Once you finish the steps above, you can optimize your old posts and new for your target keyword. You need to click on create a new template in the “SEMRush SEO writing Assistant” part and add your target keyword and location (see the below screenshot for better understanding).
Now add your target keyword or keywords, and you have the option to select your target location and device (desktop or mobile).
Once done, click on “Create SEO content template”, and it will start creating recommendations.
Now, every part is equally important, but I usually pay special attention to “words” and “recommended keywords” section. Since these suggestions are based on current top 10 results for target keywords, it saves you from the headache of figuring the ideal length of the content”. The ideal length could be 300 or 3000 words. This should be determined by the keywords that you are targeting.
