FAQ

Squirrly’s built-in keyword research tool allows you to perform keyword research without leaving WordPress.

Furthermore, Squirrly also provides access to features like Briefcase, which means you can not only find keywords but also organize them into tighter groups for a better strategy. Plus, our keyword research data is fresh, since we don’t use cached databases. Our cache is about 48 hours, not a whole year or two years like you find in other tools.

As we use Google API and run them through our Proprietary TECH to define search volumes , Social Media for discussions, the data will be FRESH every time. This is why it is different from others – and also why the data we show is different from what you may find in other keyword research tools.

^^ we have our very own algorithms to offer the industry’s best data when it comes to Keyword Research. We’ve been building research algorithms since 2012.

With a Squirrly SPY report, you can easily find the keywords that competitors are using to rank in the top positions of Google.

Then you can start using the data from the report to build up a new project for any competitor on the Squirrly Cloud App.

• see their Audit Score, to find out how good they are at digital marketing

Some other ideas for using the Business Plan with Competitors are here.

In Squirrly, Advanced Analytics covers the following:

• Social Media Shares,
• Impressions,
• Clicks,
• Click-through rate,
• Ranking,
• Best Ranking,
• Daily Average Ranking for the last 30 Days.

However, Squirrly also shows you Traffic Data for every Page you add as a Focus Page (in the Traffic Health Section) – alongside bounce rate data and time-on-page data. All this data is retrieved from Google Analytics.

You also get Traffic insights inside the Squirrly Audit, and you are able to see the pages with the most visitors for the last week (from the list of pages you’ve added to the Audit).

You can search for “focus pages” on this page.

You will see there all that it offers. It is incredibly valuable for SEO and does everything required for SEO, unlike the pillar feature in RankMath. It offers more than even Moz or Ahrefs does in terms of analysis.

To learn even more about the difference between Squirrly SEO and RankMath, be sure to also check out this graphic.

In Squirrly SEO, Focus Pages are all about SEO strategy and making sure that the most important pages on your site, your money-makers, reach the TOP 10 of Google Search.

Focus Pages represent the most important pages on your site – a limited number of pages on your site that you would want visitors who’ve never visited your WordPress website to see.

You choose which pages you set as Focus Pages. And for every page you add as a Focus Page, Squirrly will show everything you need to do to rank that page. All you have to do is turn Red Elements Green and you will improve that page’s chances of ranking.

This comprehensive resource will help you better understand what Focus Pages are all about and how to use them.

You can add as many keywords as you want and the SEO Live Assistant allows you to place in keywords that you store in Briefcase.

The main keyword will be marked with a STAR symbol (you can always change your main keyword). The SEO Live Assistant will calculate and show Optimization scores for all keywords you’ve optimized your text for.

So, maybe you have 1 main keyword, 3 secondary keywords, and 5 other keywords which you want to place inside the blog post, to help Google understand what the content is about (eg. adding “magical wands” “Diagon Alley”, etc. to a post about “Hermione Granger”)

That would be a total of 9. You can manage that as you like and we don’t limit you.

Please try to use the Next SEO Goals from the Overview section inside WordPress.

Start completing your first 3 SEO Goals, and you will see that the next will start coming naturally.

We have many customers who have become really successful with it. By using the Next SEO Goals system, we’re sure you’ll be able to do it yourself.

Q: It would appear that I am deteriorating in the rankings due to a rouge SEO ‘expert’ I used 5 or so years ago. It would appear that he has used Black Hat techniques which have caused the decline in ranking of the last 5 years. If it’s not that something else is causing the rankings to decrease.

Will Squirrly help:

a) identify the problem and
b) suggest how to put it right?

A: Yes, using Squirrly can help you identify and fix current issues that are hurting your chances of ranking. For example:

– the NEXT SEO Goals section.

^^ Through the use of machine learning, the A.I. systems within Squirrly SEO sift through billions of pieces of information that made over 600,000 websites rank higher on Google.

Based on that information and your site’s data, Squirrly will:

• identify critical issues and errors impacting your site’s SEO Performance;
  
• generate high-priority, actionable GOALS that are 100% relevant to your site and pages. You’ll also get step-by-step instructions on how to complete every Goal and which Squirrly tools to use to get it done faster.

Focus Pages and the SEO Audit are two other features that will reveal problems and guide you through the steps to make your site’s SEO better and improve your chances of ranking.

After doing a quick research:

Screpy looks like it has a nice Tasks system, which is somewhat similar to the Next SEO Goals system. However, Next SEO Goals from Squirrly covers a broader range of aspects. (you can learn more about this feature from Squirrly here).

Screpy also seems to focus most on monitoring.

Squirrly also covers this with features such as the SEO Audit Suite, rank tracking, and more. But it also helps to actively improve your rankings with features such as Focus Pages, SEO Live Assistant, keyword research tool, Bulk SEO, and much more.

You can see more than 500 features that Squirrly offers for SEO here.
