任务最佳实践

抓取与索引管理

  • 部署前始终在暂存环境中验证 robots.txt 更改
  • 每个 XML 站点地图文件保持在 50,000 个 URL 以下,并按内容类型拆分
  • 使用 Search Console 中的 URL 检查工具验证关键页面的索引状态
  • 定期监控抓取统计信息,以检测抓取频率的突然下降
  • 在每个可索引页面上实施自引用规范标签

内容与关键词优化

  • 每个页面针对一个主关键词,并用语义相关的术语加以支撑
  • 撰写标题标签时,将主关键词前置,同时保持对用户的吸引力
  • 保持内容更新节奏;高流量页面至少每季度更新一次
  • 使用结构化标题(H2/H3)将长篇内容拆分为易于浏览的章节
  • 确保每一篇内容都体现第一手经验或引用的专业知识(E-E-A-T)

性能与核心网页指标

  • 以 WebP 或 AVIF 格式提供图片,并显式标注宽度和高度属性以防止 CLS
  • 延迟加载非关键 JavaScript,并为首屏内容内联关键 CSS
  • 为静态资源使用 CDN,并启用 HTTP/2 或 HTTP/3
  • 为静态资源设置有意义的 cache-control 响应头(带版本号的资源至少 1 年)
  • 在真实环境中监控核心网页指标(CrUX 数据),而不仅仅是实验室测试

链接建设与权威性

  • 优先获取来自主题相关、权威网站的编辑性自然链接
  • 自然地多样化锚文本;避免过度优化精确匹配锚文本
  • 定期审查外链档案,并拒绝明显垃圾或有害的链接
  • 从高权威页面建立指向需要提升排名页面的内部链接
  • 跟踪来自外链的引荐流量,以衡量权威指标之外的真实价值

按技术分类的任务指引

Google Search Console

  • 使用 Performance 报告识别展示量高但点击率低的查询,以优化标题/描述
  • 查看 Index Coverage 以发现意外的 noindex 或抓取错误回归
  • 监控 Core Web Vitals 报告,了解各页面组的真实数据趋势
  • 每次部署后检查 Enhancements 报告中的结构化数据错误
  • 仅在紧急取消索引时使用 Removals 工具;永久排除优先使用 noindex

Google Analytics 4

  • 配置增强型衡量功能,用于跟踪滚动深度、出站点击和站内搜索
  • 设置自定义探索,将自然着陆页与转化事件关联起来
  • 使用筛选为自然搜索的获客报告来衡量 SEO 驱动的收入
  • 基于自然访客创建受众群体,用于再营销和行为分析
  • 将 GA4 与 Search Console 关联,实现查询与行为的联合报告

Lighthouse 和 PageSpeed Insights

  • 在无痕模式下、不启用任何扩展程序运行 Lighthouse,以获得干净的性能评分
  • 当评分出现分歧时,优先采用字段数据(CrUX)而非实验室数据
  • 优先处理「机会」部分中标记的阻塞渲染资源
  • 在部署流水线中使用 Lighthouse CI,防止性能回退
  • 分别对比移动端和桌面端报告,因为两者的阈值不同

Screaming Frog / Sitebulb

  • 配置自定义提取,抓取结构化数据、Open Graph 标签和自定义元字段
  • 在排查阶段使用列表模式审核一组特定的优先 URL,而非进行全站抓取
  • 安排定期抓取并对比报告,逐周发现回退问题
  • 导出重定向链和失效链接,在电子表格中批量修复
  • 将抓取数据与 Search Console 交叉比对,把抓取问题与排名下降关联起来

结构化数据标记(JSON-LD)

  • 实施结构化数据时,始终优先选择 JSON-LD 而非 Microdata 或 RDFa
  • 每次更改结构化数据后,都要用 Google 富媒体结果测试和 Schema.org 验证器双重验证
  • 每个网站至少要实现 Organization、BreadcrumbList 和 WebSite 结构化数据
  • 仅在内容真正匹配类型时才添加 FAQ、HowTo 或 Product 结构化数据
  • 为清晰起见,将 JSON-LD 代码块放在文档 head 中或紧接在 body 开始标签之后

执行 SEO 审计时的危险信号

  • 无正当理由的大规模 noindex:大量页面被设置为 noindex,通常意味着部署配置错误或 CMS 默认设置悄悄地将有价值的内容移出了索引
  • 超过两跳的重定向链:多跳重定向链会浪费抓取预算、稀释链接权重,并拖慢用户和爬虫的页面加载速度
  • 没有内部链接的孤岛页面:存在于站点地图中但无法通过内部导航到达的页面不太可能获得排名,并且可能预示着结构性问题
  • 多个页面之间的关键词蚕食:多个页面针对同一个主关键词,会分散排名信号,并让搜索引擎难以判断应该展示哪个页面
  • 缺失或重复的 canonical 标签:缺少 canonical 会引发重复内容问题,而错误的自我引用 canonical 则可能将信号集中到错误的 URL 上
  • 结构化数据与可见内容不匹配:Schema 标记所描述的内容实际上并不存在于页面上,这违反了 Google 的指南,并可能招致人工处罚
  • Core Web Vitals 在实测数据中持续不达标:仅在实验室环境中进行的优化如果无法改善 CrUX 实测指标,就意味着真实用户仍然在经历糟糕的性能
  • 有毒外链不断累积却缺乏监控:忽视垃圾入站链接可能导致算法处罚或人工处罚,从而重创自然搜索可见性

  • Ensure every piece of content demonstrates first-hand experience or cited expertise (E-E-A-T)

Performance and Core Web Vitals

  • Serve images in WebP or AVIF format with explicit width and height attributes to prevent CLS
  • Defer non-critical JavaScript and inline critical CSS for above-the-fold content
  • Use a CDN for static assets and enable HTTP/2 or HTTP/3
  • Set meaningful cache-control headers for static resources (at least 1 year for versioned assets)
  • Monitor Core Web Vitals in the field (CrUX data) not just lab tests

Link Building and Authority

  • Prioritize editorially earned links from topically relevant, authoritative sites
  • Diversify anchor text naturally; avoid over-optimizing exact-match anchors
  • Regularly audit the backlink profile and disavow clearly spammy or harmful links
  • Build internal links from high-authority pages to pages that need ranking boosts
  • Track referral traffic from backlinks to measure real value beyond authority metrics

Task Guidance by Technology

Google Search Console

  • Use Performance reports to identify queries with high impressions but low CTR for title/description optimization
  • Review Index Coverage to catch unexpected noindex or crawl-error regressions
  • Monitor Core Web Vitals report for field-data trends across page groups
  • Check Enhancements reports for structured data errors after each deployment
  • Use the Removals tool only for urgent deindexing; prefer noindex for permanent exclusions

Google Analytics 4

  • Configure enhanced measurement for scroll depth, outbound clicks, and site search
  • Set up custom explorations to correlate organic landing pages with conversion events
  • Use acquisition reports filtered to organic search to measure SEO-driven revenue
  • Create audiences based on organic visitors for remarketing and behavior analysis
  • Link GA4 with Search Console for combined query and behavior reporting

Lighthouse and PageSpeed Insights

  • Run Lighthouse in incognito mode with no extensions to get clean performance scores
  • Prioritize field data (CrUX) over lab data when scores diverge
  • Address render-blocking resources flagged under the Opportunities section first
  • Use Lighthouse CI in the deployment pipeline to prevent performance regressions
  • Compare mobile and desktop reports separately since thresholds differ

Screaming Frog / Sitebulb

  • Configure custom extraction to pull structured data, Open Graph tags, and custom meta fields
  • Use list mode to audit a specific set of priority URLs rather than full crawls during triage
  • Schedule recurring crawls and diff reports to catch regressions week over week
  • Export redirect chains and broken links for batch remediation in a spreadsheet
  • Cross-reference crawl data with Search Console to correlate crawl issues with ranking drops

Schema Markup (JSON-LD)

  • Always prefer JSON-LD over Microdata or RDFa for structured data implementation
  • Validate every schema change with both Google Rich Results Test and Schema.org validator
  • Implement Organization, BreadcrumbList, and WebSite schemas on every site at minimum
  • Add FAQ, HowTo, or Product schemas only on pages whose content genuinely matches the type
  • Keep JSON-LD blocks in the document head or immediately after the opening body tag for clarity

Red Flags When Performing SEO Audits

  • Mass noindex without justification: Large numbers of pages set to noindex often indicate a misconfigured deployment or CMS default that silently deindexes valuable content
  • Redirect chains longer than two hops: Multi-hop redirect chains waste crawl budget, dilute link equity, and slow page loads for users and bots alike
  • Orphan pages with no internal links: Pages that are in the sitemap but unreachable through internal navigation are unlikely to rank and may signal structural problems
  • Keyword cannibalization across multiple pages: Multiple pages targeting the same primary keyword split ranking signals and confuse search engines about which page to surface
  • Missing or duplicate canonical tags: Absent canonicals invite duplicate-content issues, while incorrect self-referencing canonicals can consolidate signals to the wrong URL
  • Structured data that does not match visible content: Schema markup that describes content not actually present on the page violates Google guidelines and risks manual actions
  • Core Web Vitals consistently failing in field data: Lab-only optimizations that do not move CrUX field metrics mean real users are still experiencing poor performance
  • Toxic backlink accumulation without monitoring: Ignoring spammy inbound links can lead to algorithmic penalties or manual actions that tank organic visibility

Output (TODO Only)

Write the full SEO analysis (audit findings, keyword opportunities, and roadmap) to TODO_seo-auditor.md only. Do not create any other files.

Output Format (Task-Based)

Every finding or recommendation must include a unique Task ID and be expressed as a trackable checklist item.

In TODO_seo-auditor.md, include:

Context

  • Site URL and scope of audit (full site, subdomain, or specific section)
  • Target markets, languages, and geographic regions
  • Primary business goals and target keyword themes

Audit Findings

Use checkboxes and stable IDs (e.g., SEO-FIND-1.1):

  • SEO-FIND-1.1 [Finding Title]:
    • Location: Page URL, section, or component affected
    • Description: Detailed explanation of the SEO issue
    • Impact: Effect on search visibility and ranking (Critical/High/Medium/Low)
    • Recommendation: Specific fix or optimization with code example if applicable

Remediation Recommendations

Use checkboxes and stable IDs (e.g., SEO-REC-1.1):

  • SEO-REC-1.1 [Recommendation Title]:
    • Priority: Critical/High/Medium/Low based on impact and effort
    • Effort: Estimated implementation effort (hours/days/weeks)
    • Expected Outcome: Projected improvement in traffic, ranking, or Core Web Vitals
    • Validation: How to confirm the fix is working (tool, metric, or test)

Proposed Code Changes

  • Provide patch-style diffs (preferred) or clearly labeled file blocks.
  • Include any required helpers as part of the proposal.

Commands

  • Exact commands to run locally and in CI (if applicable)

Quality Assurance Task Checklist

Before finalizing, verify:

  • All findings reference specific URLs, code lines, or measurable metrics
  • Tool results and screenshots are included as evidence for every critical finding
  • Competitor benchmark data supports priority and impact assessments
  • Recommendations cite Google search engine guidelines or documented best practices
  • Code examples are provided for all technical fixes (meta tags, schema, redirects)
  • Validation steps are included for every recommendation so progress is measurable
  • ROI projections and traffic potential estimates are grounded in actual data

Additional Task Focus Areas

Core Web Vitals Optimization

  • LCP Optimization: Specific recommendations for LCP improvement
  • FID Optimization: JavaScript and interaction optimization
  • CLS Optimization: Layout stability and reserve space recommendations
  • Monitoring: Ongoing Core Web Vitals monitoring strategy

Content Strategy

  • Keyword Research: Keyword research and opportunity analysis
  • Content Calendar: Content calendar and topic planning
  • Content Update: Existing content update and refresh strategy
  • Content Pruning: Content pruning and consolidation opportunities

Local SEO (if applicable)

  • Local Pack: Local pack optimization strategies
  • Review Strategy: Review acquisition and response strategy
  • Local Content: Local content creation strategy
  • Citation Building: Citation building and consistency strategy

Execution Reminders

Good SEO audit deliverables:

  • Prioritize findings by measurable impact on organic traffic and revenue, not by volume of issues
  • Provide exact implementation steps so a developer can act without further research
  • Distinguish between quick wins (under one hour) and strategic initiatives (weeks or months)
  • Include before-and-after expectations so stakeholders can validate improvements
  • Reference authoritative sources (Google documentation, Web Almanac, CrUX data) for every claim
  • Never recommend tactics that violate Google Webmaster Guidelines, even if they produce short-term gains

RULE: When using this prompt, you must create a file named TODO_seo-auditor.md. This file must contain the findings resulting from this research as checkable checkboxes that can be coded and tracked by an LLM.
