What it does

Nextjs SEO Indexing is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Fix SEO indexing issues, crawl budget problems, and Search Console coverage errors for Next.js apps. Covers canonical tags, noindex audits, sitemap health, static rendering, and internal linking.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k 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 Technical SEO and On-page SEO. It works with Next.js and Google Search Console. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Technical SEO
  • Tasks that involve On-page SEO

Example prompts

  • “/nextjs-seo-indexing”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Canonical Audit
  2. Noindex Audit
  3. Sitemap Health
  4. Static Rendering Verification
  5. Internal Linking Audit
  6. Redirect Audit
  7. robots.txt Check

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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:

    • curl
    • rg
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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

Nextjs SEO Indexing loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 471 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

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.

Next.js SEO Indexing & Crawl Budget Skill

Fix Google Search Console coverage issues, canonical problems, sitemap errors, and crawl budget waste in Next.js apps.


When to Use

  • Use when a Next.js site has Google Search Console coverage issues such as duplicate canonicals, accidental noindex, crawl waste, or discovered-but-not-indexed URLs.
  • Use when auditing sitemap, robots.txt, redirect, internal-linking, or static-rendering problems before an SEO release.
  • Use when you need framework-specific examples for Next.js App Router metadata, generateMetadata, robots.js, and sitemap routes.

Understanding Search Console Coverage States

StatusMeaningFix
Crawled – not indexedGoogle crawled but chose not to indexImprove content quality + canonical + internal links
Duplicate without canonicalMultiple URLs serve same content, no canonicalAdd explicit canonical to the preferred URL
Excluded by noindexnoindex tag presentRemove noindex if page should be indexed
Duplicate, Google chose different canonicalGoogle prefers a different URL than you specifiedAlign canonical with the URL Google naturally picks
Alternative page with proper canonicalCorrect — non-preferred duplicate pointing to canonicalExpected behavior, not a problem
Not found 404Page deleted or URL changedAdd redirect or restore page
Discovered – not indexedGoogle knows it exists but hasn't crawled itImprove internal linking + crawl budget
Page with redirectRedirect chain or redirect to wrong targetShorten redirect chain, verify destination

Step 1 — Canonical Audit

Next.js App Router (metadata export)
js
// app/blog/my-post/page.js
export const metadata = {
  title: 'My Post Title',
  alternates: {
    canonical: 'https://www.yourdomain.com/blog/my-post',
  },
};
Next.js App Router (generateMetadata)
js
export async function generateMetadata({ params }) {
  return {
    alternates: {
      canonical: `https://www.yourdomain.com/blog/${params.slug}`,
    },
  };
}
Common canonical mistakes to fix:
js
// ❌ WRONG — relative URL
canonical: '/blog/my-post'

// ❌ WRONG — missing trailing slash inconsistency  
// (pick one and stick with it sitewide)

// ✓ CORRECT — absolute URL, consistent scheme + subdomain
canonical: 'https://www.yourdomain.com/blog/my-post'

Step 2 — Noindex Audit

Find pages that are accidentally noindexed:

bash
# Search for noindex in metadata
rg -n --glob '*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx}' 'noindex|robots.*noindex' app pages

# Check layout.js — a noindex here affects ALL pages
grep -n "robots" app/layout.js

In Next.js App Router, robots in the root layout applies globally. Only set it there if you want the whole site affected.

js
// app/layout.js — only set robots if you need sitewide control
export const metadata = {
  // ✓ Allow indexing
  robots: { index: true, follow: true },
  // ❌ This would noindex the entire site:
  // robots: { index: false }
};

Step 3 — Sitemap Health

Verify sitemap routes return 200 + valid XML
bash
curl -sI https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml | grep -i "content-type\|status"
curl -s https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml | head -20
js
// app/sitemap.js
export default async function sitemap() {
  const baseUrl = 'https://www.yourdomain.com';
  
  // Static pages
  const staticPages = [
    { url: baseUrl, lastModified: new Date(), changeFrequency: 'daily', priority: 1.0 },
    { url: `${baseUrl}/about`, lastModified: new Date(), changeFrequency: 'monthly', priority: 0.8 },
  ];
  
  // Dynamic pages (fetch from DB or CMS)
  const posts = await getPosts(); // your data fetch
  const dynamicPages = posts.map(post => ({
    url: `${baseUrl}/blog/${post.slug}`,
    lastModified: new Date(post.updatedAt),
    changeFrequency: 'weekly',
    priority: 0.7,
  }));
  
  return [...staticPages, ...dynamicPages];
}
Multiple sitemaps (sitemap index)
js
// app/sitemap-tools/sitemap.js  
// app/sitemap-blog/sitemap.js
// Each returns an array of URL entries

Step 4 — Static Rendering Verification

Pages must be statically generated (or SSR with metadata in HTML) for Google to see SEO tags.

bash
# Check build output — pages should show ● (static) not λ (dynamic)
npm run build 2>&1 | grep -E "○|●|λ|/blog|/tools"
text
○  /about             (static)
●  /blog/[slug]       (SSG)  ← good
λ  /api/data          (serverless) ← expected for APIs

If important pages are λ (fully dynamic with no static generation), add:

js
// app/blog/[slug]/page.js
export async function generateStaticParams() {
  const posts = await getPosts();
  return posts.map(post => ({ slug: post.slug }));
}

Step 5 — Internal Linking Audit

Pages with zero internal links are rarely indexed. Every important page should be reachable from:

  1. Homepage or navigation
  2. A sitemap
  3. At least one other content page
bash
# Find pages that have no inbound links from other pages
# (manual check — grep for the slug across all files)
grep -r "/blog/my-orphan-post" --include="*.{js,ts,jsx,tsx,md}" . | grep -v "sitemap\|the-page-itself"

Step 6 — Redirect Audit

bash
# Find all redirects in Next.js config
grep -A 3 "redirects" next.config.js

# Check for redirect chains (A → B → C — should be A → C)
# Test a suspected chain:
curl -sI https://www.yourdomain.com/old-url | grep -i location
js
// next.config.js — keep redirects flat (no chains)
async redirects() {
  return [
    {
      source: '/old-url',
      destination: '/new-url', // Must NOT itself redirect
      permanent: true, // 308 for SEO
    },
  ];
}

Step 7 — robots.txt Check

bash
curl -s https://www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt
text
# ✓ Good
User-agent: *
Allow: /
Sitemap: https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

# ❌ Bad — disallows crawling of important content
Disallow: /blog/
Disallow: /tools/
js
// app/robots.js (Next.js App Router)
export default function robots() {
  return {
    rules: { userAgent: '*', allow: '/' },
    sitemap: 'https://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml',
  };
}

Indexing Checklist

  • All important pages have absolute canonical URLs
  • No important pages accidentally noindexed
  • Sitemap routes return 200 with valid XML
  • Sitemap submitted to Google Search Console
  • Important pages statically generated (●) in build output
  • No redirect chains (A→B→C should be A→C)
  • robots.txt allows important content
  • Every important page has ≥1 internal inbound link
  • generateStaticParams added for dynamic routes with known slugs

Limitations

  • Does not guarantee Google will index a page; final indexing decisions remain with the search engine.
  • Requires access to the codebase, deployed URLs, and ideally Google Search Console data for confident diagnosis.
  • Treat recommendations that change URL structure, redirects, or canonical policy as production-impacting and review them before deployment.
