# SearchSignal Product Messaging

## Positioning statement

For developers, growth teams, agencies, founders, and publishers who use AI to research, plan, write, or code, SearchSignal is an agent-native SEO intelligence platform that makes live audits, opportunities, keyword evidence, competitor gaps, rankings, backlinks, and content context available through MCP and authenticated HTTP calls. Unlike a disconnected SEO dashboard, SearchSignal keeps the evidence inside the environment where the next action is produced.

## Message hierarchy

### 1. Operational change

**Turn any AI agent into an SEO operator.**

The customer should understand the workflow change before the acronym: their AI can retrieve the authorized SEO workspace directly.

### 2. Connection model

**One token. MCP for compatible clients. Bearer HTTP for everything else.**

Name the environments people already use: Cursor, Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Windsurf, VS Code, ChatGPT-based workflows, and custom agents.

### 3. Capability depth

SearchSignal is not a thin connector. It includes:

- technical and on-page audits;
- prioritized opportunities;
- keyword exploration, ideas, lists, and bulk analysis;
- competitor and domain analysis;
- rank and Search Console context;
- backlink workflows;
- content briefs and assisted writing;
- agent-ready workspace packs.

### 4. Commercial entry

**Start free. Upgrade when licensed data and scale pay for themselves.**

The public product currently positions Free as the complete core workflow with MCP and API access. Pro deepens the same loop with licensed metrics, live backlinks, larger crawls, and higher limits. Confirm production entitlements before every campaign launch.

## Audience messages

### Developers

Put search evidence inside the repository-aware build loop. Retrieve the current audit, map approved fixes to files and routes, and verify the implementation without rebuilding context.

### Agencies

Standardize research, priority, handoff, and review across projects. The agent retrieves the current workspace; the agency keeps judgment, client communication, and approval.

### Founders

Identify the primary search bottleneck and allocate a small team to the highest-leverage work. Avoid buying a stack of disconnected tools before the operating loop is clear.

### Publishers

Prioritize clusters before generating pages. Prevent intent overlap, build stronger briefs, refresh near-winners, and keep technical quality visible as the library grows.

## Objection handling

**“Is this just another dashboard?”**  
No. The interface is available for setup and inspection, but the differentiator is the MCP/API delivery layer that lets the agent retrieve live project evidence.

**“Why not paste an export into ChatGPT?”**  
Exports immediately lose freshness, project scope, follow-up detail, and reliable provenance. SearchSignal lets the agent request the current object it needs.

**“Does it automatically change my site?”**  
SearchSignal supplies structured evidence and planning context. Production changes depend on the permissions and controls of the connected environment. Keep approval and verification explicit.

**“Does it guarantee rankings?”**  
No. It improves the quality and speed of the evidence-to-delivery process. Search outcomes remain uncertain and depend on competition, implementation, demand, crawl and indexing behavior, authority, and time.

**“Why pay for Pro?”**  
Upgrade when licensed Google metrics, live backlink data, deeper crawls, and higher daily capacity create more value than their cost. Do not force Pro before the customer reaches that need.

## Approved short descriptions

**25 words:**  
SearchSignal gives AI agents live SEO audits, keyword research, competitors, rankings, backlinks, and prioritized actions through one MCP/API token.

**50 words:**  
SearchSignal is the agent-native SEO intelligence layer for Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, Windsurf, VS Code, and custom agents. Connect one token and retrieve live audits, opportunities, keyword research, competitor gaps, rankings, backlinks, and workspace context without copying reports into every conversation.

**100 words:**  
SearchSignal turns the SEO workspace into callable intelligence for AI. Teams can research and inspect projects in the web application, then connect one token to compatible MCP clients or authenticated HTTP agents. Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT-based workflows, Windsurf, VS Code, and custom agents can retrieve current audits, prioritized opportunities, keyword evidence, competitors, rankings, backlinks, and compact workspace briefings while planning or delivering the work. The Free plan is positioned around the complete core loop; Pro adds deeper licensed data and scale. SearchSignal does not promise rankings—it makes the evidence-to-action process faster, clearer, and easier to verify.
