Best Content Checker Websites
As your Washington DC SEO expert, specializing in health care SEO, we have recommended that our clients add quality content to their websites to improve their Google rankings. In fact, we have assisted some of our clients with both reworking existing blogs and creating new articles to improve where their business shows up on a Google search.
While there are certain tricks to the trade when adding content to a website that will help customers find your business, those tricks can not provide quality, informative, and original articles that have high value to your customers. After all, your website is the face of your company, and poor quality content will reflect poorly on your business’ image.
That’s why we would like to recommend some of our favorite quality content checker websites. While we have not used all of these on the list, we have scoured reviews and will provide you the positive and negative feedback that users have shared.
1. Grammarly
Our favorite “grammar” service is Grammarly. We almost hate to label it merely as a “grammar website” because it does so much more.
Grammarly assists users with comma placement, subject/verb agreement, and other nitpicky errors that your high school English teacher loved to point out with a bright red pen. But Grammarly also assists users in word choice, fixing repetitive words and phrasing, and alerting the writer when they use passive voice.
Grammarly has improved even more in recent months. The website gives users suggestions on how to fix awkwardly-phrased sentences. Although there are some gimmicky aspects to the site, such as giving the writer a “score” based on correctness, clarity, engagement, and delivery, we recommend it as our top pick of content quality checker websites.
2. Readability
Unless you are writing for the New Yorker, your readers want and expect short sentences and paragraphs. They want to be able to scan your article for information. If you tend to be long-winded or have a difficult time dumbing down your technical content, you might want to check out Readability.
3. Copyscape
If you are hiring freelancers to add copy to your website, it is highly recommended that you run their articles through Copyscape. Copyscape is the industry standard for finding plagiarized content. It allows you to look at the most similar piece side by side with your writer’s work to see whether the duplicate phrasing was accidental or intentional.
4. Content Analysis by SEO Review Tools
When you open up Content Analysis, it looks like a word processing program. After you complete the article, you will see friendly reminders at the bottom that give recommendations on how to make your text more SEO friendly. For example, your Content Analysis may recommend that you add a meta description, an image using the keywords as the image name, or H1s or H2s.
5. Hemingway
Hemingway is a grammar/readability application, but we don’t like it nearly as much as Grammarly. Its interface is much more attractive than some of its competitors, but it seems to dumb down even the most straightforward content. We aren’t sure why, but the application also points out each adverb that you use in a piece.
6. Fact Checking
As far as we know, there aren’t any applications that will fact check your content. Regardless, we decided to add it to our list because we think that it is crucial. The Karens of the world love to find errors, and when they see them, they like to shout them from the rooftops. Ensure your business is spreading the best and most reliable information by fact-checking all the information that your website provides.
7. Content SEO Checker
Content SEO Checker is similar to Content Analysis. While reviewers tend to prefer Content Analysis by SEO Review Tools, they are quick to point out that this application tells how relevant your content is to your target keywords. This is important because Google seems to penalize websites that try to trick the readers by using keywords that have nothing to do with the article.
8. Check My Links
Check My Links is an extension that does just what it says it does. It makes sure that the internal and external links in your content are working correctly. Readers become frustrated if they need more information only to find that the links in the article don’t work. Frustrated readers are unhappy readers.
