1. Keyword research

Search engines are constantly changing, and user intent is complex. Using single keywords for research is not enough anymore. To solve this challenge, we have expanded our approach to better capture the complete picture.

Map relevant keywords for your business

We guide users in mapping keywords that resonate with their audience. This involves understanding the buyer's journey, creating personas, and aligning content with the customer lifecycle stages.

Prioritize and track topics instead of single keywords

Tracking topics instead of fixating on individual keywords helps your business adapt to shifting trends and ensures that your content remains relevant over time.

Quantify the value of topics for your business

We offer tools to quantify the value of your topics so you can prioritize your content strategy. This involves analyzing search volume, competition, and user engagement metrics.

2. Position tracking

When keeping track of keyword positions, it can be challenging to monitor individual keywords. This is especially true for a brand with multiple keywords spread across various content pages and funnel stages.

This is why we suggest tracking positions based on topics, which provides a more comprehensive understanding of SEO performance.

Track topics, not keywords

Businesses are encouraged to shift their focus from tracking individual keywords to monitoring topic performance. This approach provides a more accurate representation of the impact of their SEO efforts.

Prioritize and optimize pages based on topics

Rather than optimizing for specific keywords, identify and prioritize key topics that align with your business goals. This ensures that efforts are directed towards the most valuable and relevant content areas.

Measure success and make decisions accordingly

Businesses can make informed decisions by tracking topics and understanding their impact on overall SEO success. Entail AI's content strategy software provides the necessary metrics and insights to measure success and refine strategies.



3. Preventing cannibalization

Preventing content cannibalization is tricky when providing information on similar or related topics, as you risk duplicating ideas, diluting topical authority, and splitting traffic across too many pages targeting the same searches.

Identifying main content

We help businesses determine which content is most important for their topics so that their authoritative content ranks first in search results. Our strategies differentiate between primary and supporting content, optimizing for both broad queries and specific aspects of the topic.

Automating internal linking

Our solution simplifies keyword management for businesses with diverse offerings by grouping them based on user intent. Our tools help create relevant content that caters to a wider audience.

Keyword clustering

Our framework for grouping keywords is based on user intent, ensuring content appeals to diverse audiences. The platform also automates internal linking to strengthen SEO and improve user experience.

By proactively identifying overlaps and cannibalization risks among clusters, brands can optimize their content strategies and target the highest potential topics first.

4. Generating outlines

Outlines play an important role in maintaining a natural and logical flow. This keeps users engaged in your content and likely to return for more. Entail AI's outline generator balances structure and creativity, enabling content creators to produce compelling material.

How our outline generator works

Our outline tool assists in integrating relevant topics into content. This creates engaging articles optimized for SEO.

It's also important to provide unique perspectives in content, not just facts. A fresh viewpoint grabs the reader's interest. It also leads to more authentic content guaranteed to perform better than what AI can create.

Image optimization

6. Internal linking

Entail AI understands the significance of internal linking in enhancing SEO performance. Our tools facilitate the creation of a well-connected content ecosystem that benefits both users and search engines.

Connect main and supporting content pages

We help businesses plan their website content by identifying the main and supporting pages. We do this by creating strategic links within the website to ensure the most important content related to your brand is visible to search engines.

Leverage embedded AI tools

Our platform automates internal linking, saving time and ensuring consistency across large websites. This allows businesses to maintain a supportive internal linking structure without the need for manual intervention.

7. A/B testing

A major challenge in A/B testing is that SEO teams often lack the developer support required to make changes. Even tech companies with R&D teams rely on outside agencies for website development, limiting SEO teams' ability to quickly create necessary testing tools.

Making SEO changes can be tricky because any tweak can affect search rankings, especially when making user-facing updates that Google may see as cloaking.

Entail allows for efficient A/B testing of specific elements like widgets or CTAs without compromising the page's overall SEO integrity and reducing the need for page restructuring.

Get data-driven insights

From tweaking meta tags to refining content layouts, the insights gained through A/B testing refine the SEO strategy, ensuring every modification aligns with audience preferences and search engine algorithms.

Incorporate calls-to-actions based on funnel stages

We guide businesses in strategically placing calls to action in the form of custom widgets throughout their content, aligning them with the different stages of the buyer's journey. This ensures a smooth transition from awareness and queries to conversions.
