Determine how much SEO tinkering is actually appropriate for a site right now, before recommending any optimization action — a small/growing site and a mature one need opposite advice. Use at the start of any SEO engagement, before running any other audit skill in this pack, or when a user asks "should I be optimizing more" or "why isn't more tinkering helping." This is a gating skill: its answer changes what the other audit skills should even recommend.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# SEO Growth-Stage Strategy

Answers a question every other skill in this pack depends on: is this site at a stage where
adding coverage matters more than polishing what exists, or the reverse? Don't run a full
optimization audit on instinct — establish the stage first.

## Step 0 — Ask before assuming (this IS the skill, more than usual)

1. **How much content/coverage exists relative to the site's addressable topic space?** Still
   filling obvious gaps, or reasonably comprehensive already?
2. **How mature is the traffic?** Growing steadily, plateaued, or declining? Roughly how much
   traffic/revenue is at stake if something goes wrong?
3. **How much has actually been tinkered with already** — titles, structure, technical
   fixes — versus how much is genuinely new content?
4. **Is there a current, active concern** (a real drop, a suspected issue) or is this a
   proactive check-in with nothing specific wrong?
5. **What would "success" mean right now** — more coverage, better conversion on existing
   traffic, or just stability?

Do not skip this and jump straight to recommending fixes. The right answer to "should you

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add seoo-tools/seoo-skills/seo-growth-stage-strategy@sha256:c5b673bbdf050363

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261001.a762959, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
