SearchLaneSEO data for your AI agent
Without real data, an agent gives generic SEO advice. Connect SearchLane and it audits your site, fixes the issues in your code, researches keywords, checks who ranks in Google and who AI answers cite, and tracks your positions.

Next steps, done by your agent
A site audit in the app ends with the next step, and the dashboard keeps your plan: what to change, why it comes first and how SearchLane checks it. Pick “Your AI with SearchLane” and press Copy prompt: the prompt tells your agent to get that step with get_next_steps, make the change and, once you confirm it is live, close it with complete_task. For audit steps, the next audit shows in the app whether it worked. Or just ask: “Take the next step for example.com from SearchLane and do it.”
Skills for Claude Code
Ready workflows on top of the tools: seo-audit (audit, fix in code, report the rest), keyword-research, competitor-analysis, ai-visibility, link-prospecting and seo-coach (one next step at a time, for non-specialists). Each reads the project context first, so the agent does not ask about your business twice.
Questions
How much does it cost?
Plans start with Pro at $10 a month with $10 of usage included; Team and Agency include more. New accounts get $0.50 of free credits to try it. Site audits do not use credits; they have a daily limit (2 on Free, 10 on Pro).
Can the agent spend all my credits?
Every paid call is priced before it runs and fails with a clear message when the balance is short. Nothing is charged for failed lookups.
Is my API key stored?
Only a hash of it. The key is shown once when you create it; you can revoke it, or disconnect a signed-in app, any time in the app.
Where does the data come from?
Search data comes from DataForSEO; site audits are our own crawler, the same one as in the Website SEO Checker extension.
