# Google SEO APIs

**Quando usar esta vs. `traffic-ga4-mcp`:** esta cobre as APIs Google de SEO (Search Console, PageSpeed, CrUX, Indexing, GA4 orgânico). Para relatórios GA4 de campanhas pagas, validação de UTMs e conversões de ads, use `traffic-ga4-mcp`.

Direct access to Google's own SEO data. Bridges the gap between crawl-based
analysis (existing claude-seo skills) and Google's real-time field data: actual
Chrome user metrics, real indexation status, search performance, and organic traffic.

All APIs are free. Setup requires a Google Cloud project with API key and/or
service account -- run `/seo google setup` for step-by-step instructions.

## Prerequisites

Before executing any command, check credentials:
```bash
"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run google_auth.py --check --json
```

Config file: `~/.config/claude-seo/google-api.json`
```json
{
  "service_account_path": "/path/to/service_account.json",
  "api_key": "<GOOGLE_API_KEY>",
  "default_property": "sc-domain:example.com",
  "ga4_property_id": "properties/123456789"
}
```

If missing, read `references/auth-setup.md` and walk the user through setup.

### Credential Tiers

| Tier | Detection | Available Commands |
|------|-----------|-------------------|
| **0** (API Key) | `api_key` present | `pagespeed`, `crux`, `crux-history`, `youtube`, `nlp` |

## PageSpeed + CrUX

### `/seo google pagespeed <url>`

Combined Lighthouse lab data + CrUX field data.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run pagespeed_check.py <url> --json`
**Reference:** `references/pagespeed-crux-api.md`
**Default:** Both mobile + desktop strategies, all Lighthouse categories.

Output merges lab scores (point-in-time Lighthouse) with field data (28-day
Chrome user metrics). CrUX tries URL-level first, falls back to origin-level.

### `/seo google crux <url>`

CrUX field data only (no Lighthouse run). Faster.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run pagespeed_check.py <url> --crux-only --json`

### `/seo google crux-history <url>`

25-week CrUX History trends. Shows whether CWV metrics are improving, stable, or degrading.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run crux_history.py <url> --json`
**Reference:** `references/pagespeed-crux-api.md`

Output includes per-metric trend direction, percentage change, and weekly p75 values.

---

## Search Console

### `/seo google gsc <property>`

Search Analytics: clicks, impressions, CTR, position for last 28 days.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run gsc_query.py --property <property> --json`
**Reference:** `references/search-console-api.md`
**Default:** 28 days, dimensions=query,page, type=web, limit=1000.

Includes quick-win detection: queries at position 4-10 with high impressions.
The `totals` block comes from a separate dimensionless aggregate query because
query-level rows can omit anonymized low-volume traffic. Treat totals as
site-wide only when `totals_complete` is true. `--limit` caps total returned
dimension rows, not the size of every pagination request.

> **AI surfaces in GSC (2026):**
> - **Generative AI performance report** (launched 2026-06-03), a dedicated view of **AI Overviews + AI Mode** visibility. **Impressions only** (no clicks/CTR/position/query); dimensions Pages/Countries/Devices/Dates (Pacific Time); 1,000-row limit; newest data preliminary; a separate Discover gen-AI report also exists. Rolling out to a subset of properties.
> - **AI Mode already rolls into standard Performance totals** (Web search type), clicks (external-link clicks in AI Mode) and impressions are counted in the normal report, so you **cannot** cleanly split "classic" vs "AI" traffic from totals. Use the Generative AI report for impressions-only AI visibility.
> - **Data-reliability caveat:** a GSC logging error made **impressions, CTR, and average position unreliable from 2025-05-13 to 2026-04-27** (clicks unaffected; fixed forward-only, **no backfill**). Treat impression/CTR/position trends spanning that window with caution; expect an apparent impressions drop after the fix.

> **Platform properties (2026):** Search Console can expose verified TikTok,
> Instagram, X, and YouTube accounts as individual properties. Verify each
> account separately, unless it was already added through a claimed Search
> profile. Use these properties for Google Search performance only, not as a
> substitute for the platform's own analytics. Source:
> developers.google.com/search/docs/monitor-debug/analyze-social-video-content

### `/seo google inspect <url>`

URL Inspection: real indexation status from Google.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run gsc_inspect.py <url> --json`

Returns: verdict (PASS/FAIL), coverage state, robots.txt status, indexing state,
page fetch state, canonical selection, mobile usability, rich results.

### `/seo google inspect-batch <file>`

Batch inspection from a file (one URL per line). Rate limited to 2,000/day per site.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run gsc_inspect.py --batch <file> --json`

### `/seo google sitemaps <property>`

List submitted sitemaps with status, errors, warnings. Sitemap contents report
submitted counts only; URL Inspection API is the indexation truth for whether
specific URLs are indexed.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run gsc_query.py sitemaps --property <property> --json`

---

## Indexing API

### `/seo google index <url>`

Notify Google of a URL update.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run indexing_notify.py <url> --json`
**Reference:** `references/indexing-api.md`

The Indexing API is officially for JobPosting and BroadcastEvent/VideoObject pages.
Always inform the user of this restriction. Daily quota: 200 publish requests.

### `/seo google index-batch <file>`

Batch submit URLs from a file. Tracks quota usage.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run indexing_notify.py --batch <file> --json`

---

## GA4 Traffic

### `/seo google ga4 [property-id]`

Organic traffic report: daily sessions, users, pageviews, bounce rate, engagement.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run ga4_report.py --property <id> --json`
**Reference:** `references/ga4-data-api.md`
**Default:** 28 days, filtered to Organic Search channel group.

> **GA4 "AI Assistants" channel (live ~2026-05-13):** GA4 added a native *AI Assistants* Default Channel Group. Sessions referred by a recognized AI assistant get `medium=ai-assistant`. Google's recognized sources are **ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Deepseek, Copilot, Grok** and the channel **excludes** Google AI Overviews / AI Mode. **Verify Perplexity separately if needed**; unsupported sources may stay in Referral, and most AI sessions arrive referrer-less and fall into **Direct**, so this channel undercounts AI traffic. Forward-only, no backfill.

### `/seo google ga4-pages [property-id]`

Top organic landing pages ranked by sessions.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run ga4_report.py --property <id> --report top-pages --json`

---

## YouTube (Video SEO)

Some third-party studies report a 0.737 correlation between YouTube mentions and AI visibility. Treat it as a methodology-dependent signal. Free, API key only.

### `/seo google youtube <query>`

Search YouTube for videos. Returns title, channel, views, likes, duration.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run youtube_search.py search "<query>" --json`
**Reference:** `references/youtube-api.md`
**Quota:** 100 units per search (10,000 units/day free).

### `/seo google youtube-video <video_id>`

Detailed video info + tags + top 10 comments.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run youtube_search.py video <video_id> --json`
**Quota:** 2 units (video details + comments).

---

## NLP Content Analysis

Google NLP entity/sentiment output for internal content-quality checks. Do not treat it as Google E-E-A-T scoring.

### `/seo google nlp <url-or-text>`

Full NLP analysis: entities, sentiment, content classification.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run nlp_analyze.py --url <url> --json` or `--text "..."`
**Reference:** `references/nlp-api.md`
**Free tier:** 5,000 units/month. Requires billing enabled on GCP project.

### `/seo google entities <url-or-text>`

Entity extraction only (faster, less quota).

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run nlp_analyze.py --url <url> --features entities --json`

---

## Keyword Research (Google Ads)

Gold-standard keyword volume data. Requires Google Ads account.

Uses Knowledge Graph Search API with API key.

### `/seo google safety <url>`

Web Risk API check for malware/social engineering flags.

**Reference:** `references/supplementary-apis.md`

### `/seo google quotas`

Display rate limits table. Read `references/rate-limits-quotas.md`.

---

## Reports

After any analysis command, offer to generate a PDF/HTML report.

### `/seo google report <type>`

Generate a professional PDF report with charts and analytics.

**Script:** `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run google_report.py --type <type> --data <json> --domain <domain> --format pdf`

| Type | Input | Output |
|------|-------|--------|
| `cwv-audit` | PSI + CrUX + CrUX History data | Core Web Vitals audit with gauges, timelines, distributions |
| `gsc-performance` | GSC query data | Search Console report with query tables, quick wins |
| `indexation` | Batch inspection data | Indexation status with coverage donut chart |
| `full` | All data combined | Comprehensive Google SEO report (all sections) |

**Workflow:**
1. Run data collection commands (pagespeed, gsc, inspect-batch, etc.)
2. Save JSON output to file: `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run pagespeed_check.py <url> --json > data.json`
3. Generate report: `"${CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR}/.claude/skills/seo/scripts/claude-seo" run google_report.py --type cwv-audit --data data.json --domain <domain>`

**Convention:** After completing analysis, suggest: "Generate a report? Use `/seo google report <type>`"

## Cross-Skill Integration

- **seo-audit**: Spawns `seo-google` agent for live CWV + indexation data (conditional)
- **seo-technical**: Uses pagespeed_check.py for real CWV field data
- **seo-performance**: CrUX field data supplements Lighthouse lab data
- **seo-sitemap**: GSC sitemap status shows submitted counts, errors, and warnings; use URL Inspection for indexation truth
- **seo-content**: GSC query data informs keyword targeting
- **seo-geo**: Use GSC Generative AI performance reports and AI Overviews/AI Mode/Discover gen-AI include/exclude controls where available

## Output Format

- CWV metrics: traffic-light rating (Good / Needs Improvement / Poor)
- Performance reports: tables with sortable columns
- Always include data freshness note
- Save reports as `GOOGLE-API-REPORT-{domain}.md`
- Markdown/LLM templates in `assets/templates/`: `cwv-audit-report.md`, `gsc-performance-report.md`, `indexation-status-report.md`; distinct from `google_report.py`'s PDF pipeline

## Technical Notes

- INP replaced FID on March 12, 2024. Never reference FID.
- CLS values from CrUX are string-encoded (e.g., "0.05"). Scripts handle parsing.
- CrUX 404 = insufficient traffic, not an auth error.
- Search Analytics data has 2-3 day lag.
- `round_trip_time` replaced `effectiveConnectionType` in CrUX (Feb 2025).
- Custom Search JSON API is closed to new customers (2025).

## Error Handling

| Scenario | Action |
|----------|--------|
| No credentials configured | Run `/seo google setup`. List Tier 0 commands that work with just an API key. |
| Service account lacks GSC access | Report error. Instruct: add `client_email` to GSC > Settings > Users > Add. |
| CrUX data unavailable (404) | Report insufficient Chrome traffic. Suggest PSI lab data as fallback. |
| GA4 property not found | Report error. Show how to find property ID in GA4 Admin > Property Details. |
| Indexing API quota exceeded | Report 200/day limit. Suggest prioritizing most important URLs. |
| Rate limit (429) | Wait and retry with exponential backoff. Report which API hit the limit. |
