Outlines
A. Introduction of Page Type
We introduced Page Type to better guide the outline and first draft generation. Now, Outranking can automatically identify the type of page you are trying to create and give you a more personalized output. That goes whether it’s a landing page, list-type blog, informative page, recipe post, and more. — the possibilities are endless!
B. Method of Outline Generation
Outline building with semantic terms, keywords, and SERP data is a complicated task. With advancements in AI, we can process more data and give you the cohesive outline you deserve to guide the AI and YOU in creating people-first content.
First Drafts Generation
A. Method of First Draft Generation
Previously, Outranking wrote one content section at a time. While this was a fine way to write comprehensive content, it isn’t the most efficient. To tackle this and still keep the extreme amount of background information, we built a chatbot that can now write 10X better, cohesive, and more personalized first drafts! Open challenge — try it, compare it to others, and thank us. 😏
B. Hyper-Personalization
Because of the way we now write the first draft, personalization using style guides is even easier! We provide all the editable parameters in the default style guide. For most use cases, tone and voice should do, but you can craft your own guides to tailor first drafts to use your own unique writing method.
C. Less AI Credit Consumption
With this new way of writing, we also process a lot more background data and generate less output. So many of you will see a 10-25% reduction in the net consumption of AI characters, leaving you with plenty more to go around!
On-Page Content Optimization
A. Redesign of Optimization
With Google trying to tackle AI content misuse and going bonkers on its new releases, it’s important to focus on creating “people first” content. We reworked our optimization to score even more on Originality (previously known as Uniqueness).
We also made the UI simpler and easier to use with visual aid. 🎉
B. Automatic Optimization
The most exciting of all, we introduce Automatic Optimization in this release! With Automatic Optimization, you can run a chatbot wizard to assist in optimizing existing or new web pages. You can choose from two options: update all content with a few clicks, or manually guide the process.
The wizard can optimize:
Title
Description
Number of headings
Keywords in headings
Common terms in content
Auto-add Internal links
Generate Original improvement suggestions
We couldn’t help ourselves — we’ve also provided the same utility on SEO elements so you can improve your score and optimize each section. Simply click on the magic pencil icon to generate some suggestions.
Use it after you’ve finished the first draft for new content or if you’re restructuring existing content. While rewriting, it’ll keep your content structure and image placements intact.
This wizard works just like a real one 🪄 But, like all AI systems, it has some limitations:
Sometimes over optimizes things
Occasionally does not meet the full score
Still needs human oversight
Use it wisely, and you can cut your time down from 2 hours to 15 minutes.
C. Introduction of Readability as a Scoring Parameter
We noticed a high correlation between ranking pages and the readability score. So we’ve incorporated readability into our scoring criteria. Now, you should ideally aim for a comfy 70% or more.
Strategist: Automatic Internal Linking
Now you can connect your domain using the Outranking plugin to improve internal linking on your WordPress website. 🔗 One click is all it takes to apply internal links and see quick improvements in your rankings.
We plan on connecting: Hubspot, Shopify, Wix, and Zapier are up next!
While Silo is a great concept and keeps you focused when creating and linking content, it’s not guaranteed to result in improved clicks (even if you do it right). So trying to improve the PageRank of a page with pure silo connections is useless. You need more powerful pages giving links to less powerful pages to faster rank improvements.
Don’t worry! We automated this process using the madness of AI.
UI Improvements
We’ve made a bunch of big and small changes to reduce complexity and give you the tools to make Outranking work with any kind of complex internal process. 💯
Deprecated Features
In this release, we deprecated a few legacy features alongside some newer features that didn’t align with Outranking’s new direction.
We deprecated: Methods, Dashboard, Site audit (Strategist), and Ranking keywords(Strategist)
Keep an eye out: We plan on bringing a better dashboard and more languages later in the year.
