Enhanced Seasonality Detection

Our new seasonality analysis algorithm uses adaptive, statistically robust techniques to identify seasonal trends more reliably than ever.

Why it matters

  • Spot seasonal trends earlier
  • Get more precise boundaries for multiple peak seasons
  • Increased precision for SEO forecasts

Improved Localized Keywords Detection & Handling

We’ve enhanced our detection of highly localized keywords to ensure more precise forecasts and reports. For keywords like ‘restaurants near me,’ search results vary significantly based on the user’s location, and tracking rankings from a single location cannot provide a representative sample for accurate reporting.

While our platform shows nationwide search volumes for country-level SEO campaigns, your website’s ranking performance for these keywords only reflects searches from the country’s largest city, not the entire search volume.

To address this, we exclude these keywords from Opportunity Score calculations and adjust their search volumes in our forecasts. For optimal Visibility Score accuracy, we recommend either removing these keywords or tracking them separately.

Proactive AI Overview Detection

We now flag Google’s AI Overview feature in SERPs in regions where it hasn’t launched yet, giving you early insights into which keywords might trigger AIO in the future.

Content Writer Updates

Smart Citations

Content Writer now automatically adds and formats references within the article—from academic papers, industry reports, and reputable sources—when it detects statistics, trends, or other specific data. 
Try it: Check out the new ‘References’ section at the end of your articles.

Updated Internal Links

We improved how Content Writer handles internal linking so every requested link is included. If some links don’t fit naturally into the content, they’ll automatically show up at the end of the article. This makes sure no important reference is missed.

Auto-Labelling for Article Keywords

Keywords within the topics that power Content Writer articles are now automatically labeled in addition to being assigned to a folder making performance tracking across groups easier and clarifying why a keyword entered your rank tracker — very useful within teams.

Better Custom Guidelines Support

Your custom article prompts—whether for specific articles or campaign-wide—now receive the highest priority during the article generation process.

New Filter Updates in the Rank Tracker:

New Filter—Desired Landing Page: Create keyword groups based on the page you want ranking. Avoid cannibalization or organize your content strategies based on these new filters.

Exclude Filter Option. Exclude specific criteria in Rank Tracker for more refined data analysis.

Coming Soon in Content Writer
