What is OpenSEO?

OpenSEO is an open-source SEO platform for keyword research, competitor analysis, backlink checks, rank tracking, and technical site audits. It uses DataForSEO data and connects to AI assistants through MCP, allowing users to run research and SEO workflows from clients such as Claude, Codex, and ChatGPT.

Users can find and save keyword opportunities, inspect competing domains, monitor search positions, and crawl pages for technical issues. Google Search Console integration gives agents access to a site's search performance data. Agent workflows cover SEO coaching, audits, keyword research, and competitor analysis, with research saved as readable reports and project context retained for later sessions.

OpenSEO also tracks mentions and citations in AI search results and lets users compare prompt responses across supported models. Users can self-host the software or subscribe to the hosted service. Hosted plans include monthly usage credits, with additional charges for new data lookups; saved results, projects, exports, and Google Search Console data do not consume credits.
