See the terms and questions the top-ranking pages cover, score your post against them, and close the gaps — Surfer-style optimization inside WordPress.
Tools like Surfer and Clearscope charge $90-170/month to answer one question: what does my content need to cover to compete? The Content Optimizer answers it inside WordPress. Pick a post and its target keyword; it reads the ten pages currently ranking, extracts the terms, entities, and questions they collectively cover, and scores your post 0-100 against that standard — with a concrete list of what to add.
A 0-100 score with a full breakdown: term coverage, keyword placement, length, internal links, and meta.
The exact terms top-ranking pages cover that your post doesn't — your editing to-do list.
Five questions people ask about the keyword, ready to become an FAQ section with schema.
The current top 10 with titles and domains, so you know exactly who you're up against.
Your latest score shows in the post editor sidebar with a one-click re-score link.
Yoast checks your post against generic rules (keyword density, sentence length). The Content Optimizer checks it against the actual pages ranking for your keyword right now — a competitive standard, not a static checklist.
No. The top-10 analysis is cached for a week, and scoring runs locally in your WordPress install — edit and re-score as many times as you like.
Yes — the term extraction runs on your own OpenAI key (configured once in Settings), same as the other AI tools. If someone else already analyzed your keyword recently, you may get a cached analysis with no AI call at all.
Every plan includes every feature — this one and all the others. Take the full toolkit for a 14-day spin, no credit card required.
