About this skill
What is the Technical SEO?
The Technical SEO skill is the methodology Okara’s SEO Agent uses to fix the foundations that gate everything else: whether search engines can crawl, render, and index your site, and whether it loads fast enough to rank.
It’s written as a SKILL.md, a plain-language instruction format that people and AI agents can both follow. Read it to understand how technical issues get triaged, adapt it for your own stack, or let the SEO Agent run it against your site.
Downloading the instructions is free with an Okara account. Running them continuously, with technical fixes prioritized and shipped for you, is part of the SEO Agent.
Example
See it in action
You ask: “Google isn’t indexing half of acme-analytics.com. What’s broken technically?”
Agent does: Three issues are blocking indexation. Your robots.txt disallows /blog, so those URLs can never be crawled. A batch of product pages canonicalize to the homepage, so Google drops them as duplicates. And the pricing page is client-rendered with no server HTML, so crawlers see an empty shell. Fix the robots rule first, then the canonicals, then server-render the pricing content.
How it works
From input to fix list
- 1
You provide your website URL
Paste your domain. Optionally connect Google Search Console for real indexing and Core Web Vitals data.
- 2
Okara crawls it like a search engine
The SEO Agent fetches your pages and key resources and checks how a crawler actually sees and renders them.
- 3
It triages technical issues
Crawl, index, architecture, rendering, performance, and structured-data problems are ranked by impact.
- 4
You get exact, batched fixes
Each finding comes with the precise change and a snippet, grouped by template so one fix can clear many URLs.
What's included
Everything it checks
Crawlability & indexation
robots.txt, crawl traps, orphan pages, index coverage, and noindex/canonical conflicts.
Site architecture
URL structure, click depth, internal linking, and breadcrumb logic that spreads authority.
Rendering checks
Server vs client rendering and JS-dependent content a crawler may never see.
Core Web Vitals
LCP, CLS, and INP with the direct causes behind each, not just a score.
Structured data
Valid JSON-LD for the right entity types and rich-result eligibility.
Redirects & hygiene
Redirect chains, HTTPS, mixed content, sitemap accuracy, and hreflang.
Use cases
When to reach for it
- Diagnose why pages aren’t being indexed or are falling out of the index.
- QA a site migration, redesign, or framework change before and after launch.
- Fix Core Web Vitals problems that cap rankings across the whole domain.
- Hand engineers a precise, batched technical backlog instead of vague tickets.
- Keep a JavaScript-heavy site crawlable and correctly rendered for search.
