Content Brief (SEO)
Builds a writer-ready SEO content brief from the live SERP for your target keyword plus your own Search Console and keyword data.
Marketing & SEOIntermediate★ 189⑂ 2AI score 8/10Last updated: Aug 31, 2026
What it does
- Pulls the live Google top 10 for the target keyword — titles, URLs, SERP features (featured snippet, PAA, video) — via DataForSEO MCP tools, falling back to web search if those aren't available.
- Reads the top 3 ranking pages to map structure, depth and angle: the table stakes everyone covers and the gap nobody does.
- Adds secondary keywords and question variants with volumes from Google Ads Keyword Ideas / Historical Metrics.
- Mines raw Search Console analytics for queries you already get impressions on and existing pages to internal-link from — and flags when you should expand an existing page instead of writing a new one.
- Outputs: target + secondary keywords with volumes, search intent and required format, title/meta under 60/155 chars, H2/H3 outline with per-section notes, questions to answer, differentiating angle, 3–5 internal links with anchors, and a target word count matched to the ranking median.
Who it's for
- Content marketers and in-house SEOs planning blog posts or landing pages
- Agencies producing briefs to hand to freelance writers
- Growth teams already running DataForSEO, Google Ads and Search Console MCP servers
Examples
- "Give me an outline to rank for 'best crm for startups'" → SERP-based H2/H3 structure with PAA questions folded in.
- "What should this article cover?" → table stakes from the top 3 competitors plus the unclaimed angle and a target length.
- Run before writing anything new → surfaces an existing page already picking up impressions and recommends expanding it instead.

git clone https://github.com/Ryze-AI-Adgent/open-seo-mcp-skills.git /tmp/open-seo-mcp-skills && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills && cp -r /tmp/open-seo-mcp-skills/skills/content-brief ~/.claude/skills/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.

git clone https://github.com/Ryze-AI-Adgent/open-seo-mcp-skills.git - Create the skills folder:
