Manus adds an SEO solution plugged into your tools, prompt-driven.

Manus integrates Semrush and Ahrefs into its AI agent to automate technical SEO audits, competitive research and position tracking from a single prompt.

Manus, the generalist AI agent, now offers an SEO solution. The idea: to integrate its own SEO tools with the agent, then conduct technical audits, competitive research, position tracking, and backlink analysis from a single prompt, in plain language, with the agent handling the execution.

The connection is made through connectors to market platforms like Semrush, Ahrefs, Similarweb, DataForSEO, or Firecrawl, without code or API keys to manage; Manus automatically extracts positions, backlinks, traffic, and keyword data from them. Ready-to-use skills initiate the two main workflows, site audit and competitive analysis, and users can save their preferences, audit templates, report formats, or alert thresholds as reusable skills. The Browser Operator explores pages and SERPs in the background, while results are rendered in spreadsheets, slides, or dashboards. Position tracking can be scheduled daily or weekly, with a summary pushed to Slack or via email.

As an example, Manus describes a technical audit on a site with high organic traffic, where it identifies thousands of slow pages, a very low mobile performance score, and thousands of pages missing from the sitemap, all presented as a list of fixes prioritized by impact, based on live crawl data. The company frames the approach within an era where AI search has become dominant, with classic SEO, according to them, retaining its role alongside AI discoverability.
