Content Score
How Averi scores content quality and what the score means for your drafts.
Content Score gives you a fast quality check on any draft before you publish. It analyzes your content for SEO and GEO readiness and returns a score, feedback, and actionable recommendations — all inside the editor without leaving your Averi workflow.
What Averi Scores
When you run Content Score, Averi evaluates your draft across two dimensions:
- SEO (Search Engine Optimization) — How well your content is structured and optimized for traditional search engines like Google.
- GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) — How likely your content is to be picked up and cited by AI-powered search tools.
Each dimension is broken into individual factors (like keyword usage, content structure, or citation readiness). You'll see these as color-coded badges in the score panel — green for strong, yellow for needs attention, and red for areas that need work.
How to Score Your Content
Open your draft
Go to Drafting and open the content item you want to evaluate. Make sure your draft has body content.
Click Content Score
In the top-right corner of the editor, click the Content Score button. Averi saves your latest edits and starts analyzing automatically.
Review your results
The score panel opens with:
- Averi Content Score — Your overall score out of 100, displayed as a color-coded ring.
- Factors — Individual scoring factors from both SEO and GEO, sorted weakest-first so you can prioritize.
- Recommendations — Specific suggestions to improve your draft, each with a lightbulb icon.
What the Score Means
Your Content Score is a number from 0 to 100. The color of the score ring tells you where you stand:
- Green (80–100) — Strong content. Ready for final review and publishing.
- Yellow (60–79) — Good foundation, but there are areas worth improving before you publish.
- Red (below 60) — Needs significant revision. Focus on the lowest-scoring factors and recommendations first.
Aim for 80+
An 80+ score is the threshold for publish-ready content. That doesn't mean you should chase a perfect 100.
Content Score is a quality tool, not a perfection tool. A score in the 80s or 90s means your content is well-optimized for search and AI visibility. Pushing beyond that often means over-optimizing — stuffing in keywords, restructuring sections that already read well, or making changes that hurt readability for marginal scoring gains.
Your time is better spent on the things scoring can't measure: your unique perspective, brand voice, audience relevance, and editorial judgment. Use Content Score to catch real issues, then trust your review process to handle the rest.
Fixing Issues
Each recommendation in the score panel has a Fix with AI button. Click it and Averi will analyze your draft and suggest edits to address that specific issue. You'll see an Accept button to apply the suggestions, and Averi automatically re-scores after you do.
Best Practices
- Start with the red and yellow factors — fixing the lowest-scoring areas gives you the biggest improvement.
- Use Fix with AI for quick wins, but always review the suggested changes before accepting.
- Don't skip human review. Content Score checks optimization, not factual accuracy, legal compliance, or brand voice.
- Re-analyze after major edits. Small wording tweaks won't move the score much, but restructuring sections or adding depth will.
