If you’re a Rank Math user, then you must have come across the term Content AI. Or, if you’re new to this, then we’ll walk you through the Content AI by Rank Math. 

For starters, Content AI is a writing assistant tool that combines artificial intelligence and SEO to help you write content faster and better, within your WordPress editor. 

With this tool, you can generate amazing topic ideas and write engaging meta descriptions and introduction paragraphs following the latest SEO trends. Isn’t it exciting?

And the best part? You can start using it for free!  

But you might want to know how good this Content AI tool is. Don’t worry, we’re here to help you answer that question. 

In this article, we’ll show you what Content AI can do and how to make the most out of it for your SEO wins. 

Now, let’s get started!

A. What is Content AI by Rank Math?

Content AI is part of Rank Math’s powerful suite of AI-powered SEO tools. It integrates artificial intelligence into your SEO workflow. It’ll act as your personal assistant and help you through keyword research, title suggestions, and even content structure.

Moreover, you don’t need to switch between multiple tools. Content AI offers everything in one place, from analyzing the focus keyword to optimal word count recommendations. 

It doesn’t just stop here,

  • It’ll also help to generate image alt text.
  • Headline structure
  • Optimize meta descriptions
  • And even calculate a content score to see how well your content is tailored to your target audience and keywords.

Rank Math and Content AI Difference?

While both Rank Math and Content AI are essential tools to optimize your website, they do have separate purposes within the SEO ecosystem. 

So, here, let’s understand the relationship between Rank Math and Content AI!

AspectDetails
DependencyContent AI needs Rank Math installation to work, while Rank Math can perform solely.
Content AI in Rank Math PROUse Content AI with Rank Math PRO with an active Content AI subscription and credits available. Without credits, Content AI cannot be used.
IntegrationContent AI is integrated within Rank Math as a module. No additional plugins are required to use it.
How They Complement Each OtherContent AI boosts content creation with AI tools, while Rank Math optimizes your site’s technical and on-page SEO.

How You Can Do SEO Faster Using These Two Tools? 

Although they seem different, combining both allows you to optimize your site’s backend and individual content seamlessly. 

For example, instead of spending time writing meta titles & descriptions manually, Content AI can generate them with a single click. It’ll also find you the best keywords in your niche. Meanwhile, Rank Math will keep track of how well you’re using the keywords for better SEO. 

Moreover, the scoring system of Rank Math and Content AI works together.

Rank Math focuses on technical SEO scores like headings, meta tags, keyword usage, title readability, content readability, etc. While Content AI helps you spped up content creation with suggestions like word counts, link counts, heading counts, etc. 

It’s a perfect duo to simplify your SEO process while getting better results.    


Content AI vs Human

With the rise of AI tools, you may wonder how they compare to human expertise. We’ll break it down in the image below:

Content AI vs Human
Content AI vs Human
  • Content AI takes a minute to perform keyword research, while humans need 30-60 minutes for manual research. 
  • Content AI can generate ideas in less than a minute based on our keyword and niche, while humans require 1-2 hours to brainstorm unique and trending topics. 
  • Also, it only takes a minute to get a structured outline with Content AI, but a human will need 30-45 minutes to create a detailed outline. 
  • If you want to write content of 2000 words, Content AI will generate within 3-5 minutes. But with humans, it’ll take 4-6 hours, depending on the complexity and expertise of the content.
  • Content AI can auto-score content quality in real-time, while it can take humans 1-2 hours to manually review and edit for grammar, style, and SEO. 

Content AI is definitely a helpful tool, and it helps our SEO work faster. However, we cannot completely depend on AI tools. We, humans, should use our intelligence to verify facts generated by AI and then only finalize the content that will be best for our respective website audience. 


B. Understanding Content AI Credits

Okay, by now, we’ve understood Content AI. You must think it might be quite expensive as it can perform these amazing tasks. Well, the answer is no; you can get it for free. 

How?

Content AI has a credit system, which means if you’re a Rank Math free user, then you’ll get 750 credits for free per month.

Now that you know about the Write mode, let’s look closely at it. 

As you already know, you can feed instructions and let Content AI generate the perfect article for your readers. Let’s look at the options available in Content AI one-by-one.

  • Instructions: Summarize what you want Content AI to write for you. Make sure you write in no more than 600 characters.
