Frequently Asked Questions
What does the setup wizard configure?
The wizard walks through seven steps: installing Python dependencies, creating three essential context files (brand voice, product features, writing examples), setting up recommended context files (internal links map, target keywords, style guide, competitor analysis), connecting optional data sources (GA4, Search Console, DataForSEO), configuring WordPress publishing, setting up competitor configuration, and verifying the setup works.
What's the minimum setup to get started?
The quick start takes about 5 minutes: fill out brand-voice.md with your tone and messaging, features.md with your product details, and writing-examples.md with 3-5 exemplary blog posts from your site. Then you can immediately use /research [topic] and /write [topic] commands.
Do I need all the data source integrations?
No. GA4, Search Console, DataForSEO, and WordPress are all optional. Without them, SEO Machine still creates quality content based on your context files. The data integrations enable data-driven content prioritization, performance reviews, and direct publishing, but they are not required to write articles.
Does it work in Claude.ai chat?
No, this skill requires file system access to create configuration files, pip install to set up Python dependencies, and writing to .env for API credentials. It needs to run in Claude Code (CLI or IDE).
