Getting started
How it works
What SERPclimber does, the observe-audit-prioritize-work-verify-report loop, and how much the engine owns.
SERPclimber is an SEO workspace organized around projects. Each project is one website: its goal, business context, connected data, allowed scope, and autonomy policy.
Free projects can collect connected first-party data. Managed projects also run the engine's continuous loop:
- Observe — crawl the site, check how AI engines answer questions in your space, and add Search Console or GA4 measurements when connected.
- Audit — turn those observations into evidence-backed issues and opportunities, grouped by department.
- Prioritize — re-rank the backlog against the project goal every hour and promote only the most useful findings into Tasks.
- Work — execute approved tasks through the engine, you, or an external agent connected over MCP.
- Verify — check the live result and measure the outcome when a measurement window is useful.
- Report — write weekly or monthly digests of what changed, what improved, and what comes next.
The workspace
Projects added from Search Console open on Performance → SEO; manually added projects open on Tasks. Each has five sections: Performance (with SEO, GA4, AI answers, Crawlers, and Authority tabs), Tasks, Audit, Reports, and Settings. Every task has a project-wide number such as #42 and its own thread, where evidence, plans, approvals, receipts, and your comments live together.
The assistant entry point appears throughout the workspace: on its own page, in a pane pinned beside any page, and behind Explain with AI on Performance cards. Replies require a paid plan, and project-specific analysis requires a managed site; free projects show an upgrade path. Once managed, ask it what needs you, why a task exists, or what a chart means. See Chat.
How much the engine owns
- Audit only / MCP — the engine observes, files findings, and plans. You or your external agent perform every change.
- Copilot — the engine performs low-risk, reversible work and asks before risky, external, or paid actions. New projects start here.
- Full — the engine performs everything its policy allows, including paid evidence within budget.
- Custom — set a default rule and override it per department or action class.
Start by connecting your data and adding a free site from your Search Console catalog, or add a site manually. Make a site managed when you want automated audits and paid research.
