If DataForSEO MCP tools are available, spawn the seo-dataforseo agent alongside existing subagents to enrich the audit with live data: real SERP positions, backlink profiles with spam scores, on-page analysis (Lighthouse), business listings, and AI visibility checks (ChatGPT scraper, LLM mentions).
If Google API credentials are configured (claude-seo run google_auth.py --check), spawn the seo-google agent to enrich the audit with real Google field data: CrUX Core Web Vitals (replaces lab-only estimates), GSC URL indexation status, search performance (clicks, impressions, CTR), and GA4 organic traffic trends. The Performance (CWV) category score benefits most from field data.
| Scenario | Action | |----------|--------| | URL unreachable (DNS failure, connection refused) | Report the error clearly. Do not guess site content. Suggest the user verify the URL and try again. | | robots.txt blocks crawling | Report which paths are blocked. Analyze only accessible pages and note the limitation in the report. | | Rate limiting (429 responses) | Back off and reduce concurrent requests. Report partial results with a note on which sections could not be completed. | | Timeout on large sites (500+ pages) | Cap the crawl at the timeout limit. Report findings for pages crawled and estimate total site scope. |
