Core Features of Frase.io

Topic Idea And Question Idea Generation

Generating content topic ideas with Frase is so easy. You can just simply do it in several ways using Frase.

When it comes to researching questions, It can be time consuming. Like you have to go to Quora, enter your keyword and collect the most famous questions by analyzing the search result. This isn’t even a google search which is a whole different level of time sucking process.

Well, Frase will be there to do this tedious task for you. You can search a broad keyword term under “Question Ideas” feature. That will get you a long list of most commonly asked question- related to your chosen keyword.

This is extremely useful feature as it helps you get clear idea about what your audience is searching for.

You’ll get below details in your brief

  1. Top 10 processed sources
  2. Avg. source length

Along with the SEO keywords and blog post overview, you’ll also get other details like headings, important subsections and summaries of top search results.

So basically it helps you to analyze your competitor’s post much easier.


Frase Answer Engine


Frase answer engine which is an AI powered chatbot is a feature helps your visitors to get answers and engage with your site in most effective way.This chatbot is user friendly and super easy to install.

 Frase will convert the content of your website into related answers. This tool crawls your whole website and creates a knowledgebase by breaking your site into various sections to answer your visitor’s questions.

Frase’s answer assistant can deliver answers 24/7 so whenever a web user asks a question, he will be quickly replied.

Since your website is re crawled by Frase every week, your visitors will definitely  get genuine and up- to-date answers.

That’s not all.

You can follow your visitors by analyzing important data such as their click through rates and ratings. Even there is live chat option too so that you can chat with your readers directly.


Frase Concept Map

A concept map can easily be generated from a topic chosen using Frase. This concept map feature extracts topic of content from Wikipedia and then connects all related topics together and will provide you a summary of content of Wikipedia.

Although, this feature of concept map may require some exploring before finding a topic to write about. Still this excellent feature comes handy when you’re running out of topics to write on.

Especially if you are good in keyword researching, Frase will help you boost your ranking 100%.

Researching And Creating Content

As mentioned earlier, Frase helps you reducing time that you’ve been spending on content creation by generating you a content brief that has been used by your competitors which is called “Documents” in the Frase.

With the help of Document feature, one can add, remove or modify content very easily. Frase will also help you getting idea about your competitor’s blog since it will briefly analyze their content which includes topic they’ve covered, summary of topic and frequently asked questions in their articles.

There is a tab for browsing statistics related to average link and word count. You can analyze all these from the content of top results.

 

Content Optimization


Besides saving your valuable research time, another attractive feature of Frase is a content optimization tool that really helps you optimize the existing content of your very easily and smoothly.

As you enter your preferred keyword, Frase will provide you the best suggestions by analyzing your competitor’s content articles. Frase extracts the most used terms being used in their articles and counts the same.

These most used terms which are suggested keywords by Frase is so powerful since Google is already set with their mind with what should be on their first page. If you’re able to optimize these keywords properly, then you can surely defeat your competitors and rank higher.

As you start optimizing your content, you’ll be showed a proprietary scoring system of Frase called “Topic score” where your article is scored against your competitors. Your aim should be to increase your topic score against your competitors. Higher your score, the more chances of you ranking higher. You can add more and more suggested keywords in order to increase your score.

If you’re thinking about the best ways to increase the topic score, Frase is here to provide you below three features.

  1. SERP mentions
  2. Co-Occurences
  3. Related topics

SERP Mentions

As you start writing new content, you may not know the arrangement of some targeted keywords. In this SERP mentions tab, you will get to know about the stuffing of specific keywords by your competitors.

This feature gives you proper idea about how you’re supposed to use specific keyword in such a way that you can defeat your competitors.

Co-Occurrences

Next comes Frase Co-Occurrences feature. This tab will show you other terms which have been added with the specific keyword in the same sentence.

As this feature indicates you that what you’re supposed to do with your article, you can make your content “more relatable” to Google’s eyes.

This is again, one of the powerful key features of Frase.

 

Related Topics

Under the Related topics tab, Frase will draw all related (similar) topics from Wikipedia knowledge graph.

Although this feature is most likely to help in content optimization, it can also help you researching any specific topics.

Suppose you want to optimize your content for the keyword “how to write article from scratch”, you will need to get more information about it. Here, this feature will provide you with a list that can help you deep researching on specific topic.

Content Curation

Another cool feature of Frase is Content curation. As you create a new document and select Content curation tab, you’re needed to type search terms on search bar. After that it will start showing you content ideas and related questions to your topic.

From this page, you can analyze content of top 10 ranking pages, view the brief summary of each article or can automatically add an overview by clicking on “Add to Document”.

Also, it provides you a platform to write your article here and you can directly export it to other platforms like WordPress, HubSpot and many others. Actually I am going to write about it in the right next key feature of Frase that is Frase integration.

Frase Integration

According to Frase website, Frase provides you integration with WordPress, Google drive, HubSpot COS, HubSpot HRM, MailChimp and Google Search Console.

Google Search Console Integration

GSC is quite interesting. Here, you are able check which one of your articles is ranking for exactly which queries.

Frase will extract the keyword you’re ranking for and then cluster them by topics. According to its positions, clicks and impressions, it is then ranked.

Based on this data information, Frase will recommend you an action to be taken in order to increase organic search traffic. It allows you to create new document, optimize or track a current one.

HubSpot Integration

With HubSpot CRM integration, you can send leading information extracted from answer engine directly to HubSpot.

FAQ Schema Of Frase


You are not required to manually add FAQ schema into your content anymore!

The FAQ schema feature of Frase automatically identifies the questions on your site and inserts JSON-LD snippet into your website page.

You’re just needed to insert a script line into a header of your theme and everything will be done for you. Installing this is quite easy if you know installing Google Analytics.

This schema can be a huge time saver for all the SEOs who used to use manual FAQs generator online.

 

Media Monitoring With Frase

Like most other monitoring tools, Frase also makes it very easy to analyze any topic on the web and get a brief summery feed of fresh content. It sets up the topics you want to follow. For more specific results, you can apply conditions such as ‘and’/ ‘or’ to topics.

And the best part is this feature lets you apply filters so that you can get much more related articles. In fact you can get rid of noise from unwanted publishers since you can set up your preferred sources.

Finally you can even receive regular email with summarized sources and share the same with your other team members.

Customer Support Of Frase

Although support is not a technical feature of Frase, but it’s worth mentioning in this Frase review. Tommy Rgo- the founder of Frase is pretty active inside the private Facebook group of Frase and tries to respond all the queries, fix bugs quickly. You may get your query resolved within 24 hours.

Sometimes some questions are found to be asked frequently in the Facebook group but the founder never fails to reply politely and patiently.

They also consider your recommendations. Even many have been added as their additional features.

However, the improvement seems to be done on their knowledgebase explaining how to use a tool. Since this SEO tool is not so newbie friendly. Many users are required to ask for help from other group members.
