AI Content Score PRO

Get an AI-powered quality score and specific improvement recommendations for every post.

PRO Feature — AI Content Score is available in Prime SEO PRO. Upgrade to unlock AI-powered content analysis.

Overview

AI Content Score uses OpenAI's AI to analyze your post content and provide a quality score from 0–100, along with up to 3 actionable improvement recommendations. It's displayed directly in the SEO metabox when editing a post.

Unlike traditional SEO scores that only check keyword density and meta tag length, AI Content Score evaluates the actual quality and readability of your writing.

How Scoring Works

When you open a post in the editor, AI Content Score:

Sends your content for analysis Your post content is sent to OpenAI's API for comprehensive quality evaluation.
Receives a quality analysis The AI evaluates your content across multiple dimensions and returns a detailed assessment.
Displays a circular score (0–100) A visual score indicator appears in the SEO metabox, giving you an instant overview of content quality.
Shows specific recommendations Up to 3 actionable improvement suggestions are displayed below the score.

The analysis considers: readability, structure (headings, paragraphs), use of data and statistics, keyword relevance, content depth, and engagement quality.

Score Categories

Your content score falls into one of four categories:

Score Category What It Means
80–100 Excellent Content is well-optimized, engaging, and thorough
60–79 Good Solid content with minor improvements possible
40–59 Needs Work Content needs significant improvements
0–39 Poor Major rewrite recommended
Tip
Aim for a score of 70+ for most content. Scores above 80 indicate excellent SEO content.

Recommendations

The AI provides up to 3 specific, actionable recommendations tailored to your content. Examples include:

  • “Your sentences are too long. Simplify for better readability.”
  • “Add specific numbers or statistics to increase credibility.”
  • “Include more subheadings to break up long sections.”
  • “Add a focus keyword for better analysis.”
  • “Expand the conclusion — it's too brief.”

These are contextual to your content, not generic advice. Each recommendation is based on what the AI identified as the most impactful improvements for that specific post.

Re-analyzing Content

After making changes to your content, click the Re-analyze button to get an updated score. The new analysis replaces the old one, so you can track your improvement in real time.

Note
You can re-analyze as many times as needed. Each analysis uses one API call.

Caching & Updates

Scores are cached in post meta to avoid repeated API calls:

  • Score is stored after each analysis — saved directly in the post's metadata
  • Cached score displays instantly — when you open the post editor, the last score loads immediately
  • Cache invalidation on save — when you update post content and save, the cache is automatically invalidated
  • Fresh analysis on next load — after cache invalidation, a new analysis runs the next time you open the editor
Important
AI Content Score requires an OpenAI API key configured in Prime SEO → Settings. Without it, the score section won't appear in the metabox.
