Semrush Pro connects SEO Writing Assistant with WordPress, letting writers and editors assess a page or post as they draft or revise it. Recommendations appear in real time and draw on readability and SEO guidance based on high-performing content in Google search results. Use the checks on your own copy or another writer’s work before publication.

Checks and editing tools

• Readability: Review the Flesch-Kincaid score to gauge how easy the text is to read and find opportunities to improve it.
• Recommended keywords: See semantically related keyword suggestions that may help strengthen search visibility.
• Tone of voice: Check whether the writing stays smooth and consistent in tone.
• Plagiarism check: Review submitted writing for originality and help avoid potential penalties.
• Rephraser: Rework selected passages to improve quality, adapt copy for different channels, or get past writer’s block.
• Overall score: Assess the text’s SEO potential using key on-page factors.

Connect and review a document

Download the plugin ZIP file, sign in to the WordPress administration area, and open Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin. Select the ZIP file and install it. If it does not activate automatically, activate it from the installed plugins list.

Open the page or post you want to review and select Connect SEO Content Template. You must be logged in to your Semrush account. Specify your target keywords, then use the recommendations to review the text before finalizing it.
