Common Combos
Site Build (Non-Local)
Load: seo-foundations
Skip: local-seo, seo-agent-playbook (no agent), seo-integrations (no connectors)
Add aeo-geo if AI visibility is a goal
Local Business Site Build
Load: seo-foundations + local-seo
Add: aeo-geo (recommended — competitive advantage)
Skip: seo-agent-playbook + seo-integrations (unless building the agent system)
ServiceStack SEO Agent Development
Load: All five skills
seo-foundations → what the agent needs to know about SEO
local-seo → what the agent manages for local businesses
aeo-geo → AI visibility features the agent monitors
seo-agent-playbook → how the agent operates
seo-integrations → what APIs the agent calls
SEO Audit
Load: seo-foundations + local-seo (if local business)
Reference: seo-integrations for tool/API selection
Skip: seo-agent-playbook (audit is manual, not agent-driven)
Content Generation
Load: seo-foundations (content strategy, on-page rules)
Add: aeo-geo (if optimizing for AI citation)
Add: local-seo section 1 (if generating GBP posts)
