SEO Optimizer Kit - Use Cases

Who This Is For

Developers managing web properties who need to improve search rankings and user experience. Perfect for those building Next.js sites, SPAs, or performance-critical applications struggling with Core Web Vitals or technical SEO.

---

Use Case 1: Fixing Core Web Vitals to Improve Rankings

Scenario: Your site ranks #3-5 but slower competitors rank higher. Google Search Console shows poor Core Web Vitals (LCP >3s, CLS >0.15).

Prompt: /optimize-bundle-size - Analyze current bundle, identify unused code, and apply tree-shaking.

Outcome: Reduce bundle size, faster LCP (<2.5s), improve rankings as a tie-breaker factor. Studies show 31% LCP improvement = 8% more sales.

---

Use Case 2: Performance Audit for Technical SEO Compliance

Scenario: You're launching a new product site and need to meet technical SEO baseline before promotion.

Prompt: /performance-audit - Run Core Web Vitals analysis, check mobile-first indexing readiness, scan for Core Web Vital violations.

Outcome: Report on LCP, INP (<200ms), CLS (<0.1), mobile responsiveness, and structured data readiness for search engines.

---

Use Case 3: Next.js SSR/SSG Performance Analysis

Scenario: Your Next.js app uses dynamic routes and you're unsure if SSR is hurting page speed or if SSG would be better.

Prompt: /nextjs-performance-audit - Analyze SSR/SSG impact, identify slow rendering paths, check hydration performance.

Outcome: Specific recommendations (enable ISR, switch routes to SSG, optimize image loading) tied to Core Web Vitals improvements.

Quick Start Workflow

1. Run /performance-audit to establish baseline metrics and identify bottlenecks
2. Use /optimize-bundle-size to reduce JavaScript payload (major LCP factor)
3. For Next.js sites, run /nextjs-performance-audit to optimize rendering strategy
4. Monitor results: expect 28-day lag before ranking improvements appear in Google Search Console
5. Document changes—meta tags, schema markup improvements, structured data additions

Pro Tips

• Structured Data Matters: Implement JSON-LD schema (Article, Product, FAQ) to rank in rich results and help AI search engines understand your content.
• Meta Tags Still Count: Title tags and descriptions influence CTR from SERPs; 37% better CTR with optimization. Use 55-60 characters for titles.
• Mobile-First is Real: Google ranks mobile performance first. Optimize viewport tags and test on mobile devices—each 100ms delay = 7% conversion loss.
• 28-Day Window: Core Web Vitals improvements take ~28 days to impact rankings. Use Search Console to track changes.
• Relevance > Speed: Content quality matters most. Speed acts as a tie-breaker between pages of similar quality/relevance.
