 > **This package is a one-shot scaffolder, not a runtime dependency.** Run `init` once to scaffold `.seoagent/` + the Claude Code skill in your repo. Nothing to keep in `package.json` afterwards. No `postinstall` script — installs are silent and play nicely with npm 11+.
 
-## Install
+## Install — pick one
+
+You can run SEOAgent two ways. Pick whichever fits how you work; both end up scaffolding the same `.seoagent/` workspace and installing the same Claude Code skill.
+
+### Option A — Global install (recommended for daily use)
+
+```bash
+npm install -g @seoagent-official/seoagent
+seoagent init
+```
+
+**Why this way:** `seoagent` is on your PATH so every command is `seoagent <cmd>` — short to type, instant to run (no npm fetch per call). Claude Code can also call `seoagent <cmd>` directly via its Bash tool, so the skill runs at full speed with no per-call latency.
+
+### Option B — One-shot via `npx` (no global install)
 
 ```bash
 npx -y @seoagent-official/seoagent init
 ```
 
-The scaffolder will:
+**Why this way:** nothing global on your machine, every invocation pulls the latest published version. Great for CI / one-off use / trying SEOAgent before committing. Trade-off: every command pays a ~2s npm fetch on cold cache, and Claude Code's Bash calls do the same.
+
+---
+
+Either way, `init` will:
+
 - Scan your repo for `package.json` `homepage` field + common `.env` files (`NEXT_PUBLIC_SITE_URL`, `SITE_URL`, etc.) to infer your domain
 - Create `.seoagent/` with `project.md`, `context.md`, and folders for audits, briefs, content
 - Install the skill at `.claude/skills/seoagent/SKILL.md` so Claude Code picks it up
 - Add a `PostToolUse` hook to `.claude/settings.json` so edits to `.seoagent/` auto-sync to the cloud (when you're logged in)
 
-The scaffolded sync hook uses `npx -y @seoagent-official/seoagent sync --silent` so the package is fetched on demand from then on — no `package.json` entry needed.
+The scaffolded sync hook uses `npx -y @seoagent-official/seoagent sync --silent` either way — it's infrastructure that survives your environment changing (so it works even if you later uninstall the global package).
 
 Then open Claude Code in this repo and say *"audit my site."* The skill takes it from there.

+**Open Knowledge Format bundle (AEO/GEO)** — Generate a Google [Open Knowledge Format](https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/knowledge-catalog/tree/main/okf) bundle for your site — a curated, agent-readable knowledge layer so ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google's AI understand and cite your business accurately. Claude maps your `.seoagent/` knowledge into OKF markdown; `seoagent okf scaffold` and `seoagent okf validate` handle the structure. Saved to `.seoagent/okf/`.
+
+**AI Citation Scorecard (the measurement half of AEO)** — Publishing an OKF bundle makes you *citable*; `seoagent citations` tells you whether it's *working*. It runs a set of buyer-intent questions through the Claude Agent SDK **with live web search** and reports which ones surface your business — a web-grounded proxy for how ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews answer. Saved to `.seoagent/citations/scorecard.md`. (Honest by design: it measures Claude + web search, not a per-engine guarantee — re-run over time to watch the trend.)
 
 **Compounding Roadmap** — Prioritized action plan that updates after every action. Saved to `.seoagent/roadmap.md`. Persistent changelog at `.seoagent/changelog.md`.
