Content creation is hard, marketers know. It takes a lot of energy to write a complete piece, even without having to go back in to revise and optimize for search engines. Luckily, the Semrush SEO Writing Assistant tool can do that for you! It analyzes and optimizes your new and older content in real-time for maximum search engine impact, allowing you to make edits and create unique, high-quality content with ease. The tool provides recommendations as you write, helping to ensure your content is search-engine optimized, as well as readable, consistent, and original. Worried your piece is too long or complex? The tool can highlight and remove difficult-to-read sentences, ensure the title complies with Google’s guidelines, and measure your word count based on competitor articles. Concerned with how your voice comes across? The SEO Writing Assistant is built upon an advanced machine-learning framework that lets you choose a specific tone, as well as ensuring that your entire piece is consistent from start to finish. Pick whichever feature is comfortable for you! Best of all, the tool is available not only on the Semrush platform but also as an add-on for both Google Docs and WordPress, giving you the choice to write on the go, on whichever platform you prefer. It doesn't get easier than that. Try it out.
