The Best Content Writing Tools for SEO – Technologist

4. Hemmingway Editor: Content Simplifier

Even people who have been writing blogs for ages can fall into the trap of overcomplicating sentences. If you have this habit, the Hemmingway App is your new best friend.

The free version checks for hard-to-read phrases, strange connectors, weak terms, and passive expressions. Then, it assigns a helpful readability score.

5. Evernote: Content Planning and Organization

Google Docs (with excellent project collaboration features) or Microsoft Word offer outstanding content writing tools for seo when you’re at your desk, but what if inspiration strikes elsewhere?

Evernote (or OneNote) is a perfect solution for note-taking on the go:

• Access and sync your account from different devices: Sometimes, amazing ideas pop into your head when you’re lying down for a nap or waiting in traffic, and this feature makes it easy to capture your thoughts.
• Group notes into notebooks: Speed up your content creation by doing away with rigid outlines. Creating one note for each main point can make the writing process less intimidating.
• Use templates for everything: Create content calendars, weekly planners, and daily to-do lists easily.

With Evernote, it’s easier to control of your schedule and stay productive.

What About AI Content Writing Tools?

At BKA Content, we don’t use generative AI for writing (unless one of our clients specifically asks us to). We prefer creating amazing SEO content from scratch. That said, we respect business professionals who want to use AI to assist with writing.

For basic outlines, you can use the browser version of Google Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, or OpenAI GPT-4o free. If you want output editing tools, there are limited free plans with Copy AI (2,000 words per month), Rytr (10,000 words/month), and Scalenut (2,000 words/month).

Paid options from HubSpot and Jasper AI offer more comprehensive SEO content tools, but the pricing gets steep ($39 for Jasper AI) quickly.

A Word of Warning

AI can give you a workable foundation for content, but the hassles may not be worth it.

Law of Averages

It’s practically impossible for large language models to produce creative or unique perspectives. Instead of an Oscar-winning film, you get the equivalent of every Marvel superhero summer blockbuster mashed together.

Fake Facts

AI writing tools tend to pull “alternative” facts out of thin air. Articles that sound trustworthy may contain false information that hurts your customers or damages your reputation. Be especially careful with health, financial, or legal content.

Copied Content

A big reason we avoid AI is the risk of copied content. Google can detect repetitive or identical phrasing, and low-quality pages often have trouble ranking.

OK, So How Do I…

Prompts are only the beginning if you want reliable content:

• Read through the entire article, highlighting any parts with key facts, figures, or red flags.
• Check recognized websites (Forbes, WebMD, etc.) to verify the accuracy of the main points.
• Rewrite the content in your own words to add depth and personality.
• Only use statistics when you can link them to a reputable source.

Does this seem like almost as much work as writing a good article by hand? That was our experience, too.
