Is the SEO Ads skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from seranking/seo-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the SEO Ads SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 5/5.

How do I install SEO Ads?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use SEO Ads with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 13, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 2446ade

Ran a real baseline against stripe.com's paid-search landscape with plain web search — got generic listicles about competitor-bidding tactics and zero actual keyword/CPC/ad-copy numbers, which is exactly the gap SE Ranking's domain-level data is built to fill; couldn't verify the skill's real output quality here because SE Ranking's MCP wasn't connected in this environment.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

Installs cleanly 4/5

What SEO Ads does

Pulls SE Ranking's PPC data to map a domain's paid keyword footprint or a full keyword's bidding landscape, clusters competitor ad-copy into recurring patterns (pricing-led, outcome-led, trust-led), and inventories SERP ad/shopping-pack presence. Produces an ADS.md brief plus a recommended-keywords.csv shortlist for the PPC team; triggers on paid-search, PPC-competitive, ad-copy-intelligence, or 'who bids on this keyword' requests. Requires a connected, paid SE Ranking MCP account — it does not work standalone.

How to install SEO Ads
