SEO Keyword Hound - Metaboxes - SEO Keywords


The SEO Keywords Metabox

Back to the guides


Metaboxes

Metaboxes are the useful draggable boxes found while editing posts or pages. 

Important

You must save or publish the page/post before The SEO Keyword Hound panels appear.

The SEO Keyword Hound uses three metaboxes and this guide will cover the SEO Keywords Metabox.


Quick Start

When you start working on a page, the SEO Keywords will be empty. You can click the button Get Sample Keywords and the plugin will fetch some suggestions for you.

 They are based on the title, category and tags of that page or post.

Save and you the plugin will add these words for you.

Now, let's master this metabox!

Statistics Panel

Here you can find the current status of the keywords in your text. Clicking a main keyword allows you to edit it and clicking an alternative keyword allows you to edit the alternate keyword list.

If you are comparing them to a competitor or to a snapshot, the compared status will appear in a highlighted color to the right of your current page content.

Note: Current page keyword numbers reflect what is found when the frontend of your website is crawled. This means that if you have updated your content with additional keywords, you must hit "Publish" to refresh your on page stats.

  • Statistics table - You can change the sort order in the "Order by" toggle in the lower right.
  • Keyword Notes - Hovering the mouse shows a preview of the notes and clicking allows you to edit them.

    • Main keywords

      • Mark in Content - Highlights the keyword in the content area. Note: Works only in the visual editor mode.
