• Focus keyword is unique.
• Focus keyword is used in the introduction.
• Content should be more than 200 words.
• Focus keyword is used 1-2% times of the doc content.

Detailed SEO Analysis

Next, you have the Detailed SEO Analysis. Once you have taken care of the requirements in the Basic SEO Analysis, move over to this section. The criteria that you need to fulfill to improve the doc’s SEO score in the Detailed SEO Analysis are:

• Focus keyword is used in image alt text.
• Focus keyword found in subheadings.
• Focus keyword found in meta description.
• Focus keyword used in the URL.
