Announcing the SEO BOT - A simple bot to improve SEO .
Good evening to everyone , I hope you all are doing well .
SEO
We all know for a blogging platform like Hive , LeoFinance how important SEO is . A lot of users like @hitmeasap and others constantly post about the importance of SEO and also how we can include some small changes in our posts to improve the SEO metrics .
From last week I was thinking about building a simple bot which helps users to improve their content with respect to SEO .
I won't go in depth about what SEO is , why it is important because if you look at @hitmeasap posts he explains it better than I ever can .
SEO BOT
I want to officially announce the @seo.bot today although there are tons of stuff which will be added to it in future .
Need for this bot?
How many of us knew this? Not many of us really count the characters in the title . Right?
So what the bot does is whenever the command is triggered it parses the post and checks for these small things in post and lets you know what small changes you can do in your post .
Features
Checks for Title length .
Checks for permlink length .
You can change your permlink -
Ex: On LeoFinance you can click the pencil icon in the link preview and type your own permlink text -
Checks for Images - Images are very important in posts for SEO .
Checks for Header 1 and Header 2.
- You can use # for Header 1 and ## for header 2 in your posts , these seems to be important for SEO .
Relation between Header and Title .
- It is also important to have keywords in the header so the bot searches if you have used the keyword used in your title in your header too atleast once .
Internal and External links .
Right now internal links refers to any links which redirects to a tribe within Hive ecosystem . That means , if you have a link in your posts which redirects to
- hive.blog
- peakd
- leofinance
- stemgeeks
- ctptalk
- sportstalksocial
- ecency
- 3speak
- vimm
- d.buzz
I have considered all the above as internal link because they all belong to Hive ecosystem . If you know more tribe websites and if I haven't added it here please let me know in the comments I will add them .
All the links except the above is considered as external links .
It is suggested that we use both internal and external links in our posts to improve SEO rankings.
How to call the bot - !SEOcheck
The command to trigger the bot is - !SEOcheck . It is not case sensitive so you can use seocheck , SEOCHECK or any combination of uppercase lowercase letters but don't forget the Exclamation mark .
Where is the bot running?
On my raspberry pi . I do have to mention that sometimes my WiFi doesn't work ( I live in a rural area so the coverage is poor here ) but I will make sure all the command calls are responded to ASAP .
Try it out yourself and see if it helps you . If you find any irregularities in the bot , feel free to reply to the same bot , I will check once daily and try to fix it .
Regards,
MR.

Ok, cool .... should I call it as a comment under the post?
No @dalz , in the post itself.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey I just updated the code , you can call it from comment section itself now :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Title is of good length- Perfect
Permlink is of good length-Perfect
Header 1 found but Header 2 not found- Add H2
Image available-Perfect
Title keywords are used in header-Perfect
Internal link found-Perfect
External link found-Perfect
@amr008 I think you need to fix something :P

This is really cool! I am going to have to check it out. I have never really paid much attention to what my posts look like or do in terms of SEO. It is something that I kind of know is out there, but I don't really think about it too much. This might help to bring it front and center for me.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Let me know if you try it out :) Right now you can call it only from posts but from tomorrow you can call it from comment itself :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh, that would be really awesome to call it from the comment. I will definitely have to try it out at some point. I had already had my post written for the day when I noticed your post this morning.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No worries , by the time you author your next post I will make sure I have implemented the updates :)
Calling from comments makes more sense than from the post to be honest.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah, that will be awesome.
I just updated it , although I will create a post mentioning the updates later on you can start calling it from comment section from now on .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cool!
This is really nice. I will try it out in the future if I remember for my posts. It's helpful to always know what you can do better SEO-wise.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yeah I always wonder did I post properly after I posted so maybe this will help users. I will update it a bit tonight and will let you know in @leomarkettalk tomorrow .

This is amazing! I think I will try it out :)
Reg your internal links, I think you should also add actifit.io (links by @actifit)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh yes you are right , I will add it tonight , thank you .
I will update the code so that you can call from comment section itself from tomorrow :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta

If you no longer want to receive notifications, reply to this comment with the word
STOP
That is great
Keep on the Good work
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Cheers , thanks for stopping by :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
That's pretty cool!
I tried to call it as a comment but realized that you have to do it within the actual post. Is there a way to make it so I could call the bot within a comment instead of the article? It wouldn't look as weird within a comment.
Great job though, I appreciate the efforts!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes definitely , I will update the code tonight and will publish it tomorrow so that you can call it from comment section itself .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey the code has been updated , you can call from comment section itself .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is so cool man. Love the concept. I have one doubt though, once we get the suggestions from the bot and make changes in the post, can we call it again to check if the changes made any difference?
Great effort buddy, this will intentionally put us in a good habit of nailing SEO everytime we post. Awesome!!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey @finguru , I replied you earlier itself but not sure where it went lol .
You can edit and post it again and the bot will suggest for the updated post .
But it is just for today because I will update the code to allow the bot call from comment itself so you need not use it from post , if you just call it from comment it will check the parent post and reply for that .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great move. Because !seocheck within the post would confuse some people. Using the command in comment section is perfect. Really impressive @amr008.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Totally , you are 100% right .
:) Thank you for your kind words .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Another amazing addition to the tools here. You never cease to amaze me! :-) I'll definitely try to keep all of these things in mind as I write my posts. Just keep the awareness spreading.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you very much . will update it so that you can call it from comment section itself . Right now you need to call it from post itself .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I did not know it was possible to change permlink at Léo Finance, it looks like really Leo team is a few step forward.
Thanks for the tool
I believe it is possible on peakd too but I might be wrong.
These things I feel are necessary :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yet another great job, my friend!
Congratulations and thanks for this great tool! I'll reblog it as I believe a lot of people can benefit from this!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you buddy. I just updated the code so that people can call it from comments itself .

Another great offering towards the strengthening of the content quality. I have also re-tweeted the same. Keep doing a great job
Hey thank you buddy :) will try to keep it updated with new things
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
can we use the bot after it being posted or when its still in the draf?
very nice, and thank your for making the bot
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Well after it is posted .
Because when it is in draft , it won't be on blockchain so I will have no access to it .
You can call it from comment now , just use the SEOcheck with exclamation in the comment section after you have authored your post :)
My pleasure :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Where do i have to vćall the bot, in the post or in the comment?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Have enabled both the option. You can call it from either post or in the comment .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
So when i wrote my post i give this under the Text, and when i press post, the SEO will be checked?
Can i check it, before i publish the post?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No sir that is not possible because that way I have no access to it . Only once it is on the blockchain the bot can see your content and parse it , until then it won't be visible to the bot .
These are the steps you can follow
ok, thanks! will the comment be publshed! I guess yes, but it is better to delete, after the Check was done.
Oh yes sir , the comment will be published but yeah you can delete that I guess later on .
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is cool stuff :D
Thank you :)
If you try it out , let me know how it went.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
These are excellent tips, I know that I came to your blog for a reason today.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh man those are really kind words :)
Let me know how it goes if you use the bot in your posts :)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
This is lit! I try to use a lot of SEO elements in my post, so this tool will help me improve it a lot! Thanks for this!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Hey , if you use it , let me know how it went okay ? If you see any irregularities reply to the same comment posted by seo.bot I will check it :)
If it helps you I am more than happy :)

Yes, this is absolutely something we need and should actually be built into every front end, along with spelling and grammar checkers. I think these kinds of touches could really boost overall content quality and improve search rankings.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you @kendewitt . Spelling check is inbuilt in leofinance I guess because it shows you the red line if we misspell .
This is a simple bot but I am working on it whenever I get time to improve it .
