Andrew Yim e527fb4b0f feat(seo-skills): multi-backend Data Source Selection (#7)
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

# 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.
