How to check how search is doing in 30 seconds

search-pulse a saved expert workflow your assistant follows, in Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor

The 30-second cross-channel verdict: organic clicks week-over-week, search market share vs the leader, AI citation rate, winning / holding / slipping, one card, one number each.

Say any of these

  • search pulse
  • how's search doing
  • quick check
  • just the headline
  • are we up or down this week
  • morning check-in
  • TLDR on search
  • how are we doing

You never name the skill or a tool, the assistant routes on what you asked. These are the phrasings it recognises for this one.

And when it stays out of the way

Not when you ask WHY something moved (that is anomaly-investigator), wants a full report or audit, or asks about one channel in depth.

Use it instead of weekly-search-report or aeo-audit when you want just the headline; use anomaly-investigator instead the moment they ask for causes.

What it refuses to do

  • Never expand the pulse into a breakdown, even when a tile looks alarming, offer the sibling skill instead.
  • A one-week move is usually noise: the verdict word describes the week; only significance-checked language may call a change real, and the pulse doesn't run significance, it offers anomaly-investigator.
  • Market share is named in qualified form on first use: CTR-modeled search market share of tracked demand, directional.

Verdict: holding. Nothing here warrants a cause hunt.

A simulated conversation on fictional data. Scope, freshness and the ⚠ Observational marker are attached by the same director that renders every demo here, not written by hand.
