March 27, 2018
SEO Writing Assistant – Your Indispensable Content Aid
Content marketers, content writers, content strategists… Sometimes there’s too much ‘content’ to deal with. Short texts or long articles, emails or blog posts – they may be needed at short notice, and you always have to be sure they meet various high quality requirements.

SEMrush is always there to ease your everyday routine: the content specialists now have a handy and reliable tool to check the quality of texts before publication. We’re proud to present our very own unique TEXTension – SEO Writing Assistant!

What is the SEO Writing Assistant?

What we’re offering is a smart extension for the Google Docs service, using recommendations straight from our SEO Content Template (SCT) to help you ensure your text is written in SEO-friendly style. Our recommendations and analysis are based on your Google top 10 rivals for a given keyword.

What does it give you?

Actually, a lot. SEO monitoring of texts is now a cakewalk! Take a look at the extension’s available metrics and functions:
  • Overall score - shows the general quality of an article. It’s calculated on the basis of such metrics as readability, target keywords, words
  • Readability - shows the recommended reading-ease score
  • Target keywords - shows recommendations regarding the given keywords, their volume and difficulty
  • Recommended keywords - shows semantically related keywords, which should also be added to your text
  • Download original SCT template - allows you to download an SCT template containing a list of articles analyzed by the tool, tips on a page title, meta description, and even recommended resources to get backlinks from
All of the above metrics are based on your best-performing rivals in Google’s top 10. More metrics and updates to come soon!
