SituationalAPI6/10 overall

Paid links. We earn a commission if you buy through links on this page. It never changes our ranking — see how we rank.

Pricing

We do not reprint prices. They change too often for that to be honest, and a number on our page with no date is worse than sending you to the source.

What it is

On-page SEO optimisation: analyses what ranks for a term and scores your draft against it, with a content editor and audits of existing pages.

Who it is for

Content teams optimising against search intent who want a measurable target.

Where it is strongest

Auditing existing pages. Finding which published articles are close to ranking and what they are missing is the highest-return work in content SEO.

Where it falls short

Writing to a content score produces content that resembles everything already ranking. The score is a proxy, not a goal, and people forget that. And it is expensive for occasional use.

Our verdict

Recommended for the audit side. Use the score as a checklist rather than a target, or you will publish the average of page one.

Editorial assessment. We earn a commission on some links; it does not change the ranking.
