SEO Vendor Replacement Stack

The Problem

SEO retainers ($1,500-3,000/mo) are mostly keyword research, competitor scanning, brief writing, and rank tracking — work that Claude can do with the right tools.

The Scavio Solution

Claude Code + Scavio MCP + Ahrefs Lite (for rank tracking only). Replaces 80% of an SEO retainer's work for ~$200/mo total.

Who It Is For

SaaS founders firing SEO agencies, in-house marketing leads productizing SEO, agencies productizing their own delivery.

Key Benefits

• 10x cost reduction vs retainer
• Live SERP data via Scavio MCP
• AI Overview citations included
• Briefs reflect today's SERP, not last month's
• Honest constraint: technical SEO still needs a human

Python Example

# Most workflow happens in Claude Code interactions, not Python.
# Optional cron rank-tracker:
import requests, os
H = {'x-api-key': os.environ['SCAVIO_API_KEY']}
def track(keyword, target_domain):
    r = requests.post('https://api.scavio.dev/api/v1/search', headers=H, json={'query': keyword}).json()
    for i, result in enumerate(r.get('organic_results', []), 1):
        if target_domain in result['link']: return i
    return None

JavaScript Example

// Same — most of this is Claude Code interactions; cron tracker in any language.
