The central part of the screen is divided into two blocks. On the left, you will find a workspace where you can write or insert text. This editing box supports different text formatting and other text related options. On the right – Article structure and recommendations.

Let’s take a closer look.

At the top of the screen, there is a toolbar with various text formatting functions, which include:

• Bold, italic, underlined, and strikethrough text.
• Create bulleted and numbered lists.

2. Editor working field

The main editor field is located below the toolbar. There you can enter the text of your article and format it as needed. A block for pasting selected headlines copied in the step with competitors is displayed here to help you get started.

You can format links on the text tab of the editor workspace:

3. Structure of the article – working with keywords and recommendations

You will see keyword hints in the green tab to the right of the text after writing an article.

It displays an analysis of the key features of the text.

Clicking on a keyword will highlight its corresponding occurrences in the text.

Words – number of words in the text

Headings – number of h1-h6 headings in the editor
Occurrences – number of occurrences of keywords and word forms in the text

Recommended range – minimum and maximum for words, headings, and occurrences based on data of selected competitors:

The columns Keyword and Number of keys show data on keywords from the green excel table and the number of occurrences that are missing or overspam on occurrences.

You can also see overspam indicators with an exclamation mark in the form of triangles.

If the number of keywords exceeds the recommendations by 20% – there will be a triangle of orange color.
If the number of keywords exceeds the recommendations by 50% or more – the icon with an exclamation mark will be red.

Keyword highlighting can be turned on and off with a slider.

Orange highlighting indicates the absence of keywords, green – their presence in the text.

If you click on a key, the occurrences will be highlighted in the text.

If you write an article inside the content optimizer task, the Content score will be recalculated, which allows you to see how close you are to your competitors’ scores. And if this score is high, it means that the probability that your article will enter the TOP is growing.

Content Score is an indicator for evaluating the quality of a document’s text optimization.

Under it – the average and maximum achieved value of this indicator among your selected competitors from the top.

You can also add images and links to the article field, in addition to the text itself.
