What it does

SEO Aeo Best Practices is an agent skill from sanity-io/agent-toolkit, published by the product's own GitHub organization. SEO and AEO best practices for metadata, Open Graph, sitemaps, robots.txt, hreflang, JSON-LD structured data, EEAT, and content optimized for search engines and AI answer surfaces. Use this skill when implementing page SEO, technical SEO, schema markup, international SEO, AI-overview readiness, or improving content for Google, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and similar assistants.

Its SKILL.md is about 470 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/aeo-considerations.md`, `references/eeat-principles.md` and `references/structured-data.md`).

It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Technical SEO, AI search optimization and Schema markup. It works with OpenAI and Perplexity. The repository describes itself as: Collection of resources to help AI agents build better with Sanity. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Implementing page SEO
  • International SEO
  • AI-overview readiness
  • Improving content for Google

Example prompts

  • “/seo-aeo-best-practices”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3fe6c8a. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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 Aeo Best Practices loads about 467 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.9k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 163 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~467
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.9k

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.

When to Apply

Reference these guidelines when:

  • Implementing metadata and Open Graph tags
  • Creating sitemaps and robots.txt
  • Adding JSON-LD structured data
  • Optimizing content for featured snippets
  • Preparing content for AI assistants (ChatGPT, Perplexity, etc.)

Core Concepts

SEO (Search Engine Optimization)

Optimizing content to rank well in traditional search results (Google, Bing).

AEO (Answer Engine Optimization)

Optimizing content to be selected as authoritative answers by AI systems.

EEAT (Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness)

  • references/structured-data.md — JSON-LD patterns (Article, FAQ, Breadcrumb, Product)
  • references/technical-seo.md — Technical SEO checklist (metadata, sitemaps, hreflang, robots.txt)
