OpenSEO Competitive Landscape

Goal

Answer: "Who is winning this SEO market, what content is working for them, and where are the openings?"

Use this when the user wants a market-level view across several competitors. For a deep dive on one domain, use competitor-analysis.

Required inputs

• projectId
• Topic, seed keywords, market/category, or user's domain
• Optional known competitors
• Optional location/language

Project context

The project-context tools are free and shared with the app and other agents.

1. Call get_project_context first and ground the market read in it, the saved competitors are the starting roster, and the business and positioning decide who counts as a competitor.
2. This skill needs competitors. If none are saved, run a minimal inline setup: ask the user who they compete with, or infer a shortlist from find_serp_competitors and the site and confirm it, write it back with update_project_context (addCompetitors), then continue the landscape work. Never front-load the full interview; suggest seo-project-setup at the end for the rest.
3. Before spending credits, check the research log. If the same research ran within the last 30 days, reuse that result and say so instead of re-buying it.
4. On finish, write back what is durable with update_project_context, every confirmed competitor via addCompetitors with a short note on why they matter, plus removeCompetitors for entries you added that turned out irrelevant (leave rows the user added alone), and append a research log entry: { appendResearchLog: { summary: "Competitive landscape: <market/query set>. Verdict: <conclusion>" } }.

Deliver as a report

Deliver through the seo-report skill, saving with skill: "competitive-landscape". If that skill is not available, say so and stop before writing HTML.
