My AI SEO analysis: Why more data doesn't automatically help

30,378 impressions, 26 clicks, and a significantly better average position. Sounds like success, right? It wasn't. Fewer people clicked on my results, even though Google displayed my pages more frequently and higher up. More data wouldn't have helped me at this point. I already had enough of it. The real problem isn't a lack of data from Search Console, PageSpeed, Analytics, and so on.

Translated from German Read in German

A German blogger created a custom Claude skill to analyze their website's performance using data from Google Search Console, URL Inspection API, technical crawl, loading times, and Analytics. The skill provides a prioritized list of next steps, rather than a long list of warnings, and helped identify issues such as a webpage title that was too long and was likely truncated in search results.

The blogger used the skill to analyze their website and discovered a group of search queries related to "Website analysieren" and "Webseite testen" that had many impressions but few clicks, leading to a product idea. The skill also found four dead links in older articles, which were originally suggested by another AI.
