What it does

Once installed, the agent can query DataForSEO, a paid commercial SEO data service, for real-time information such as Google search results, keyword search volume and difficulty, backlink profiles, competitor domains, on-page analysis and mentions in AI assistants. It is a guide for using a DataForSEO MCP server (a connector that gives the agent tools) rather than a standalone data source, and it includes a cost-control layer that estimates the price of each call and asks for approval before expensive ones.

Great for

  • SEO specialists who need live rankings and keyword data instead of estimates
  • Content marketers researching keyword intent and competitor pages
  • Teams tracking how brands appear in AI assistant answers (GEO)

Skip it if

  • Users without a DataForSEO account or budget, since every call is billed per request and the skill will not work without the extension
  • Quick free keyword checks, because the skill relies on a paid API rather than free sources
  • Situations needing guaranteed-accurate metrics, since the skill itself notes some AI visibility correlations depend on methodology

Try asking

  • “Show me the live Google SERP for 'best running shoes' in the US”
  • “Get search volume and keyword difficulty for these ten keywords”
  • “Pull the backlink profile for example.com and summarize the top referring domains”
  • “Run an AI visibility check for my brand across LLM mentions”

Get better results

  • Set a daily budget and approval threshold with the cost config command before running large jobs, since each call is billed.
  • Use the default US/English settings unless you need another market, to keep costs down.
  • Avoid site: or filetype: operators in image or SERP queries unless needed, because they cost about five times more.
