Live SEO Score

SEO Suggestions

Casper provides suggestions for improving your SEO score, such as:

• Adding more headings for better structure
• Including the target keyword in headings
• Adding internal links to related articles
• Optimizing meta descriptions

Meta Information

Edit the article's title, slug, and meta description directly in the editor. These fields are optimized for SEO and can be customized for each publishing platform.

Auto-Save

Your changes are automatically saved as you edit. You'll see a "Saved" indicator when changes have been saved successfully.

Unsaved Changes

If you have unsaved changes, you'll see a warning before navigating away or publishing. Make sure to save your work before publishing.

Editing Published Articles

You can edit articles even after they've been published. Changes made in Casper won't automatically update published articles—you'll need to republish if you want to update the published version.

Review Before Publishing

Always review AI-generated content before publishing. While Casper creates high-quality content, adding your unique perspective and voice makes it even better.

Maintain Consistent Formatting

Use consistent heading styles, list formatting, and spacing throughout your article. This improves readability and user experience.

Optimize Images

Always add descriptive alt text to images. This improves accessibility and helps with SEO. Use relevant, high-quality images that enhance your content.

Check SEO Score

Before publishing, review your SEO score and address any suggestions. A higher SEO score typically means better search engine visibility.
