- # GitHub DataForSEO -- Live Search & AI Visibility Data (Extension)

-

- Live search data via the DataForSEO MCP server. Provides real keyword volume,

- SERP analysis, and AI visibility tracking for GitHub optimization decisions.

-

- **Important:** DataForSEO measures Google web search volume and AI mentions -- NOT

- GitHub's internal search or Explore algorithm. Use this data to optimize how your

- repo ranks in Google results and whether AI systems cite it.

-

- ## Prerequisites

-

- This skill requires the DataForSEO extension:

- ```bash

- ./extensions/dataforseo/install.sh

- ```

-

- ## Quick Reference

-

- | Command | What it does |

- |---------|-------------|

- | `/github dataforseo keywords <seed>` | Keyword ideas from seed terms |

- | `/github dataforseo volume <keywords>` | Google search volume for terms |

- | `/github dataforseo serp <query>` | What ranks for this query? |

- | `/github dataforseo ai-scrape <query>` | Is the project mentioned by ChatGPT? |

- | `/github dataforseo ai-mentions <keyword>` | LLM mention tracking across platforms |

- | `/github dataforseo competitors <domain>` | What competing projects rank for |

- | `/github dataforseo trends <keyword>` | Interest trend over time |

-

- ## Commands

-

- ### keywords

-

- Generate keyword ideas from seed terms related to the project.

-

- **MCP tools:** `dataforseo_labs_google_keyword_suggestions`, `dataforseo_labs_google_related_keywords`

-

- **Use for:** Discovering keyword opportunities for repo description, topics, and README content.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo keywords "react state management"`

-

- ### volume

-

- Get actual Google search volume for specific terms.

-

- **MCP tools:** `kw_data_google_ads_search_volume`

-

- **Use for:** Validating which keywords are worth targeting. Higher volume = more potential traffic.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo volume "zustand,jotai,recoil,redux toolkit"`

-

- ### serp

-

- Analyze what currently ranks for a query. Check if GitHub repos appear in results.

-

- **MCP tools:** `serp_organic_live_advanced`

-

- **Default parameters:** location_code=2840 (US), language_code=en

-

- **Use for:** Understanding if GitHub repos can rank for target queries, and what the competition looks like.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo serp "best react state management library"`

-

- ### ai-scrape

-

- Check if ChatGPT mentions your project when asked about your domain.

-

- **MCP tools:** `ai_optimization_chat_gpt_scraper`

-

- **Use for:** Monitoring AI visibility. If ChatGPT recommends your project, that drives adoption.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo ai-scrape "what are the best react state management libraries"`

-

- ### ai-mentions

-

- Track LLM mentions across multiple AI platforms.

-

- **MCP tools:** `ai_opt_llm_ment_search`

-

- **Use for:** Cross-platform AI visibility monitoring (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, etc.)

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo ai-mentions "zustand"`

-

- ### competitors

-

- Analyze what keywords competing projects rank for in Google.

-

- **MCP tools:** `dataforseo_labs_google_ranked_keywords`

-

- **Use for:** Finding keyword opportunities by analyzing what competing repos rank for.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo competitors "github.com/pmndrs/zustand"`

-

- ### trends

-

- Check if interest in a technology or keyword is growing or declining.

-

- **MCP tools:** `kw_data_google_trends_explore`

-

- **Use for:** Validating that the project's niche is growing, not shrinking.

-

- **Example:** `/github dataforseo trends "zustand"`

-

- ## Cross-Skill Integration

-

- This extension enhances other skills when available:

- | Skill | How DataForSEO Helps |

- |-------|---------------------|

- | github-seo | Real keyword volume instead of guessing, SERP validation |

- | github-meta | Data-backed topic selection, validated descriptions |

- | github-readme | Keyword volume data for heading optimization |

- | github-empire | Niche keyword landscape, competitor analysis |

- | github-audit | SEO score can reference real ranking data |

- ## Cost Awareness

- DataForSEO charges per API call. Be efficient:

- - Batch keyword volume checks (multiple keywords per call)

- - Don't repeat SERP checks for the same query in one session

- - Warn user before expensive operations (bulk competitor analysis)
