INTRO (0:00 - 0:30)

Hey everyone. So about a month ago I showed you Claude SEO — the universal SEO skill for Claude Code. Since then, the project has gone from around 2,000 stars to over 3,500, which is insane. Thank you.

But I haven't just been watching the numbers grow — I've been shipping. We went from v1.5 to v1.7.2, and in this video I'm going to walk you through the biggest updates: Google API integration, AI image generation with Banana, the extension system, and marketplace compliance.

Let's get into it.

SECTION 1: Google SEO APIs (0:30 - 2:15)

*[Screen: Show terminal with Claude Code open]*

The biggest addition is direct Google API integration. Claude SEO can now pull live data from Google's own APIs — Search Console, PageSpeed Insights, CrUX, GA4, and even the Indexing API.

*[Type: `/seo google psi https://example.com`]*

So here I'm running a PageSpeed check. This isn't just lab data — it pulls real Chrome User Experience data, the actual Core Web Vitals that Google uses for ranking.

The cool part is the credential system. There are four tiers. Tier 0 — just a free API key — gives you PageSpeed and CrUX. Tier 1 adds OAuth for Search Console and the Indexing API. Tier 2 adds GA4 organic traffic data. And Tier 3 unlocks the Keyword Planner if you have a Google Ads account.

You can start with just Tier 0. One API key, completely free, and you already get live Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse scores.

And all of this data feeds into professional PDF reports. A4 format, charts, color-coded scores, table of contents — something you can actually send to a client.

Now in v1.7.2, you can also export to Excel.

*[Type: `/seo google report full --format xlsx`]*

Same data, but in a spreadsheet. Queries, pages, indexation status — all in separate sheets with filters and frozen headers. Clients love spreadsheets. You can even do `--format all` and get PDF, HTML, and Excel at once.

SECTION 2: Banana — AI Image Generation (2:15 - 3:15)

*[Screen: Terminal]*

The second feature I want to show is the Banana extension — AI image generation for SEO assets. This uses Google Gemini to generate images directly from Claude Code.

*[Type: `/seo image-gen og "AI-powered SEO audit tool"`]*

So I just asked it to generate an Open Graph image. Claude acts as a creative director — it builds a detailed prompt, picks the right model, generates the image, and saves it. About two cents per image.

You can generate OG images, blog hero graphics, product shots, infographics — six use cases out of the box.

The skill also does SEO image audits — it checks your existing images fo
