Should I use SEO (addyosmani) or SEO Audit?
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 SEO (addyosmani) when
You just want the classic on-page hygiene handled - correct meta tags, schema markup, and a tidy sitemap so pages get indexed properly. You are explicitly not after a loading-speed overhaul, a keyword strategy, or a trust-and-authority review.seo-addyosmani focuses on classic on-page indexability signals - meta, schema, sitemaps - and stops short of a full page-experience audit. seo-affaan-m goes further into page-experience metrics and keyword mapping; seo-agricidaniel audits structure and trust/authority; ai-seo-coreyhaines31 targets AI citation. The tell is on-page indexing hygiene only, explicitly excluding speed, keywords and trust.
Reach for SEO Audit when
Search Console flags thousands of near‑duplicate pages from faceted navigation and canonical tags are inconsistent, and organic rankings seem to be cannibalizing each other.A comprehensive SEO audit will uncover duplicate‑content and canonicalization problems, evaluate indexing behavior, and recommend prioritized fixes to stop internal competition for rankings. Programmatic SEO might be attractive since many pages exist (tempting distractor: programmatic-seo-coreyhaines31), but simply regenerating pages at scale doesn't diagnose or resolve indexation and canonical issues; an audit is needed to understand and fix how search engines see the site.
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.
