Site Monetisation Audit
Scans a site’s published content for missing monetisation hooks — affiliate links, CTAs, email opt-ins, internal links to money pages.
Entry verified April 21, 2026
The short answer
Most affiliate and content sites leak money on pages nobody audited. This skill reads the site’s monetisation profile (affiliate partners, target CTAs, email hooks), then grep-scans every published post and reports which ones are missing the expected hooks — ranked by traffic if analytics data is available.
When to use it
After 30+ posts are live. Before running paid traffic (don’t pay for clicks on pages that don’t convert). Quarterly hygiene on evergreen content.
Setup
- 1
Site needs a .claude/monetisation-profile.md describing expected hooks (e.g. “every review links to Bookshop.org affiliate”).
- 2
Save as ~/.claude/commands/site-monetisation-audit.md. Skill reads the profile, then grep-scans content dirs for each hook.
- 3
Outputs a ranked list: page → missing hooks → priority (HIGH/MED/LOW by traffic).
Example
You: /site-monetisation-audit
Claude: Profile loaded: vendors.ie (affiliate + demo CTA)
Scanned 47 published pages.
HIGH: 3 pages in top-10 traffic with missing CTA — /accounting-software-ireland, /payroll-tools-ireland, /crm-ireland
MED: 8 pages missing affiliate tag on vendor link
LOW: 12 pages missing email opt-in (ok for category pages, gap for reviews)Source & attribution

Caveats
Reports what’s missing; does not auto-insert CTAs — conversion copy is a judgment call, not a find-replace.
