The Content Analyzer replaces the old content scoring screen. The old screen gave only a score. In the Content Analyzer, each check has a plain-language takeaway and concrete recommendations. You can change these recommendations into an action plan.
Why answer engines cite some pages and not others
Answer engines do not cite pages because the pages rank well. They cite pages that have these properties:- The page answers a question clearly.
- The page is easy to parse.
- The page comes from a domain that the model already trusts.
What you can analyze
You can run the analyzer on three types of input:- A URL: check a page that is already published. Genezio validates the URL first. Thus, you know immediately if Genezio cannot read the URL. You do not have to wait for the analysis.
- An uploaded file: analyze a document that you work on.
- Pasted draft text: paste a draft directly and check it before you publish it.
What the Content Analyzer report checks
Each check gives a plain-language takeaway. The takeaway tells you what the result means and what to do. You do not get a number that you must interpret.Brand Favorability
Brand Favorability shows the tone that answer engines take toward your brand in this content. A page can be technically correct and still frame your brand weakly.Question Coverage
Question Coverage shows which real user questions the content answers. It shows the difference between a page that is about a topic and a page that solves the question of the user.Citation Standing
Citation Standing compares the domain where you plan to publish with the domains that answer engines already cite in your space. The domain is optional. The check tells you if you publish in a location that models trust, or in a location that models never showed. If Genezio cannot reach the domain, the report says so clearly. The check does not fail silently.Brand Fit
Brand Fit gives a Strong, Good, or Weak verdict on how well the content fits your brand. The card shows the reasons. Thus, you can decide if you agree.Structure and technical checks
Each of these checks also gives a plain-language takeaway:- GEO structure: Is the organization of the content the one that answer engines prefer?
- Readability: Is the content sufficiently clear to quote?
- Findability: Can users and answer engines find the content?
- Schema and rendering: Can machines read the markup and the rendered output?
- Content-type fit: Is this the correct format for the intent (guide, comparison, FAQ, and others)?
The action plan
The action plan makes the report useful, not only informative. Each insight has concrete recommendations. For example:- “Add a comparison table”
- “Open with an answer-first definition”
- “Add source citations”
When content does not match a topic
If the content does not match a topic that you monitor, the report shows a “no match” state. This state is not a failure. It is a finding. Possibly the content is about a subject outside your monitored space. Or possibly you do not measure a topic that you must measure. See Topics.Export the report as a PDF
You can export the full report as a PDF. This is the easy way to give the findings to a writer, an agency, or a stakeholder who does not use Genezio.A typical Content Analyzer workflow
