This is what you’re “paying for.”

⭐ Target grade and word count:

Your content is graded from F (poor) to A++ (excellent. RankIQ suggests which grade you should get to be competitive.

RankIQ analyses the SERPS (search engine results pages) to determine how long your article should be.

Aim to reach both the word count and suggested grade to have the most competitive edge.

⭐ Time to rank estimate:

Average (180 days), fast (120 days), very fast (90 days), and ultra-fast (60 days or less).

⭐ Title optimization tool:

This section shows the most frequently used words in the current ranking titles.

You’ll want to create your title using as many of these words as you can naturally. In this podcast episode, Brandon gives away the formula you should use for your titles for extra help in creating a top-notch title.

Once you have your title, you can go to the built-in Title Grader. Input your title with at least four words from the list and aim for a character length of 47 to 53. The title grader will give you a grade that you can use to fine-tune your title.

⭐ Competition analysis:

The report serves up stats on your direct competition.

If you’re a beginner, you can start by reading through the posts (usually 8-10). You can also compare the titles and see if you can see any trends (are they list posts, how-tos, are there dates, etc.).

If you’re a more experienced blogger, you can snoop on your competition’s Domain Authority, Page Authority, and Referring Domains.

Finally, the report lists the top 3 articles that are the best current examples of content covering your topic. It tells you how long each article is and what grade it would get if run through the Content Optimizer.
