SEO
affaan-m/ecc
Finds and fixes practical search problems on a site—crawl/index issues, meta tags, sitemap/robots, schema markup, content gaps, and page‑experience metrics—and produces concrete remediation steps you can apply. It focuses on traditional search ranking and implementation work (including Core Web Vitals and keyword mapping), not on making content show up in AI assistant answers or optimizing for LLM citations.

Should I use Programmatic SEO or SEO (affaan-m)?
The clearest answer is a situation each one is unambiguously right for. Both of these are drawn from the game's question bank.
Reach for Programmatic SEO when
The marketing ops team has a spreadsheet of 200 locations and needs identical landing pages for each with only address, hours, and a short blurb changing per row.
This is a straightforward bulk content generation need: produce many pages from a template populated by a dataset so each location gets its own page. Other skills deal with search diagnostics, accessibility fixes, or layout tuning and don’t handle templated, large-scale page creation.
Reach for SEO (affaan-m) when
Our e‑commerce site lost a lot of organic traffic after a redesign — search tools report many broken links, dozens of pages with identical titles/descriptions, several low‑traffic product pages, and mobile pages feel sluggish. I need a prioritized, practical list of specific fixes my engineers can implement, not a new content plan or a high‑level credibility report.
The correct pick delivers hands‑on diagnosis and a prioritized remediation plan you can hand straight to engineers — it finds practical site problems (dup titles, link errors, slow pages, thin content) and prescribes concrete fixes and implementation steps. The most tempting wrong answer is the one that promises tidy metadata and indexing tweaks — that sounds similar because it mentions on‑page corrections, but it mainly handles tagging and index signals and won’t give the full, prioritized engineering remediation or the page‑experience troubleshooting you need. A full site credibility audit is also attractive, but it focuses on assessing structure and trust across regions rather than producing the immediate, step‑by‑step fixes to restore traffic.
What they have in common
Both are filed under SEO, the axis along which they collide. That shared ground is what makes an agent pick between them on description alone — and what makes it pick wrong.
