Topics' SEO score

You can see your topic's overall metrics scores while you are in the content editor, through the tiny bullets above the editor on the left. Moreover, you can also check the SEO metrics in detail both in real-time (as you progress with your topic) or when you are finished.

Scan overall SEO score

You can get an overall idea about your SEO level by looking at the tiny bullets placed above the editor on the left. The bullet on the left is the SEO icon. SEO analyzer is not properly activated and is shown in black until you add your topic's focus keyphrase. It could then appear in red, yellow, or green which means your topic SEO is low, needs improvements, or is quite good, respectively.

You can also see your topic's SEO score by moving over the icon so that the score number appears.
