🛠️ 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:

bash

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:

bash

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:

bash

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:

bash

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:

bash

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:

bash

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:

bash

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.

bash

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: json

   {
     "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."
   }
