Here’s the part of SEO nobody likes to admit: writing the post isn’t the hard part anymore. Knowing what to write, so someone actually finds it, is. Then getting other sites to link to it. Then knowing whether any of it worked.
So we turned CoAuthor into an SEO tool. It tells you exactly what to write to rank on Google, writes it for you in your voice, makes it worth linking to, and checks every month how it’s doing.
Know exactly what to write to rank on Google
Give CoAuthor your site, and in about 10 minutes you get your SEO content plan: the searches your customers actually type into Google, which ones your site can win, and the post or page to write for each, best first. It reads your site, finds the competitors you’re up against, and checks who ranks on page one for every search.
When we ran it on clickminded.com, it found 136 ideas: 109 posts to write and 27 pages we already have that just need work. Here’s our actual plan:
It doesn’t just hand you a list of keywords. It tells you which searches your site can win, based on who ranks there today:
- Chances for your site. Every idea is an Easy win (smaller sites rank for it today), Worth a try (a mix), or a Long shot (big sites own it). The same search can be an easy win for one site and a long shot for another.
- Buyers first, when you sell something. It picks a strategy for your business. If you sell a product, it starts with people who are comparing options or ready to buy, because those are closest to a sale.
- It knows the pages you already have. Some of the best moves aren’t new posts at all, so it tells you which existing page to improve and what to change.
- Start here. The top of the plan is your best next move. Do one, then come back for the next.
When you’re ready, click Write this on any idea. Your research is already done, and CoAuthor starts your post with its target search, format and angle set.
Your first SEO content plan is free, and it’s ready in about 10 minutes.
Write posts built to rank on Google
You’ve probably written a great post that nobody ever found. It wasn’t a bad post. It just wasn’t written around anything people actually search for.
That’s the part CoAuthor now handles for you. Every post you write in CoAuthor targets a real search, one your customers actually type into Google. Before it writes a word, it studies the pages ranking on page one, finds what they all cover and what they all miss, and builds your post to cover both.
- It covers everything the top results cover, then adds what they miss.
- It still sounds like you. Your angle, your voice, no keyword stuffing, and it won’t read like everything else on page one.
- It builds your internal links, linking each post to the right pages on your site and telling you which existing posts should link back to it.
Publish posts other sites want to link to
Links are still one of the hardest parts of SEO to fake. People link to things that are genuinely useful, and a wall of text rarely is.
So now your posts can include interactives: calculators, simulators and explainers your readers actually play with, each with its own illustration. Here’s one CoAuthor built. Switch the view and see which pages actually bring in visitors:
That’s the kind of page people bookmark, share in Slack, and link to from their own posts.
- CoAuthor builds them for you, from the idea to the finished interactive. No code, no plugins, no developer.
- Each one is illustrated in your style. It gets its own picture in your brand colors, with live numbers, toggles and motion on top.
- Only where they help. It adds one only when it explains an idea better than an image, so most posts get none and the ones that do earn it.
- They go wherever your post goes, including WordPress and share links.
See how your posts are doing on Google, every month
Most SEO content is publish and pray. You hit publish, hope it ranks, and move on to the next post.
Not anymore. Once a month, CoAuthor checks where each of your published posts shows up on Google, and your plan gets a Your results tab:
- What moved, what dropped, and what’s on page one
- Your next move, the one thing most worth fixing right now
- A short monthly report in your inbox, so you don’t even have to log in
Here’s a real one from our first check on clickminded.com. Google was showing a different page of ours for one of our new posts’ searches. CoAuthor caught it and told us exactly what to do: add a link from that page to the new post. That’s the kind of fix that’s easy to miss and easy to make.
And this is just the start. Next, CoAuthor will go further: improving the posts that slip and finding new opportunities for you as they show up. Less publish and pray, more of an SEO content manager that’s always making your site better.
