Akii — SEO & AI Search Optimizer
Free AI-powered SEO, AEO, and GEO toolkit by Akii for Claude Code.
Aligned with Google's AI Optimization Guide for Google AI Overviews + AI Mode — and extends those foundations to the 5 other engines (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot) using peer-reviewed cross-engine research where Google doesn't have jurisdiction.
All skills run on your Claude Code session model (Claude Sonnet / Opus / etc) — same model you're already using.
Audit websites, plan content strategy, optimize pages, generate schema markup, cluster keywords, estimate your AI visibility for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews, generate llms.txt for non-Google AI crawlers, and apply the cross-engine GEO rewrite tactics from the Princeton/IIT Delhi study (Aggarwal et al., KDD 2024, arXiv:2311.09735) — all without leaving your terminal or IDE.
On the AI Visibility Score specifically: that one skill (and its /ai-visibility-score command) calls the Akii backend, which uses Llama 4 / DeepSeek V4 Pro as an LLM judge against your brand's public footprint (Phase 1) plus a per-engine signal-correlation proxy (Phase 2 — done by your Claude Code session). It does NOT directly query ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, or Copilot. Direct multi-engine querying is a paid Akii platform feature. See AUTHORITIES.md § "What this plugin actually measures" for full methodology.
See AUTHORITIES.md for how each source is scoped (Google guide → Google AI surfaces · Princeton paper → cross-engine GEO tactics · FirstPageSage breakdown → per-engine signal correlations).
Installation
Install directly from this GitHub repo. Inside the Claude Code prompt, run these as two separate commands — paste the first, press Enter, then paste the second. Pasting both at once concatenates them with a space and Claude Code treats the whole blob as one broken /plugin marketplace add call.
Step 1 — add the marketplace:
/plugin marketplace add https://github.com/akii-technologies-ltd/akii-seo-ai-search-optimizer
Step 2 — install the plugin:
/plugin install akii-seo-ai-search-optimizer@akii
Use the full https:// URL above — the short owner/repo form makes Claude Code clone via SSH on some systems and fails if you don't have a GitHub SSH key configured.
Submitted to the Anthropic community marketplace — pending review. Once accepted, you'll also be able to install with:
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install akii-seo-ai-search-optimizer@claude-community
Updating
Third-party Claude Code marketplaces have auto-update disabled by default. Two paths:
Recommended — enable auto-update once, never think about it again:
/plugin
Press Enter, navigate to Marketplaces tab → akii → Enable auto-update.
After that, every Claude Code startup refreshes the marketplace + updates installed plugins to the latest version. A notification will prompt /reload-plugins if updates landed.
Manual update per release: paste each command separately, press Enter between:
/plugin marketplace update akii
/reload-plugins
The first refreshes the marketplace catalog from GitHub; the second activates the updated plugin in the current session.
Quick start
After install, try this first to see what the plugin does — just ask in natural language:
"What's my AI visibility for yourdomain.com?"
The ai-visibility skill auto-triggers and returns the Akii 0–100 score (4-dimension breakdown) plus a per-engine proxy map for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, and Google AI Overviews. From there, ask things like "audit my site", "compare my SEO against competitor.com", or "apply GEO optimization to ./blog/my-post.md" — skills auto-trigger on natural language.
What's included
Skills (12)
Skills activate automatically when you ask about these topics. Grouped by workflow:
Audit
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| SEO Audit | Unified SEO + AEO + GEO audit across 12 layers. --mode=full (default) gives the full scorecard with Core Web Vitals + JS rendering + crawlability depth inline. --mode=quick = scorecard only. --mode=technical = infrastructure-only deep dive (CWV, crawlability, indexation, JS rendering, HTTPS / HSTS / mixed content). |
| Broken Links | Find and fix dead links + redirect chains |
| Competitor Intel | Head-to-head SEO + AEO + GEO + AI visibility scorecard vs named competitors |
Optimize
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| Optimize Page | Full SEO + AEO + GEO pass on a single page — title/meta/H1/links + chunk-quality + GEO rewrites using tactics from the Princeton/IIT Delhi GEO study (--mode=full|seo|aeo|geo) |
| Schema Markup | Generate JSON-LD with sameAs, granular LocalBusiness, AEO fields |
| Internal Linking | Orphans, anchor diversity, link-equity flow |
Content
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| Content Strategy | Data-grounded content roadmap with pillars + clusters |
| Content Brief | Detailed briefs for writers (human or AI) |
| Keyword Clustering | Intent-matched topical clusters → pillar + cluster pages |
AI Search
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| AI Visibility | Akii 0–100 score (4-dim breakdown, computed by Llama 4 / DeepSeek V4 Pro as LLM judge) + per-engine proxy map for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Copilot, Google AI Overviews (FirstPageSage signal weights, NOT direct engine queries) |
| llms.txt | Generate/maintain llms.txt + llms-full.txt |
Localization
| Skill | What it does |
|---|
| Content Translation | Localize with per-locale keyword research + hreflang |
Agents (5)
Autonomous agents for deep, multi-step work. Each agent has a fast-path skill counterpart (see routing table below). Agents only fire on explicit "deep / agent / autonomous / bulk" phrasing — never on generic triggers.
| Agent | What it does | Fast-path skill |
|---|
| SEO Auditor | Full autonomous site audit with scored report | seo-audit |
| Content Strategist | Multi-pass site + competitor crawl → complete plan | content-strategy |
| Competitor Analyzer | 5+ competitors, full backlink + keyword overlap | competitor-intel |
| AI Visibility Analyzer | Multi-engine real-query probes + 30-day plan | ai-visibility |
| Schema Generator | Bulk JSON-LD across many pages, writes into source | schema-markup |
Routing contract
When in doubt, the skill is the default for any question in its capability area. The agent only triggers when the user explicitly says one of: deep, agent mode, autonomous, bulk, across my site, every page, 5+ competitors, comprehensive. If you want the agent specifically, name it: e.g. "run the schema-generator agent".
Commands (3)
Three argument-driven slash commands for operations that benefit from positional $ARGUMENTS parsing. Everything else triggers through the skill catalog above — either via natural language ("translate this to German", "generate schema for this page") or by typing the skill's slash slug (/akii-seo-ai-search-optimizer:content-translation, /akii-seo-ai-search-optimizer:schema-markup, etc.).
| Command | What it does |
|---|
/create-topic <seed> | Research and generate a full topic plan |
/create-content <topic> | Generate a full SEO + AEO + GEO-optimized article |
/check-file [file] | Quick SEO + AEO check on a single file |

Auto-detected third-party MCPs
The plugin works standalone using Claude's built-in tools (WebFetch, WebSearch, Read, Glob, Grep, Bash). But if you've already connected any of the following MCPs, skills automatically use them for richer, real-data outputs:
| MCP | What it adds |
|---|
Ahrefs (mcp__plugin_marketing_ahrefs__*) | Real DR, backlinks, organic keyword data, brand-radar AI mention tracking, GSC integration |
| Google Search Console (via Ahrefs plugin) | Real click, impression, position data |
Apify (mcp__Apify__*) | Richer SERP scrapes, social-mention scraping |
| PageSpeed Insights API | Real Core Web Vitals — set AKII_PSI_KEY env var to enable (used by seo-audit skill in --mode=full or --mode=technical) |
No extra configuration needed. Skills auto-detect and degrade gracefully if the MCP isn't installed.
Telemetry
The plugin sends a single anonymized HTTP POST to https://akii.com/api/plugin-telemetry at most once per machine per 24 hours from the SessionEnd hook. The full payload is:
{
"plugin_version": "2.9.0",
"session_hash": "<16-hex-char sha256 prefix of machine UUID>",
"os": "Darwin",
"timestamp": "2026-05-27T18:00:00Z"
}
That is the entire payload. The plugin never sends code, file paths, prompts, skill outputs, audited domains, bash commands, or anything else from your session. We use this to count active installs and version distribution. Full details — what's collected field-by-field, what isn't, why, and how to verify the implementation locally — are in PRIVACY.md.
To disable, set any one of:
| Env var | Scope |
|---|
AKII_PLUGIN_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=1 | Disables telemetry only |
AKII_PLUGIN_DISABLE_CTA=1 | Disables the entire SessionEnd hook (CTA + version nudge + telemetry) |
CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC=1 | Anthropic's standard universal kill switch |
DO_NOT_TRACK=1 | Web standard |
Telemetry is default-off on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex, Microsoft Foundry, and Claude Platform on AWS, matching Anthropic's own posture for commercial-provider users.
Compatibility
| Surface | Tested against |
|---|
| Claude Code CLI | 2.0.x and later (skill / agent / hook spec v2) |
| Plugin spec | marketplace.json v1, plugin.json v1, hooks.json v1 |
| OS | macOS, Linux. Windows untested (the hook uses POSIX bash; should work under WSL). |
If you hit a compatibility issue with a newer Claude Code release, please open an issue with claude --version output. Full compatibility matrix (MCPs, env vars, known limitations) is in COMPATIBILITY.md.
