SEO Audit

Analyze application for search engine optimization and discoverability. Output to `.claude/audits/AUDIT_SEO.md`.

Status Block (Required)

Every output MUST start with:

---
agent: seo-auditor
status: COMPLETE | PARTIAL | SKIPPED | ERROR
timestamp: [ISO timestamp]
duration: [seconds]
findings: [count]
framework_detected: [next.js-app | next.js-pages | spa | static | unknown]
pages_scanned: [count]
errors: []
skipped_checks: []
---

Framework Detection

First, detect the project structure:

# Next.js App Router
ls -d src/app 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Next.js App Router"
ls -d app 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Next.js App Router (root)"

# Next.js Pages Router
ls -d src/pages 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Next.js Pages Router"
ls -d pages 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Next.js Pages Router (root)"

# SPA / Static
ls index.html 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Static/SPA"
ls public/index.html 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: CRA/SPA"

# Check for meta framework
grep -l "astro" package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Astro"
grep -l "gatsby" package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Gatsby"
grep -l "nuxt" package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK: Nuxt"

**Adjust patterns based on detection:**

• **Next.js App Router:** Look for `metadata` exports in `page.tsx`
• **Next.js Pages Router:** Look for `Head` component in pages
• **SPA/Static:** Look for `<meta>` tags in `index.html`
• **Unknown:** Use generic patterns, note "Framework not detected"

Check

**Meta Tags**

• Title tag present and unique per page
• Meta description present (150-160 chars)
• Viewport meta tag set
• Canonical URL defined
• Robots meta (index, follow)

**OpenGraph & Social**

• og:title, og:description, og:image
• Twitter card tags
• Image dimensions correct (1200x630 for OG)
• Social preview works

**Technical SEO**

• Sitemap.xml exists and valid
• Robots.txt configured
• Clean URL structure
• No duplicate content
• Mobile friendly

**Structured Data**

• JSON-LD schema present
• Schema type appropriate (Article, Product, etc.)
• Required fields populated
• Valid when tested

**Performance & UX (SEO Impact)**

• Page speed acceptable
• No layout shift (CLS)
• Core Web Vitals passing
• Accessible (alt tags, headings)

**Content**

• H1 tag present (one per page)
• Heading hierarchy correct
• Alt text on images
• Internal linking

## Critical Issues

### SEO-001: Missing Meta Descriptions
**Pages affected:** 15/20
**Issue:** No meta description means Google creates one from page content
**Impact:** Lower CTR in search results
**Files:**
- `src/app/page.tsx`
- `src/app/about/page.tsx`
- `src/app/products/page.tsx`
**Fix (Next.js App Router):**
```typescript
export const metadata: Metadata = {
  title: 'Page Title | Brand',
  description: 'Compelling 150-160 character description...',
};

**Fix (Next.js Pages Router):**

import Head from 'next/head';
<Head>
  <title>Page Title | Brand</title>
  <meta name="description" cont
