Our category page title is just 'Mugs \| Clay & Co' and the meta description is empty. Can you rewrite the title tag and meta description for the page, and suggest 8 to 10 keywords, including long-tail ones, that I should target? Our customers are mostly gift buyers looking for unique, small-batch pieces.” **example-2** “Our SaaS blog has about 120 posts, and organic traffic has dropped 30% over the past three months. Many posts are 2019-2021 articles on project management tips with thin content, and several pages have duplicate H1s. Can you give me a technical and content audit checklist and a prioritized plan for deciding which posts to update, merge, or remove? Please also suggest how to measure whether the fixes work.” ## Install Download the .zip and unzip it. Put `seo-specialist.md` here: Claude Code · `~/.claude/agents/` · Every project. For one project only, use .claude/agents/ inside it. It gives the agent the tools it asks for, and no others. Cursor · `~/.cursor/agents/` · Cursor also reads the Claude Code folder above. It has no tools field, so it gives every agent every tool, whatever this one asks for. Codex · Codex’s custom agents are TOML files, not Markdown, so this agent doesn’t install there. Keep its license file beside it, as `seo-specialist.LICENSE`: a name that doesn’t end in .md, since every .md file there is read as an agent. Then start a new session and ask for it by name. Folders checked 6 November 2026. Or [install from your agent](https://carteblanche.com/connect.md): ask it to install `seo-specialist` from Carte Blanche. ## Badge for your README Carte Blanche: Verified Paste this into the agent’s README. It links to this page, and shows how the listing stands whenever it’s loaded. ``` [![Carte Blanche](https://carteblanche.com/badge/seo-specialist.svg)](https://carteblanche.com/skills/seo-specialist) ``` ## About this test - **tested**: 7 Nov 2026 - **version tested**: v1 - **cases**: 2 - **tries per case**: 1 try per case - **run without the agent**: yes - **cases written by**: Carte Blanche - **size**: 5030 characters What this shows, and what it doesn’t How 2 models answered these 2 requests, with and without the agent. It says nothing about other models, and it doesn’t limit what your own agent can do. The answers were written without tools: the agent’s instructions were the system prompt, and it read no file and ran nothing. [How we test](https://carteblanche.com/how-it-works.md)
