Setting Up Keywords

Proper keyword setup is the foundation of effective SEO. The analyzer lets you target both primary and secondary keywords:

Focus Keyword

This is your primary target term - the main phrase you want your content to rank for in search engines.

• Enter a single word or phrase that best represents your content
• Choose something with good search volume but reasonable competition
• This keyword will be checked for presence in your title, meta description, and URL

Secondary Keywords

These are related terms that help provide context and improve rankings for related searches.

• Enter multiple keywords separated by commas
• Include synonyms, variations, and related terms
• These help with overall keyword density without overusing your focus keyword

Optimizing Metadata

Metadata helps search engines understand your content and influences click-through rates from search results:

Creating Content

The rich text editor allows you to create well-structured, SEO-friendly content:

Using the Editor

The editor supports various formatting options to help structure your content effectively:

• Text Formatting: Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough
• Heading Structure: H1 for main title, H2 for sections, H3 for subsections
• Lists: Numbered and bulleted lists for organizing information
• Media: Insert images, tables, and other elements
• Links: Add hyperlinks to reference other content

Content Structure Best Practices

• Use a single H1 heading for your main title (including your focus keyword)
• Break content into logical sections with H2 headings
• Further subdivide with H3 headings when needed
• Use short paragraphs (3-4 sentences maximum)
• Include your focus keyword in the first paragraph
• Aim for at least 300 words total (800+ for comprehensive topics)

SEO Checks Explained

The analyzer evaluates your content against seven key SEO factors:

1. Focus Keyword in Title

Checks if your primary keyword appears in your SEO title. Search engines give extra weight to terms in titles.

2. Focus Keyword in Meta Description

Verifies your primary keyword is in your meta description. This helps with relevance and gets bolded in search results when it matches search queries.

3. Focus Keyword in URL

Confirms your URL contains your primary keyword, which helps with relevance and can improve click-through rates.

4. Keyword Density

Analyzes if you're using keywords at an appropriate frequency (approximately 8 keywords per 1000 words):

• Too high: May be seen as keyword stuffing
• Too low: Missing optimization opportunities
• Just right: Natural inclusion of keywords

5. Content Length

Evaluates if your content has sufficient depth:

• Less than 300 words: Generally too thin
• 300-799 words: Acceptable but limited
• 800+ words: Good for comprehensive coverage

6. Heading Structure

Checks for proper use of heading tags:

• At least one H1 tag for the main title
• At least two H2 tags for main sections
• At least three H3 tags for subsections (for longer content)

7. Content Tone Detection

Identifies the tone of your content, which helps ensure it matches your intended audience and purpose.

Understanding Your Score

Your SEO score is calculated as a percentage based on how many of the seven checks are passed. Each check contributes equally to the total score.

Score Ranges

• 90-100%: Excellent - Content is well-optimized for search engines
• 70-89%: Good - Content has solid optimization but room for improvement
• 50-69%: Fair - Content needs several improvements
• Below 50%: Poor - Content requires significant optimization

The score is displayed as both a percentage and a visual progress bar at the top of the left column.

Content Tone Detection

The analyzer can detect up to ten different content tones to help you ensure your writing style matches your goals:

Available Tones

• Informative: Educational, fact-based content that explains concepts
• Persuasive: Content designed to convince readers or drive action
• Conversational: Casual, friendly tone that speaks directly to readers
• Formal: Professional, academic tone with precise language
• Inspirational/Motivational: Uplifting content that encourages readers
• Satirical/Humorous: Content using wit, irony, or comedy
• Analytical: Detailed examination of data or concepts
• Storytelling/Narrative: Content that uses narrative techniques
• Critical: Content that evaluates or critiques a subject
• Urgent/Clickbait: Content that creates a sense of urgency or importance

The analyzer will show up to three dominant tones in your content. This feature requires at least 50 words of content to function.

Meta Description Generator

The tool includes an automatic meta description generator that extracts relevant content from your text:

How It Works

• Becomes active when your content exceeds 300 words
• Extracts the first ~150 characters of your content
• Ensures your focus keyword is included
• Formats the text to fit within the 160-character limit

Using the Generator

1. Create content with at least 300 words
2. Enter your focus keyword
3. Click the "Generate" button next to the meta description field
4. Review and edit the generated description as needed

Tips for a High Score

Follow these best practices to achieve a high SEO score and optimize your content effectively:

Keyword Strategy

• Include your focus keyword in these key locations:
  • SEO title (preferably near the beginning)
  • Meta description
  • URL/slug
  • First paragraph of content
  • At least one heading (H1, H2, or H3)
• Use secondary keywords and synonyms throughout the content
• Maintain natural language flow - don't force keywords where they don't fit

Content Structure

• Start with a clear introduction that uses your focus keyword
• Use proper heading hierarchy (H1 → H2 → H3)
• Break content into logical sections with descriptive headings
• Use short paragraphs and sentences for better readability
• Include lists where appropriate to organize information
• End with a conclusion that summarizes key points

Content Length

• Aim for at least 800 words for comprehensive topics
• Cover the topic thoroughly from multiple angles
• Answer common questions related to your topic
• Include relevant examples or case studies

Troubleshooting

If your SEO score is lower than expected, check these common issues:

Red Indicators (Critical Issues)

• Missing Focus Keyword in Title/Meta/URL: Make sure your primary keyword appears in all three locations.
• No Content: The analyzer needs content to evaluate. Start writing!
• Keyword Stuffing: Too many keyword occurrences can look spammy. Use keywords naturally.

Orange Indicators (Warnings)

• Content Length: If marked as "less than 300 words" or "less than 800 words," consider adding more comprehensive content.
• Low Keyword Density: You may not be using your keywords enough. Try to incorporate them more naturally.
• Incomplete Heading Structure: Add proper H1, H2, and H3 headings to structure your content.

Tool Not Working?

• Editor Not Loading: Make sure you have a stable internet connection as the editor requires resources from CDNs.
