🛠️ Core Capabilities & Workflows

All scripts are in the skill's base directory <base_dir>/scripts/.

1. Instant URL Submission (No Verification File Needed)

Submit new or updated page URLs to Bing for fast crawling and indexing. This bypasses the need to upload any .txt or .html verification files since the domain is already validated in your Bing/GSC account.

Submit a single URL:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/submit_urls.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --urls "https://zymetalforming.com/new-product-page.html"

Submit a batch of URLs:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/submit_urls.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --urls "https://zymetalforming.com/page1.html,https://zymetalforming.com/page2.html"

Submit URLs from a text file:

Create a text file with one URL per line and run:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/submit_urls.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --file "path/to/urls.txt"

2. Fetch SEO Traffic & Search Statistics

Retrieve various search engine statistics directly from Bing.

Method 1: Get Rank & Traffic Stats

Find out how impressions and clicks are trending over the last few weeks:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/fetch_data.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --method rank_traffic

Method 2: Get Keyword Rankings (Queries)

Analyze the exact query search terms driving clicks and impressions, along with CTR and search positions:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/fetch_data.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --method query_stats

Method 3: Get Crawl Health Statistics

Monitor crawler activity, successfully crawled pages, and crawling errors:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/fetch_data.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --method crawl_stats

Method 4: Get Remaining Submission Quota

Check how many more URLs you can submit today and this month:

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/fetch_data.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --method quota

3. Generate a Complete Markdown SEO Report

You can query all statistics at once and compile them into a unified Markdown report, suitable for automated emails, Slack/DingTalk push messages, or client deliverables.

python3 <base_dir>/scripts/fetch_data.py --site-url "https://zymetalforming.com" --method all

Output Structure of all Method:

• URL Submission Quota Status
• Recent Rank & Traffic (Last 10 Records table)
• Top Search Keywords (Driving Traffic table containing Query, Clicks, Impressions, CTR, Position)
• Crawl Health (Date, Pages Crawled, Crawl Errors table)

🎯 Best Practices & Automation

Automated Bi-weekly Audit Integration

You can schedule automated audits using the workspace scheduler tool. For example, to run an audit every 1st and 16th of the month and save the report or push it via webhook:

1. Create a scheduled AI task:

   {
     "action": "create",
     "name": "Bi-weekly Bing SEO Audit",
     "schedule_type": "cron",
     "schedule_value": "0 10 1,16 * *",
     "ai_task": "Run the bing-webmaster-helper 'all' report for https://zymetalforming.com and push the summary to the DingTalk Webhook."
   }
