Step 2: Optimization review
- In the same "Review" tab, under the "Optimization" section, Contently provides key insights into the content’s SEO performance.
- Reading Time: The system calculates the estimated reading time based on word count, helping you assess if the content is appropriately concise or detailed for your audience.
- Headline Character Count: Contently checks the length of your headline. For SEO purposes, it’s recommended to keep the headline under 57 characters to prevent truncation in search engines like Google.
- SEO Keywords: The tool evaluates whether your target SEO keyword is included in the headline and throughout the body text. Adjust the content to ensure optimal keyword placement for better search engine ranking.

- The filled-in blue circle represents your publication's target tone, while the blue-outlined circle indicates the current tone of the content.
- Assessing tone: Use the drop-down menu to view different tone attributes, such as openness, agreeableness, or emotionality. Adjust the content as needed to align the tone with your brand’s voice.
Step 4: Finalizing the review
- Once you’ve reviewed the content for quality, optimization, and tone, make any necessary changes in the text editor. Ensure that plagiarism is resolved, SEO requirements are met, and the tone aligns with your target audience.
- Submit the content for further review or approval, depending on your workflow process.
