NeuronWriter Overview
1. First of all, create a project and choose the region and language of promotion.
2. Define the key query we want to optimize.
3. Next, the service determines the top competitors and shows the evaluation of content on the sites. At this stage, you can remove competitors from the analysis that are not needed (aggregator sites, for example).
4. Next, insert the text of the article to be optimized manually or import automatically via URL.
5. The service shows the current evaluation of article optimization and occurrences of necessary key queries.
6. Let's filter out only those that are not in the article.
7. Then here we add these queries to the article using neural network (not recommended, better manually).
8. Open the AI-writing tab.
9. Next, select the block where we want to insert keywords, e.g. Q&A block, FAQ.
10. After that, both the text score and the number of queries that are not in the text changed.
11. After that, you can either manually copy the generated text or export the optimized article in the desired format.
12. You can also manually copy the queries that are not included in the article and give them to a copywriter to complete the text.
13. It will be more convenient to add a copywriter to the project, and the copywriter can edit the text in the project itself, and immediately online see how the grade and the number of words used change.
14. You can also pull data from Google Search Console into NeuronWriter to add key queries from there.
Surfer SEO Review
1. Surfer SEO sections
2. Go to the Content Editor section
Here you can write an article immediately using neural network or analyze it by importing via URL.
3. Upload our article and see the optimization score.
This score depends on the level of content optimization:
- Number of keyword occurrences
- Number of occurrences of additional words
- Optimizing the H1 headline
- Optimizing the title tag
4. It also shows the keywords that should be in the article.
This shows the occurrences of keywords in the text:
- Green - sufficient number of occurrences
- Gray (yellow) - insufficient number of occurrences
- Red (pink) - excessive number of occurrences
Add or remove keywords from the text so they are in the green area.
5. Also see the guidelines for headings, subheadings and the FAQ block.
6. Audit section
Insert the url address and its main keyword query.
7. Audit result
8. SERP Analyzer section
Select the metrics (characters, exact keywords, word count, etc.) you want to see in the left pane. Surfer will show this on a line graph:
Conclusion
For the task of content optimization, NeuronWriter is more economical. Surfer SEO is more expensive, the additional features it has are redundant, as they are already present in other tools you use for SEO.
For this reason, we chose NeuronWriter.
We, at iConsult Agency, use NeuronWriter only to analyze and set TOR for copywriters. We do not use neural networks to generate content, as we only place high-quality content on our clients' websites.
