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Rank Audit loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 799 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~34
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Full Audit

Comprehensive search optimization audit across 8 dimensions. Finds issues AND fixes them.

Phase 1: Parallel Scan

Run all eight scanners:

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/seo-scanner.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/geo-scanner.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/aeo-scanner.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/citability-scorer.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/content-analyzer.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/perf-scanner.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/vertical-scanner.mjs <project-directory>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/security-scanner.mjs <project-directory>

Parse JSON output from each for findings and scores.

Phase 2: Report

Present findings grouped by all 8 categories with severity.

Show scores table:

CategoryScore

GEO--
AEO--

Overall--

Show summary: X critical, Y high, Z medium, W low across all categories.

Phase 3: Auto-Fix

For each finding, apply the appropriate fix:

SEO fixes (Edit tool on HTML files):

  • Missing meta description → add <meta name="description">
  • Missing OG tags → generate from page content
  • Missing H1 → add heading from page content

  • Missing robots.txt → run: node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/robots-analyzer.mjs generate <dir> <url>

GEO fixes:

  • Missing llms.txt → run: node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/llms-txt-generator.mjs <dir>

  • Missing referrer policy → add <meta name="referrer" content="strict-origin-when-cross-origin">
  • Unsafe target="_blank" → add rel="noopener noreferrer" to all target="_blank" links
  • Unsandboxed iframes → add sandbox attribute to <iframe> elements
  • Mixed content → fix http:// URLs to https:// in src, href, and content attributes

Content fixes:

  • Long paragraphs → break up paragraphs longer than 150 words into smaller chunks

  • Passive voice → rewrite passive voice constructions to active voice

Vertical fixes:

  • Missing Product schema → add Product JSON-LD for e-commerce product pages

  • Missing opening hours → add openingHoursSpecification to LocalBusiness schema

Phase 4: Verify

Re-run all eight scanners. Show before/after score comparison for each category.

Phase 5: Save History

bash
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> seo <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> geo <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> aeo <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> citability <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> content <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> performance <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> vertical <score>
node ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/tools/audit-history.mjs save <dir> security <score>

Phase 6: Content Strategy

Advise on content optimizations the scanner cannot automate:

  • Rewrite H2 headers as questions for AI citation
  • Add concise TL;DR summaries under key sections
  • Write in citation-ready format: factual, quotable, 134-167 word passages
  • Create comparison tables, statistics pages, glossaries

Guide link building: create link-worthy assets, guest posting, broken link building, digital PR, expert roundups.

Phase 8: Search Console Action Plan

After fixing issues, guide the user through submitting their improved site to search engines.

Google Search Console (GSC)
  1. Submit Sitemap — GSC → Sitemaps → Enter sitemap.xml → Submit
  2. Request Indexing for Money Pages — URL Inspection → paste each fixed page → Request Indexing (10-12/day limit, prioritize homepage, pricing, top landing pages)
  3. Check Index Coverage — Pages → review "Not indexed" list. "Crawled - currently not indexed" = needs content/links. "Discovered - currently not indexed" = needs internal links.
  4. Validate Robots.txt — Settings → Crawling → verify AI bots are unblocked
  5. Check Rich Results — Enhancements → review schema types. Test with Rich Results Test.
  6. Monitor Core Web Vitals — Experience → Core Web Vitals → fix "Poor" URLs (LCP, CLS, INP)
Bing Webmaster Tools
  1. Submit Sitemap — Configure Sitemaps → submit sitemap.xml URL
  2. Submit URLs — URL Submission → submit top pages (10,000/day limit)
  3. Enable IndexNow — Generate key at indexnow.org → place key file at domain root. Feeds Bing, Yandex, Seznam.
  4. Verify Robots.txt — Configure My Site → Block URLs → Robots.txt Tester. Bingbot feeds Copilot and ChatGPT Browse.
AI Search Verification
  1. Test AI Visibility (2-4 weeks after deploy) — search brand + keywords in ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Google AI Overviews
  2. Verify llms.txt — confirm https://yourdomain.com/llms.txt returns content
  3. Monitor AI Citations Weekly — track which pages get cited vs competitors in Perplexity and ChatGPT

Phase 9: Next Steps

Recommend which /claude-rank sub-commands to run next based on lowest scores. Prioritize by score:

  • If SEO < 60, run /claude-rank:rank-seo for detailed on-page analysis
  • If GEO < 60, run /claude-rank:rank-geo for AI visibility deep-dive
  • If AEO < 60, run /claude-rank:rank-aeo for snippet and voice optimization
  • If Citability < 50, run /claude-rank:rank-citability for detailed per-page citation breakdown across all 7 dimensions
  • If Content < 50, run /claude-rank:rank-content for readability analysis and thin page identification
  • If Performance < 50, run /claude-rank:rank-performance for CLS/LCP/blocking resource analysis
  • If Vertical < 50, run /claude-rank:rank-vertical for industry-specific schema and optimization
  • If Security < 50, run /claude-rank:rank-security for header analysis and CSP configuration

Present the user with a prioritized action checklist ordered by impact (lowest scores first).
