gsc

What This Skill Does

The Google Search Console (GSC) skill allows your OpenClaw AI agent to programmatically interface with your website's performance data. It provides the ability to fetch search analytics, audit site indexing, and pinpoint content optimization opportunities directly from the terminal or your agent's interface. By leveraging the gsc_query.py script, the agent can perform deep-dives into traffic, uncover high-impact keywords, and track ranking positions without requiring manual logins to the GSC dashboard.

Installation

To install this skill, use the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bobdevibecoder/bobagent-gsc

Ensure that you have your Google Cloud OAuth credentials configured in a .env file within the skill directory. The application requires the webmasters.readonly scope enabled in your Google Cloud Console, and your account must have verified ownership of the properties you intend to query.

Use Cases

This skill is indispensable for SEO professionals and content creators. Primary use cases include:

• Content Gap Analysis: Identifying search queries that drive impressions but have low click-through rates, signaling a need to improve meta titles or descriptions.
• Technical Audits: Quickly checking the index status of specific URLs to ensure new content is being crawled.
• Performance Monitoring: Automating weekly reports on search volume, CTR, and average ranking positions.
• Sitemap Management: Verifying that sitemaps are correctly submitted and processed by search engines to minimize indexing delays.

Example Prompts

1. "Analyze my site https://www.nutrient.io and identify the top 10 queries driving the most traffic over the last month."
2. "Check the index status for my recent blog post at /sdk/web and let me know if it's currently indexed."
3. "Show me a list of low-CTR opportunities for my site where impressions are above 100 but clicks are low, so I can optimize my titles."

Tips & Limitations

• Data Delay: Remember that GSC data typically has a 2-3 day latency; don't expect real-time analytics.
• Permissions: Ensure your Google user account has 'Full' or 'Owner' permissions on the GSC property.
• Scope: This skill operates in read-only mode, meaning it cannot perform destructive actions or modify property settings, making it safe for automated data retrieval tasks.
