title: "jev-seo: FOSS Zero-Cost SEO & GEO Search Radar" description: "Open-source, subscription-free alternative to Semrush and OpenSEO. Powered by TypeSafe AI Jev and local DuckDuckGo scraping."
Why jev-seo?
Semrush and Ahrefs cost upwards of $130 per month. OpenSEO still requires paid DataForSEO credit cards. Most SEO suites are bloated web dashboards filled with vanity charts.
- Zero subscriptions (₹0): Scrapes DuckDuckGo HTML and suggest endpoints directly. No credit cards, no paid API keys.
- TypeSafe Jev System One: Semantic intent classification, competitive gap detection, and AI visibility (GEO) scored deterministically without conversational LLM hallucinations.
- Agent native (MCP): Native stdio MCP server directly feeds keyword gaps and page audit scores into Claude Code, Gemini CLI, and Antigravity.
- Local & private: All rank tracking and audit histories persist in a single local SQLite database (
.jev-seo.db). - Low RAM footprint: Fast native Rust binary that runs in under 30MB RAM on resource-constrained machines.
Quickstart
# Install via Cargo (crates.io)
# Set your TypeSafe key for semantic oracle scoring
# Run a live SERP competitive radar check
# Audit a markdown blog post or local HTML file
# Track domain rankings over time (saved to local SQLite)
# Start the Agent MCP Server
Workflows
1. Keyword Research & Search Intent
Fetches autocomplete branches and uses Jev Choice to categorize intent into Informational, Commercial, Navigational, or Transactional.
2. Live SERP Radar & Content Gaps
Pulls top 10 live SERP results, analyzes winning patterns, and highlights structural content gaps.
3. Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)
Calculates citation probability for Perplexity, SearchGPT, and Gemini Overviews using Jev Score (1-10) and Noul.
4. Git Pre-Commit SEO Screener
|
Screens changed markdown and HTML files for missing meta tags, broken link references, and AI-slop vocabulary.

Non-Goals
- No bloated electron or cloud web dashboards.
- No paid third-party API dependencies (no forced DataForSEO subscriptions).
- No generative AI prose synthesis (Jev is used strictly as a deterministic evaluation oracle).
