Position + CompetitorsInstant download · license included · no subscription

This skill turns your AI assistant into a keyword rank checker and competitor analysis tool in one. Drop the SKILL.md file into Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex, point it at your site and your keywords, and it reports your live Google position for each term, the competitor holding the top spot, and the concrete gap between you and them (word count, FAQ coverage, schema, reviews, local signals). It focuses on the keywords that already earn impressions so you spend effort where it matters, works region by region for local search, and compares against your last check so you can see whether your SEO is moving up, holding, or slipping. It is read only: it measures and reports, it never touches your website.

What you gain
  • Know your real Google position for every keyword that already gets seen, not a vague average
  • See who ranks number one for each term and the specific reason they are ahead
  • Get a clear gap list per keyword: what the leader has that you do not
  • Track movement over time (up, down, or holding) against your previous check
  • Check rankings by city or region so local results reflect where your buyers actually search
  • Skip guesswork and expensive tools: it prioritizes the terms that already draw traffic
How it works, step by step
  • 1
    Drop the skill in

    Add the SKILL.md file to your AI assistant (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex). Nothing to install, no login, no API key of your own.

  • 2
    Tell it your site and keywords

    Give it your domain, the keywords you care about, and your city or target region. If you have search data, it uses it; if not, it works from the keyword list you provide.

  • 3
    It pulls what already gets seen

    It reads your traffic and search signals to find the pages and keywords that already earn impressions, then focuses the ranking check on those so no effort is wasted on dead terms.

  • 4
    It checks live positions and the leader

    For each keyword it looks up your current position on Google in the right region, plus the site sitting at number one, so you always see yourself against the actual competitor ahead of you.

  • 5
    It confirms before anything it needs

    If it needs more scope, a region, or your go-ahead to measure a larger set, it asks first and shows you the plan. It never edits or publishes anything to your site.

  • 6
    It compares with last time

    It checks your positions against the previous run and marks each keyword as moved up, moved down, or held, with a plain verdict on whether your SEO improved.

  • 7
    You get the report

    A clean table lands in your chat: keyword, page, region, position now, position before, the change, the number one competitor, and the insight to close the gap.

What it generates
  • A keyword ranking table: position now, position before, and the change per keyword
  • The number one competitor for each keyword with the reason they hold the spot
  • A per-keyword gap list (content depth, FAQ, schema, reviews, local signals) to close
  • Region-by-region position views for local search
  • A short insights block plus a verdict: improved, stable, or slipping
  • A running snapshot so every future check shows real movement over time
Variations

Local rank check by city

Run positions city by city so multi-location or service-area businesses see exactly where they stand in each market, not a blurred national average.

Competitor gap focus

Zoom in on the keywords where a rival outranks you and get the specific reasons (depth, FAQ, schema, reviews) so your next content move is targeted, not generic.

FAQ
What exactly is this skill?

It is a SKILL.md file that turns your AI assistant into a keyword rank checker and competitor analysis tool. You give it your domain and keywords, and it reports your live Google position, the site ranking number one for each term, the gap to close, and whether you moved up or down since your last check. It reads and reports only; it never edits your website.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?

Yes. It runs in any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You drop the file in and start using it the same way in each.

Do I need to install anything or set up an API key?

No. There is no separate app to install, no account to create, no subscription, and no API key of your own to configure. Add the SKILL.md file to your assistant and it works.

Can it check local rankings by city?

Yes. It checks positions region by region, so local businesses and service-area companies see where they rank in each city instead of a single national average that hides the real picture.

Will it show me who is ahead of me and why?

Yes. For each keyword it identifies the site at number one and reports the concrete gap: things like deeper content, a cost FAQ, schema markup, reviews, or local signals the leader has and you do not.

Do I need SEO, design, or coding skills to use it?

No. You describe your site and keywords in plain language, the skill asks before anything it needs, and it returns a clear table with a plain verdict. No coding, no design, and no SEO background required.

New to AI skills?

An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Position + Competitors is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.

It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, position + competitors asks you for it first instead of inventing.

Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.

How to install and run it
  1. Download the file after checkout you get the SKILL.md plus a short README and your license.
  2. Add it to your AI drop SKILL.md into your skills folder (for example .claude/skills/) or paste its contents as a custom instruction.
  3. Run it ask your AI to use Position + Competitors, give it what it asks for, and it does the work.
