E-commerce SEO Analysis

Comprehensive product page optimization, marketplace intelligence, and competitive pricing analysis. Works standalone (on-page + schema) and with DataForSEO Merchant API for live Google Shopping and Amazon data.

Commands

1. Product Page Analysis (No DataForSEO Needed)

Fetch and parse any product page for on-page SEO quality.

Workflow

Copy code
1. "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run render_page.py <url> --mode auto → raw/rendered HTML
2. "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run parse_html.py --url <url>   → SEO elements
3. Analyze product-specific signals (below)

2. Google Shopping Intelligence (DataForSEO Merchant API)

Live competitive analysis from Google Shopping results.

Cost Guardrail (MANDATORY)

Before EVERY Merchant API call:

bashCopy code
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_costs.py check merchant_google_products_search

• "status": "approved" -- proceed
• "status": "needs_approval" -- show cost, ask user
• "status": "blocked" -- stop, inform user

After each call:

bashCopy code
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_costs.py log merchant_google_products_search <cost>

Workflow

bashCopy code
# Product search: who sells what at what price
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_merchant.py search "<keyword>" --marketplace google

# Seller analysis: merchant ratings and dominance
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_merchant.py sellers "<keyword>"

# Normalize results for analysis
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_normalize.py results.json --module merchant

Analysis Outputs

3. Amazon Marketplace (DataForSEO)

Cross-marketplace intelligence comparing Google Shopping and Amazon.

Cost Guardrail (MANDATORY)

bashCopy code
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_costs.py check merchant_amazon_products_search

Amazon endpoints are in the warn_endpoints set -- always requires user approval.

Workflow

bashCopy code
# Amazon product search
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_merchant.py search "<keyword>" --marketplace amazon

# Cross-marketplace comparison
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run dataforseo_merchant.py compare "<keyword>"

Cross-Marketplace Report

4. Marketplace Keyword Gaps

Identify mismatches between organic and Shopping visibility.

Workflow

1. Fetch organic rankings via seo-dataforseo: dataforseo_labs_google_ranked_keywords for domain
2. Fetch Google Shopping presence via Merchant API: merchant_google_products_search for top organic keywords
3. Cross-reference results

Gap Types

Output Format

Copy code
## Keyword Gap Analysis: example.com

### Opportunities: Organic → Shopping (12 keywords)
| Keyword | Organic Pos | Volume | CPC | Recommended Action |
|---------|------------|--------|-----|-------------------|

### Opportunities: Shopping → Organic (8 keywords)
| Keyword | Shopping Rank | Volume | CPC | Content Type Needed |
|---------|-------------|--------|-----|-------------------|

5. Product Schema Enhancement

Validate and generate Product schema following Google's current requirements.

Confirmed Required Properties (Google Merchant)

Confirmed required fields are name, image, and offers; use Offer, not AggregateOffer, for merchant listings.

jsonCopy code
{
  "@context": "https://schema.org",
  "@type": "Product",
  "name": "",
  "image": [""],
  "offers": {
    "@type": "Offer",
    "url": "",
    "priceCurrency": "USD",
    "price": "0.00",
    "availability": "https://schema.org/InStock"
  }
}

Recommended Properties (Enhance Rich Results)

• sku -- product identifier
• description, brand, offers.seller -- recommended context fields
• gtin13 / gtin14 / mpn -- global trade identifiers
• aggregateRating -- star rating + review count
• review -- individual reviews (minimum 1)
• color, material, size -- variant attributes
• shippingDetails -- ShippingDetails with rate and delivery time (merchant-level shipping via ShippingService is also supported; shipping/returns can be set in Search Console without a Merchant Center account)
• hasMerchantReturnPolicy -- MerchantReturnPolicy with type and days
• hasAdultConsideration -- required for adult-oriented products (added 2026-05-20 to Product variant / Merchant listing); Google Search supports only the value https://schema.org/SexualContentConsideration
• category -- Text, CategoryCode, or an array mixing both. Use custom text for merchant-defined product types and CategoryCode with Google's taxonomy URL plus codeValue for Google Product Categories.

Validation Rules

1. price must be a number string, not "$29.99" (no currency symbol)
2. availability must use full Schema.org URL enum
3. image should be array with >= 1 high-res image URL
4. priceCurrency must be ISO 4217 (USD, EUR, GBP)
5. If brand is present, brand.name must not be empty or "N/A"
6. Sale periods use validFrom plus either validThrough or priceValidUntil, in ISO 8601 format. Include time and timezone when known.
7. If aggregateRating present: ratingValue and reviewCount required
8. Do not include fake reviews or undisclosed incentivized reviews in visible content or structured data. Clearly and prominently disclose incentives.

Cross-Skill Integration

UCP: Universal Commerce Protocol (live)

Google-initiated open standard (co-developed with Shopify, Etsy, Wayfair, Target, Walmart; payment partners Visa/Mastercard/Stripe/Adyen/Amex) for letting AI agents discover, negotiate, and transact with merchants without one-off integrations. Google confirms a first reference implementation for conversational buying in AI Mode in Search. Broader Universal Cart rollout details are reported from Google I/O 2026 keynote coverage; not confirmed on a Google-owned source. ucp.dev lists 2026-04-08 as the latest release in its date-based versioning scheme, not 1.0; two integration paths: Native (default) and Embedded (approved merchants). Pairs with AP2 (reportedly moving toward FIDO governance). Canonical: developers.google.com/merchant/ucp and ucp.dev.

Merchants already on Google Merchant Center with clean Product schema can declare a UCP profile at /.well-known/ucp listing capabilities (dev.ucp.shopping.checkout, .fulfillment, .discount). See references/ucp-universal-commerce-protocol.md for audit criteria, capability examples, and the relationship to AP2 (Agent Payments Protocol).

Audit command

bashCopy code
# Discover and validate the UCP profile
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run ucp_check.py https://store.example.com --json

# With endpoint reachability probes (HEAD each declared capability)
"${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run ucp_check.py https://store.example.com --probe-endpoints --json

The script returns: profile presence, version, declared capabilities, structural issues (missing fields, unknown capability IDs), and (with --probe-endpoints) per-endpoint reachability. SSRF-blocked endpoints are reported explicitly. Missing profile is reported as opportunity, not failure. UCP itself is live; what's early is broad merchant adoption. Flag a literal "version": "1.0" as invalid (UCP versions are date-based, e.g. 2026-04-08).
