Build an AI SEO Agent: Automated Website Auditing with Python

AI agents are transforming SEO workflows. Instead of manually running audits, an AI agent can crawl your site, identify issues, prioritize fixes, and generate recommendations — all autonomously.

The Architecture

Our AI SEO agent uses three components:

• SEO Score API — provides the raw audit data (28 checks per URL)
• Python orchestration — loops through pages and collects results
• LLM analysis — interprets results and generates human-readable recommendations

Step 1: Install

pip install seoscoreapi openai

Step 2: Build the Agent

from seoscoreapi import audit, signup

# Get your free API key
api_key = signup("agent@yourdomain.com")

# Audit the target site
result = audit("https://example.com", api_key=api_key)

print(f"Score: {result['score']}/100 ({result['grade']})")
for p in result["priorities"]:
    print(f"  [{p['severity']}] {p['issue']}")

Step 3: Add LLM Analysis

Feed the structured audit data to an LLM for recommendations:

import openai

prompt = f"""Analyze this SEO audit and provide 3 actionable recommendations:
Score: {result['score']}/100 ({result['grade']})
Issues: {result['priorities']}"""

response = openai.chat.completions.create(
    model="gpt-4",
    messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
)
print(response.choices[0].message.content)

Step 4: Scale with Batch

Audit an entire site with the batch endpoint:

from seoscoreapi import batch_audit

urls = [
    "https://example.com",
    "https://example.com/about",
    "https://example.com/pricing",
    "https://example.com/blog",
]
results = batch_audit(urls, api_key=api_key)
