Finding

The skill description includes broad trigger phrases like 'traffic', 'clicks', 'rankings fell', and 'what happened to their SEO', which are common conversational terms and can cause the skill to activate in situations the user did not clearly intend. Because the skill is connected to external SEO data and can later stage tasks, accidental invocation could expose site-specific diagnostics or start a workflow the user did not mean to enter.
