Find technical SEO issues and generate code fixes

The author tested five SEO agents; one browsed a site, found broken canonicals, orphaned pages and missing schema, ranked them by impact and produced code fixes, while two others pulled Search Console data.

What They Did

The team gave five SEO agents the same brief on three live client sites: run a technical crawl, rank issues by impact, and produce shippable output. One agent browsed the site by itself, found broken canonicals, orphaned pages and missing schema, ranked them, and wrote code snippets with named file changes. It also compared pages against the top-ranking results to find topical gaps.

How It Went

It was the only genuine agent of the five and worked as a useful research assistant. But it recommended changes that would have broken the site's navigation, and it ranked issues by technical severity with no regard for business goals.

Worth Knowing

Review every fix before shipping. The agent missed context a human would spot in seconds, and the authors say it would eventually cause damage if left to execute unreviewed.
