Replaces single-vendor (Ahrefs-only) tool defaults with a per-task backend menu across all 14 SEO skills. Each skill now lists every capable MCP in allowed-tools and documents how to pick between Semrush, Ahrefs, OurSEO Agent (CLI + MCP), DataForSEO, and GSC in its SKILL.md Data Source Selection section. Tool stubs (~40 new files) populated per skill with capability deltas, call patterns, and explicit "not for this skill when" callouts so the menu is self-correcting. Skills affected: 19-keyword-strategy, 20-serp-analysis, 21-position-tracking, 22-link-building, 23-content-strategy, 24-ecommerce, 25-kpi-framework, 26-international, 27-ai-visibility, 28-knowledge-graph, 31-competitor-intel, 32-crawl-budget, 33-migration-planner, 34-reporting-dashboard.

# Google Search Console
|
|
|
|
**Required** for migration baseline + post-launch monitoring. GSC is the only source for first-party impressions / clicks per URL pre-migration — modelled estimates from Semrush/Ahrefs cannot substitute.
|
|
|
|
## CLI commands
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Pre-migration baseline (PULL THIS BEFORE THE MIGRATION DATE)
|
|
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
|
|
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
|
|
our research search-console queries --site sc-domain:<old-domain> --days 90
|
|
|
|
# Post-migration (after new domain is verified in GSC)
|
|
our research search-console pages --site sc-domain:<new-domain> --days 28
|
|
our research search-console combined --site sc-domain:<new-domain> --days 28
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
`sc-domain:` prefix for Domain-verified properties; URL-prefix uses plain URL.
|
|
|
|
## Baseline checklist
|
|
|
|
Pre-migration, capture at minimum:
|
|
|
|
| File | Source | Window |
|
|
|---|---|---|
|
|
| `gsc-pages-90d.json` | `our research search-console pages` | 90 days pre-migration |
|
|
| `gsc-combined-90d.json` | `our research search-console combined` | 90 days pre-migration |
|
|
| `gsc-queries-90d.json` | `our research search-console queries` | 90 days pre-migration |
|
|
|
|
Store these alongside the OurSEO crawl baseline in the migration workspace.
|
|
|
|
## Post-launch monitoring
|
|
|
|
1. Wait for the new domain to verify in GSC (~24h after DNS propagation + sitemap submission).
|
|
2. Pull `pages` and `combined` on the new domain at +7d, +14d, +28d, +60d, +90d.
|
|
3. Diff against the baseline: which URLs lost impressions? Which queries dropped?
|
|
4. Cross-reference with OurSEO redirect verification — broken redirects are the most common cause of impression loss.
|
|
|
|
## Ahrefs GSC alternates
|
|
|
|
If both old and new domains are connected as Ahrefs projects:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages(project_id="<id>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-pages-history(project_id="<id>")
|
|
mcp__ahrefs__gsc-performance-history(project_id="<id>")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Not for this skill when
|
|
|
|
- **Pre-migration baseline before GSC verification** of the property — not possible. Get the domain verified well in advance.
|
|
- **Competitor migration analysis** — GSC is single-site.
