Using the Focus Keyphrase to Analyze Your Content
Where to Use the Focus Keyphrase Feature
This feature is especially helpful when writing blog Posts where you may write about a primary subject (Focus Keyphrase) as well as secondary terms (Additional Keyphrases).
It’s not as useful for Pages of your site which may have multiple focuses for this content, or where the content is generic such as a Contact Us page.
Using the Focus Keyphrase feature
To get a TruSEO Score and Page Analysis results, start by entering the primary subject you’re writing about in the Focus Keyphrase field and click the Add Focus Keyphrase button.
Next, you can optionally add any secondary terms in the Additional Keyphrases field and click the Add Additional Keyphrases button.
You will see a TruSEO Score displayed next to each keyphrase and in the top right corner of the screen, as well as on the All Posts / All Pages screen.
You will also see our recommendations for improving your on-page SEO beneath each keyphrase and in the Page Analysis section.
NOTE:
These are recommendations only, they are based on our best practices. You do not have to follow them rigidly if it means it will affect the quality of your content.
Your content quality is the primary ranking factor with all search engines and you shouldn’t change your content if you feel that it won’t benefit your audience. You know your audience better than anyone else.
Remember, your goal is not to get a score of 100 on every post. Your goal is to write the best content you can for your specific audience.
