Content Optimizer
Recommend on-page changes against the SERP's winning patterns.
Inputs
Target keyword + your content (paste or fetch) + 2-6 competitors.
Start here · What does content optimization mean?
Content optimization means improving a page so it better satisfies the search intent without stuffing keywords or copying competitors.
This tool compares your pasted content or fetched URL against 2 to 6 competitor URLs. It reports word count, keyword presence, terms competitors use that you do not, your strongest terms, and common H2 heading patterns.
Use the output as an editorial checklist. Missing terms and headings are clues, not commands to paste random words into your draft.
When to use this tool
- Refreshing an underperforming page
Compare your page with current ranking competitors before deciding what sections to add or rewrite.
- Pre-publication review
Run a finished draft to catch missing concepts and weak keyword alignment before it goes live.
- Brief improvement
Use competitor heading patterns to improve an outline without copying the competitor structure.
- Content QA for writers
Turn vague feedback into specific notes about missing terms, word count gaps, and page focus.
Examples

How-to article refresh
Try this
Keyword: how to clean hiking boots. Paste your draft and add three ranking guide URLs.
What to look for
Look for missing terms such as materials, waterproofing, drying, and suede, then decide which ones genuinely help the reader.
SaaS feature page
Try this
Keyword: SAML SSO. Fetch your URL and add competitor feature pages.
What to look for
Check whether competitors consistently mention identity providers, SCIM, audit logs, roles, and setup steps.
Short tutorial
Follow in order the first time you use the tool; later you can skip to the step you need.
- Step 1 - Add the target keyword
Use the query the page is meant to satisfy, not a broad topic label.
- Step 2 - Add your content
Paste the draft or enter your URL. Pasted text is useful when the page is not live yet.
- Step 3 - Add 2-6 competitor URLs
Choose pages with the same search intent. Mixing guides, product pages, and forums can make the suggestions noisy.
- Step 4 - Review missing terms and headings
Group suggestions into must-add, maybe-add, and ignore. Add only what helps the page answer the query.
- Step 5 - Rewrite and rerun
After edits, run the page again to confirm the focus improved without turning the copy into keyword stuffing.

FAQ
- Should I add every missing term?
- No. Add terms only when they represent useful concepts, steps, examples, or definitions for the searcher.
- Why compare against competitors?
- Competitors show what the current search results cover. The goal is to understand expectations, then produce a better page in your own voice.
- Is a higher word count always better?
- No. Word count helps spot depth gaps, but a shorter page can win if it satisfies intent more clearly.
- Can I use this for ecommerce pages?
- Yes, but compare against similar ecommerce or category pages. Do not compare a product page against long blog guides unless the SERP mixes both intents.
