Content Analysers

[Jeffery]

Anyone using content analyser software to increase their rankings??   I think I've tried nearly all of them over the last year or so and think I've finally found one that works .  It's easy to use (some are very convoluted) and pretty much improves my rankings to some extent just with on page modifications in about 80-90% of cases.  I'm pretty much spending all my time updating pages at the moment as it seems to work so well. 

The one I'm using is called SurferSEO, I'd be interested in hearing if anyone else is using anything similar.

Thanks Kurt, I do use Rankmath and agree it's a great tool for optimizing content and has loads of other functionality.  However I found that plugins like this and Yoast, SEOpressor etc - just seem to analyse on a set of default rules - e.g. so much text, headings, use of keyword etc.   They do help but mainly to spot basic on page mistakes.

The content analysers specify optimization for a specific keyword based on the websites that are actually ranking.  As long as you optimize against the right pages (which you can select or default to top 5) it seems to work really well.  Basically it analyses all the aspects of these pages and makes suggestion about content - length, structure, words to be used and NLP words etc.

Anyway working well for me and it seems a really powerful tool. I tried it about 18 months ago and it didn't work at all, however they've updated it a lot since them.   Just adding the NLP suggestions almost always seems to have some positive effect for me (although you could probably get those for free somewhere!).  There are some aspects which don't seem to have much effect though from my testing - e.g changing the word length and user sentiment have usually caused a negative effect  (but that might be just me!).

Might be worth a look for especially for anyone with a lot of older content  that they need to try and reinvigorate.  It's quite cost effective to me - I can pretty much get some rank increase on every page with out spending loads of money or effort on link building.

Neil, how do you know what the page rank is?
