NotFair Plugin

45 open SEO, GEO, content, and ads skills for coding agents, plus a hosted MCP for live ad and analytics accounts.

Free · Growth: $79 per month

Use it when
  • I want my coding agent to audit my site and write the fixes and content, using procedures I can read and tune
  • I manage ad accounts and want an agent to find wasted spend and propose changes I approve
An agent cannot reach
  • Publish the content it writes
Gotchas
  • Skills that touch live accounts need the hosted NotFair MCP: 7 days unlimited, then 300 operations per month on the free tier
  • The hosted MCP is where account data flows; the open repo is the procedures, not the connector
  • Vertical fit is marketing and SEO more than publishing; only the content-writer and GEO skills produce publishable material
  • Renamed from TopRank after its Show HN; older references use the old name

SEOmator SEO Audit

332-rule SEO audit as a CLI, desktop app, and Claude Code skill, tuned by a seomator.toml.

Free · SEOmator hosted

Use it when
  • I want my agent to audit a site and hand me a prioritized fix list before I publish
  • I want an SEO check in CI that fails the build when a page regresses
An agent cannot reach
  • Track score history over time
  • Use the hosted SEOmator web audit
Gotchas
  • Core Web Vitals need a system Chrome, Chromium, or Edge; use --no-cwv on headless boxes without one
  • Desktop app needs electron-rebuild for the native SQLite module
  • Vertical fit is SEO tooling rather than publishing; it audits pages, it does not publish them
