# Analytics
GOOGLE_ANALYTICS_PROPERTY_ID=GA4-PROPERTY-ID

Troubleshooting

Command not recognized:

• Ensure skill is registered: /read ~/.claude/skills/r09-travisvn-awesome-claude-skills-seo/SKILL.md
• Check skill name matches directory

Incomplete analysis:

• Use --scope full for comprehensive results
• Check network access for external URL analysis
• Verify target URL is accessible

Export failures:

• Ensure write permissions in output directory
• Use absolute paths for --export
• Check disk space availability

Workflow timeouts:

• Use --scope quick for faster analysis
• Break large sites into sections with --filter
• Run workflows in stages rather than end-to-end

Missing data in reports:

• Some commands require API keys (see Environment Variables)
• Check that target site allows crawling (robots.txt)
• Verify Search Console access for owned domains
