/content-calendar "your-niche" --months 3 --include-seasonalityTroubleshooting
Issue: API rate limits exceeded
# Check current usage
cat ~/.claude/skills/magicstarfishboost-seo-content-marketing/logs/api-usage.log
# Solution: Add delays or reduce scope
/keyword-research "topic" --depth basic # Use lighter mode
/content-audit https://example.com --scope quick # Smaller crawlIssue: Inaccurate SERP data
Cause: Geo-location mismatch or personalized results
Solution:
# Always specify country/location
/keyword-research "topic" --country US
/serp-monitor add "keyword" https://example.com --location "New York, NY"
# Use incognito/non-personalized mode (automatic in this skill)Issue: Content audit missing pages
Cause: Pages blocked by robots.txt or not in sitemap
Solution:
# Check crawl logs
/technical-seo https://example.com --depth 10 # Increase depth
# Or provide direct sitemap
/content-audit https://example.com/sitemap.xml --scope fullIssue: Link prospects have outdated contact info
Solution:
# Re-run with fresh discovery
/link-prospecting "niche" --verify-contacts --update-cache
# Export for manual verification
/link-prospecting "niche" --output csv --limit 20 # Smaller, manageable listIssue: Slow performance on large sites
Optimizations:
# Use progressive audits
/content-audit https://example.com --scope quick # Fast scan first
/content-audit https://example.com/blog --scope full # Then drill down
# Limit crawl depth
/technical-seo https://example.com --depth 3 --max-pages 500
# Sample mode for huge sites
/keyword-research "topic" --sample-size 1000 # Limit keyword expansionIntegration Examples
