The Review section automatically opens the Quality tab, showcasing common language and editorial issues like broken links, double words, hidden verbs, misused words, or instances of passive voice.<\/p>\n

Together, these optimization capabilities take content to the next level, increasing its appeal and readability and maximizing its alignment with the brand. They help writers do that final pass more quickly and with better results. Ultimately, that saves the managing editor time and delivers content that delights the customer and the audience.<\/p>\n
Let’s dive a bit deeper to look at what these features let creatives on the Contently platform do.<\/p>\n
1. Quality<\/h2>\n
The Contently Quality check scans your draft in search of common grammatical or editorial errors.<\/p>\n
Has that sneaky passive voice slipped into the prose (it always does)? Does the same word repeat twice in succession? Invert a noun and a verb? Misuse a word? Include a broken hot link? The quality checker can catch all those common mistakes and more.<\/p>\n
Even the most fastidious writers make these mistakes, and they are hard to see, especially when a person has been looking at the same screen for hours. The quality checker gives the whole content team an extra set of eyes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
2. Optimization<\/h2>\n
The second set of automation tools available on the Contently platform focus on optimizing the readability and authority of your content. The optimization scan provides information such as estimated reading time, title length, and whether the content fulfills the promise of the title as it relates to your chosen topic.<\/p>\n
The optimization tool also considers the SEO keyword for the asset. It scans your piece to see whether you have used your keyword as frequently and consistently as recommended by SEO best practices.<\/p>\n
Finally, the optimization tool checks the sites you’ve linked to in your piece to confirm their quality. If a site seems suspicious, Contently will flag it as low trust.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
3. Recommendations<\/h2>\n
The final optimization check that Contently automates for you relates to internal links you can include in your content. Remember, your content is part of an ongoing conversation with the customer. Internal links help readers (and algorithms!) see the connections between pieces of content across your website.<\/p>\n
If a new writer is working on your content, however, they may not think about all of the existing pieces they could link to. The recommendations button does it for them by flagging links to include.<\/p>\n
