Is Silkra part of Searchmoat?

Silkra is a product of SearchMoat LLC, and I built it, but it runs on its own, with its own website, accounts, and terms at usesilkra.com. Searchmoat is my hands-on SEO, website, and AI search service.

Do I need Silkra to work with you?

No. Working with Searchmoat doesn't require a Silkra account, and using Silkra doesn't commit you to hiring me.

Is my data shared between them?

No. Silkra and Searchmoat are separate. Your Silkra account and data stay with Silkra, and Searchmoat client work doesn't use or access them. For questions about how Silkra handles data, see its privacy policy or contact Silkra support. Silkra privacy policy: https://www.usesilkra.com/privacy. Silkra support: https://www.usesilkra.com/support.

Where do I get help with Silkra?

Questions about the Silkra app or your Silkra account go to Silkra support. For help with your search visibility or website, book a call with Searchmoat. Silkra support: https://www.usesilkra.com/support.

Why I built it

It started as audit work.

Mike Davisfounder / searchmoat + silkra

Most of my client work starts with an audit, and lately the question behind it is the same: why does ChatGPT or Google's AI recommend a competitor and not us?

Answering that meant crawling the site, cutting pages into the passages AI tools actually read, and checking which ones come up for the questions customers ask. No tool laid that out end to end, so I kept writing scripts for it.

Silkra is those scripts turned into a proper app. I still use it in my own client work, and now anyone doing SEO can run the same checks themselves.

What Silkra does

A workspace for SEOs and agents.

Silkra crawls a site, keeps every page as it renders, and organizes the result into topic groups, issues, links, and changes, so you and your agents work from the same evidence.

01crawl
Crawl on your own machine
Scrape any site from your desktop and keep every page with you, so nothing leaves your machine until you sync it.
02map
See the site by meaning
Pages are grouped by what they cover, so overlaps and gaps show up without a spreadsheet.
03ask
Get answers you can check
Ask in plain language or filter the table, and every answer points back to the pages behind it.
04connect
Bring it into any AI tool
Connect Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client, and your agents start from the same crawl instead of a pasted export.

From audit to roadmap

Turn SEO data into clear fixes.

Silkra keeps the crawl, the issues, and your SEO data in one place, so an audit ends in a plan your team can follow, not a spreadsheet nobody opens.

01audit: Ask what needs attention across the whole crawl. 100+ checks sort every finding into technical health, content quality, and AI readiness, each with the exact URLs behind it.
02bring in your data: Search Console, Ahrefs, and Semrush data sits beside the pages it describes, so rankings and backlinks read in context instead of in another tab.
03plan: The agent outlines the pattern, sequences a roadmap, and hands back audits, sheets, and charts with the source pages attached to every row.
04hand off: Turn a finding into a Linear, Jira, monday.com, or Asana item with the evidence attached, or draft the edit in Webflow. Nothing is written until you approve it.

On paid plans, sync a crawl and connect it over MCP, so ChatGPT, Claude, and Cursor start from your site instead of a pasted export.

Who it's for

Made for people who do SEO work.

Silkra is built for anyone auditing sites, often many at once. If that isn't you, the last row is.

01freelancers & consultants: Run deeper audits across every client site without stitching together your own scripts and spreadsheets.
02agencies: Give the team one crawl to work from, and hand the same evidence to the AI tools everyone already uses.
03in-house seo teams: Keep your own site mapped by topic, and see what changed since the last crawl.
04business owners: If you'd rather not run a crawler at all, that's what Searchmoat is for. Book a call and I'll do the digging.

Two ways in

Run it yourself, or bring me in.

Start with Silkra if you want the tool. Book a call if you want the help. Either way, the work starts from a real crawl.
