Claude Fable 5 dropped this week. We connected it to Search Console, GA4, and Ahrefs on day one.
It doesn’t recommend SEO fixes. It ships them. Here’s what it does better — and the copy-paste prompts to run it on your site today.
What Fable 5 does better for SEO
Finds your GSC quick wins — position 5–15 queries with real impressions — page 2 → page 1
Maps keyword intent — hub-and-spoke clusters, commercial vs informational — 40 hrs → 4
Writes content from data — drafts from GSC gaps with entities, headings + internal links
Fixes tech debt — redirect chains, broken canonicals, slow CWV — ranked by traffic at risk
Builds internal links — PDP ↔ collection ↔ blog, orphan pages, link gaps
Cleans your backlinks — toxic links flagged, outreach ranked by DR × relevance
Writes Monday's rank report — positions, impressions, CTR moves + 3 priorities
Each workflow below has the copy-paste prompt and suggested cadence. Connect the Ryze MCP once to give Claude live access to Search Console and GA4 — then paste any prompt into a scheduled task and walk away.
- Stage 1: Find — quick wins and the intent map
- Stage 2: Ship — content from data, tech debt fixed
- Stage 3: Links — internal links and backlink cleanup
- Stage 4: Track — the Monday report that writes itself
New here? Pick your situation
You already rank for things
Start with #1 GSC Quick Wins. It pulls your best page-2 opportunities from Search Console in seconds — fastest path to page 1 this quarter.
You're not sure what to target
Start with #2 Keyword Intent Mapper. Paste 20–30 seed keywords; Claude maps them into a full hub-and-spoke topic plan ranked by revenue intent.
You just want to track what's happening
Start with #7 Weekly Rank Narrator. Set it once to run every Monday at 8am — you'll know what moved before anyone asks.
How to schedule these in Claude
The schedule layer in three steps. 1) Open Claude Cowork → Scheduled, click New task. 2) Paste one of the 7 prompts below, give it a name, pick a frequency (daily / weekly / specific time). 3) Save. The task fires on schedule and the result lands in your Claude conversation.
Claude Cowork → Scheduled. The pane lists tasks already running on cron; New task in the top right opens the create modal. Schedules fire while your computer is awake — Cowork ships a “Keep awake” toggle for laptops.
The Create scheduled task modal — this is what you fill in for each of the 7 prompts below. Name it descriptively, paste the prompt verbatim, pick the frequency, save.
The Ryze MCP is the other half: it gives Claude live access to Search Console, GA4, Shopify, and your ad accounts at the moment a scheduled task fires. Without it, Claude has nothing to read or act on. With it, every scheduled prompt queries fresh data. Ahrefs doesn’t need a connector — export the backlink CSV and drop it into the conversation.
Each card below has the prompt and a recommended cadence. Edit any prompt before saving — they’re plain text. For variants on each, see the public prompt library.
1 · Find — quick wins and the intent map
Two workflows that decide where the next month of SEO effort goes. One finds the rankings you can win this quarter; the other turns a pile of seed keywords into a topic map you’d normally bill 40 hours for.
01 · GSC Quick Wins Finder
Fable 5Page-2 keywords → page 1
Pulls every query sitting at position 5–15 with real impressions, sorted by position × volume. These are pages Google already half-trusts — the fastest rankings you’ll win this quarter.
02 · Keyword Intent Mapper
A 40-hour strategy in under 4
Clusters your seed keywords into hub-and-spoke topic maps, labels each commercial or informational, and maps every cluster to a URL — existing or flagged as a gap.
2 · Ship — content from data, tech debt fixed
Knowing what to target is half the job. These two workflows do the other half: the content calendar fills itself from GSC gaps, and the dev tickets for technical debt write themselves — ranked by the traffic actually at risk.
03 · Data-Driven Content Writer
Fable 5The content calendar fills itself
Drafts posts from GSC gaps, not guesses. Reads the queries you almost rank for, then writes the piece — entities, headings, and internal links included.
04 · Tech Debt Fixer
The dev tickets write themselves
Hunts redirect chains, broken canonicals, and slow Core Web Vitals pages — then ranks every issue by traffic at risk, so the fix list starts with what’s actually costing you.

3 · Links — internal links and backlink cleanup
Internal linking is the most ignored ranking lever on most sites; backlink profiles quietly rot without anyone watching. One workflow for each — both end in an action list, not a dashboard.
05 · Internal Link Builder
Fable 5The most ignored ranking lever
Maps PDP ↔ collection ↔ blog link flows, finds orphan pages with impressions, and surfaces link gaps to money pages — with the exact anchor text and source paragraph for each new link.
06 · Backlink Cleaner
Ahrefs data → action list
Reads your Ahrefs backlink export, flags toxic links worth disavowing, and ranks outreach targets by DR and topical relevance — one list to act on instead of a dashboard to stare at.
4 · Track — the Monday report that writes itself
Tracking isn’t a workflow you run — it’s the one that runs on its own. The seventh prompt is what makes the whole cadence stick, because Monday’s report is waiting before anyone asks for it.
07 · Weekly Rank Narrator
Know what moved before the client asks
Reads the week’s positions, impressions, and CTR moves across Search Console and GA4. Identifies the three changes that mattered and drafts the Monday report — a written narrative your team will actually read, not another dashboard.
08 · Competitor gap analysis
The 7 workflows above are inward-looking — your data, your rankings. This one turns your Ahrefs competitor export into a prioritised keyword gap list: clusters where your rivals rank in the top 10 and you have no page at all.
08 · Competitor Gap Finder
Keywords your competitors rank for — that you don’t
Upload your Ahrefs “Competing Domains” export alongside your Search Console data. Claude maps every keyword cluster where a competitor has a top-10 page and you don’t, groups by commercial vs informational intent, and flags the highest-volume gaps as priorities.
The connector that makes it all work
SEO Command Center MCP
The 7 prompts above all need the same thing — live access to Search Console, GA4, your store, and your sheets. The MCP is one URL you paste into Claude Desktop. After that, every scheduled prompt runs against fresh data. No CSV exports for the core loop, no per-tool authentication, no stale numbers.

Frequently asked questions
Where do I actually create the schedule?
In Claude Cowork → Scheduled. Click New task, fill name + paste prompt + pick frequency + pick a time, save. You can also type /schedule in any existing Claude conversation to convert it into a scheduled task. The screenshots above show the exact UI.
Do scheduled prompts run while my computer is asleep?
No — Cowork’s scheduled tasks fire while your computer is awake. There’s a Keep awake toggle in the scheduled-tasks pane that overrides aggressive lid-sleep on a laptop. For genuine 24/7 scheduling, run Cowork on a desktop or always-on machine.
What data does Claude need for these workflows?
Search Console and GA4, connected live via the Ryze MCP — that covers workflows 1–5 and 7. The Backlink Cleaner reads an Ahrefs export you drop into the conversation (any backlink tool's CSV works). Without data access, the prompts have nothing to read.
Does Claude actually ship fixes, or just recommend them?
Both, depending on access. With read-only connections it outputs ranked fix lists and ready-to-paste dev tickets. Connect a write-capable MCP (e.g., Shopify) and it can push meta titles, redirects, and internal links directly — keep the write step explicit in the prompt so you review before it lands.
What does the Ryze MCP actually do here?
Cowork handles the schedule and the Claude conversation. Ryze’s MCP is the connector that gives Claude live access to Search Console, GA4, Shopify, and your ad accounts at the moment a scheduled task fires. Without it, the prompts have nothing to read or write.
Can I edit the prompts or write my own?
Yes — every prompt is plain text. Edit any of the 7 above in the Cowork modal before saving, or fork variants from the public prompt library at get-ryze.ai/prompts. The 7 here are starting points the team uses internally; tune thresholds (impressions, positions, DR) to your site.
Can this replace my SEO agency?
For the execution layer — content briefs, quick-wins identification, weekly reporting — Claude running these workflows covers what most agencies handle month-to-month. For backlink outreach, it outputs the ranked target list and pitch angles but a human sends the emails. Most customers run it alongside a reduced agency retainer, not instead of one.
What if I don't have Ahrefs?
Workflows 1–5 and 7 run entirely on Search Console and GA4 data via the Ryze MCP — no Ahrefs needed. The Backlink Cleaner (#6) and Competitor Gap (#8) need a backlink export; any tool's CSV works: Semrush, Moz, and Majestic all export in compatible formats.
How do I know the workflows are actually working?
The Monday Rank Narrator (#7) is your built-in check — it reports what moved week-over-week and why. For a harder number, export GSC's page-2 filter monthly and count queries at position 5–15. That number should shrink as those queries move to page 1. Most sites see the first movers in 3–6 weeks.
What's the difference between a Claude workflow and a Claude Skill?
A workflow is a prompted Claude session you schedule: it reads data and outputs a report or action list. A Skill is a saved instruction set that changes Claude's default behavior for a whole category of task. These 7 are workflows. The companion Shopify post (linked at the bottom) covers Skills — they complement each other.
