Why jev-seo?

Semrush and Ahrefs cost upwards of $130 per month. OpenSEO still requires paid DataForSEO credit cards. Most SEO suites are bloated web dashboards filled with vanity charts.

• Zero subscriptions (₹0): Scrapes DuckDuckGo HTML and suggest endpoints directly. No credit cards, no paid API keys.
• TypeSafe Jev System One: Semantic intent classification, competitive gap detection, and AI visibility (GEO) scored deterministically without conversational LLM hallucinations.
• Batch Directory Auditing: Audits hundreds of markdown/HTML files in <1 second, detecting title collisions, canonical mismatches, and thin pages.
• 2026 Schema.org Validator: Deeply inspects JSON-LD schemas (SoftwareApplication, Article, Organization, Product) and flags deprecated schemas.
• Robots.txt & AI Crawler Radar: Evaluates permissions for AI bots (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Bytespider).
• SERP Content Briefs: Synthesizes competitor SERP snippets into an actionable content blueprint with H2 outlines and optimal 134-167 word GEO blocks.
• Agent native (MCP): Native stdio JSON-RPC 2.0 MCP server directly feeds 7 SEO tools into Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity.
• Local & private: All rank tracking and audit histories persist in a single local SQLite database (.jev-seo.db).
• Low RAM footprint: Fast native Rust binary that runs in under 30MB RAM on resource-constrained machines.

Quickstart

# Install via Cargo (crates.io)
cargo install jev-seo

# Set your free TypeSafe key for semantic oracle scoring
export TYPESAFE_API_KEY=your_key_here

# Run a live SERP competitive radar check
jev-seo query "offline expense tracker android"

# Audit a single file or an entire documentation directory
jev-seo audit docs/

# Validate JSON-LD Schema.org markup
jev-seo schema index.html

# Check AI crawler permissions on a live domain
jev-seo robots github.com

# Generate a SERP-driven content brief
jev-seo brief "agentic skills" --limit 5

# Track domain rankings over time (saved to local SQLite)
jev-seo rank --domain "crates.io" --query "rust grep"

# Start the Native Agent MCP Server
jev-seo mcp

Workflows

1. Batch Directory & File On-Page Audit

jev-seo audit content/posts/

Recursively scans all markdown and HTML files, identifies title collisions, detects thin content (<300 words), verifies canonical links, and flags image alt deficiencies.

2. JSON-LD Schema.org Validation

jev-seo schema content/guide.md

Validates required properties across SoftwareApplication, Article, Organization, and Product. Flags deprecated schema types (e.g. HowTo rich results).

3. Robots.txt & AI Crawler Inspection

jev-seo robots example.com

Audits robots.txt directives specifically for modern generative AI indexers:

• GPTBot (OpenAI model training)
• ClaudeBot & anthropic-ai (Anthropic)
• PerplexityBot (Perplexity citation engine)
• Google-Extended (Gemini training)
• Bytespider (ByteDance)

4. SERP-Driven Content Brief Generator

jev-seo brief "fast local sqlite tui" --markdown

Pulls live DuckDuckGo competitors, calculates optimal word count, and uses Jev System One fan-out to generate an actionable heading outline with a 150-word GEO direct-answer prescription.

5. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)

jev-seo geo README.md --query "agentic skills framework for coding agents"

Calculates citation probability for Perplexity, SearchGPT, and Gemini Overviews using Jev Score (1-10) and Noul.

Non-Goals

• No bloated electron or cloud web dashboards.
• No paid third-party API dependencies (no forced DataForSEO subscriptions).
• No generative AI prose synthesis (Jev is used strictly as a deterministic evaluation oracle).

Ecosystem

• design-genius — Autonomous design system intelligence for web applications
• akash-design-engineering — High-performance editorial brutalist design tokens and cookbook
• tdlib-android — Precompiled TDLib native binaries for all 4 Android ABIs
• kharcha — India-first offline-first UPI expense tracker for Android
