What it does

SEO Vs Ads is an agent skill from Ryze-AI-Adgent/open-seo-mcp-skills. Find money leaking between search ads and SEO — queries you pay for while already ranking organically, and paid queries with no organic coverage. Use when asked "am I paying for clicks I'd get free", "brand bidding waste", "SEO vs ads overlap", or "cut wasted ad spend with SEO".

Its SKILL.md is about 590 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 and Paid advertising. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Free SEO MCP server + open-source SEO and GEO skills for Claude: keyword research, rank tracking, audits, backlinks, AI visibility on your real GSC/GA4/ads data. claude mcp add…. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked am I paying for clicks Id get free
  • Brand bidding waste
  • SEO vs ads overlap
  • Cut wasted ad spend with SEO

Example prompts

  • “am I paying for clicks I”
  • “brand bidding waste”
  • “SEO vs ads overlap”
  • “/seo-vs-ads”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Paid search terms. google_adsrunRawGaql on the default account — search terms report, last 90 days: term, impressions, clicks, cost…
  2. Organic positions. google_search_console__runRawSearchAnalytics, dimension ["query"], same window.
  3. Join on query and bucket
  4. Estimate savings. For the double-paying bucket: spend × the organic click-capture you'd retain (be conservative, ~50–70% for position 1…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 81ac50e. 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:

    • claude

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • connector.get-ryze.ai

    Also links to:

    • get-ryze.ai

    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

SEO Vs Ads loads about 594 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 73 tokens; SKILL.md has 273 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~73
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~594

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.

Find money leaking between search ads and SEO — queries you pay for while already ranking organically, and paid queries with no organic coverage. Use when asked "am I paying for clicks I'd get free", "brand bidding waste", "SEO vs ads overlap", or "cut wasted ad spend with SEO".

SEO vs Ads

Requires

The free Ryze MCP connector (https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp). Claude Code: claude mcp add ryze --transport http https://connector.get-ryze.ai/mcp. claude.ai / Desktop / Cursor: add it as a custom connector with the same URL. Setup: https://www.get-ryze.ai/how-to-connect-claude-to-google-meta-ads-mcp

The report subscription tools can't do: it needs your ads account AND your Search Console together. Both are on the Ryze MCP.

Workflow

  1. Paid search terms. google_ads__runRawGaql on the default account — search terms report, last 90 days: term, impressions, clicks, cost, conversions. (GAQL shape via native__get_provider_docs, provider google_ads, if needed.)
  2. Organic positions. google_search_console__runRawSearchAnalytics, dimension ["query"], same window.
  3. Join on query and bucket:
    • Double-paying — organic position ≤ 3 AND paid spend on the same term. Especially brand terms with no competing advertisers (check top-of-page rate / competition). Sum the spend: that's the number for the headline.
    • Defensible — organic ≤ 3 but competitors bid on the term (paid presence may be justified; say so honestly)
    • Paid-only winners — terms converting in ads with no organic ranking → the SEO content roadmap, pre-validated by money
    • Organic-only converters — strong organic queries with no ad coverage → scale candidates if ads team wants volume
  4. Estimate savings. For the double-paying bucket: spend × the organic click-capture you'd retain (be conservative, ~50–70% for position 1 brand terms; label it an estimate).

Output

Headline first: "$X/quarter going to clicks you already rank #1 for." Then the four buckets as tables (term, cost, conversions, organic position), the savings estimate with its assumptions stated, and a short action list: exact negatives to add, exact pages to build.

Fallback

If only one of the two accounts is connected, run what's possible, and name the missing connection instead of guessing at the other half.
