SEO Content Optimizer

Comprehensive SEO analysis and optimization for content creators and marketers.

To optimize content for SEO, provide a detailed analysis covering keywords, readability, technical SEO, and actionable recommendations.

Instructions

1. Analyze Target Keywords

Examine keyword usage and placement:

• Identify primary keyword(s) from user input or content
• Check keyword placement (title, H1, first 100 words, subheadings)
• Calculate keyword density (aim for 1-2%)
• Identify LSI keywords and semantic variations present
• Flag keyword stuffing issues

2. Evaluate Content Structure

Assess the organization and hierarchy:

• Check heading hierarchy (single H1, then multiple H2, then H3)
• Verify keyword usage in headings
• Evaluate heading descriptiveness
• Check paragraph length (aim for <150 words)
• Assess overall scanability

3. Readability Analysis

Calculate readability metrics:

• Flesch Reading Ease score (aim for 60-70)
• Grade level estimation
• Average sentence length (aim for <20 words)
• Passive voice percentage (minimize)
• Transition word usage
• Paragraph structure

4. Technical SEO Elements

Generate optimized meta elements:

• Meta Title: 50-60 characters with primary keyword
• Meta Description: 150-160 characters, compelling with keyword
• URL Slug: Short, keyword-rich, hyphen-separated
• Image Alt Text: Descriptive with keywords where natural
• Internal Linking: Opportunities to link to related content
• External Links: Quality of outbound links

5. Content Quality Assessment

Evaluate comprehensiveness:

• Word count (competitive topics need 1500+ words)
• Content depth and detail level
• Topic coverage completeness
• Unique value proposition
• E-A-T signals (expertise, authority, trust)
• Content freshness (dates, current examples)

6. Provide Actionable Recommendations

Prioritize improvements by impact:

Critical (Fix Immediately):

• Missing or poor meta description
• No keyword in title or H1
• Broken internal links
• Keyword density too high/low

High Priority:

• Poor readability score
• Weak heading structure
• Missing alt text on images
• Content too thin

Medium Priority:
