Now, let’s show you how to input your target URL and keywords, get insights, optimize, and simulate your content with Content Simulation.

Step 1: Input your target URL and Keywords

  • Accessing the Tool: Log in to your ALPS account and navigate to the Page Simulation tool in the optimization tool menu.
  • Choosing the Locale: Choose the demographic you want to target.

  1. Page Assessment: ALPS Content Simulation dives deep into your on-page and off-page SEO for the target URL, giving you an overview of how your webpage is performing in key SEO metrics like content, authority, and technical.
  2. Competitive Analysis: Gain a competitive edge against your competitors with these focused insights:
  3. Score Gap Analysis: Find where you’re lagging behind the competition. With our proprietary scoring, quickly analyze where you stand against the top 10 competitors for content, authority, and technical SEO.
  4. Competitor Content Outline: Gain a clear view of your top 10 competitor’s content structure. With our easy-to-understand scoring, benchmark your page’s content performance against top competitors for key content aspects like URL, Title, Meta, H1, H2, H3, Body Content, and Readability grade.
  5. Backlink Summary: Get an overview of the performance of the backlink profiles and know the authority scores for the target page and the top 10 competitor pages. Analyze key authority parameters like backlink quantity, backlink quality, domain authority, and backlink relevance.
  6. Core Web Vitals: Analyze critical user experience metrics like loading speed, interactivity, and visual stability. You can use ALPS scores to analyze the technical performance and the Core Web Vitals (CWV) like Largest Contentful Paint (sec), First Input Delay (ms), Cumulative Layout Shift, Time To First Byte (sec), and much more for both the target URL and the top 10 competitors.

Step 3: Drive predictable SEO gains with AI-driven optimization

  • Visual cues: Based on the ALPS analysis, get visual cues (red, orange, green bulbs) to quickly identify how relevant your content is to the target keywords. This allows you to understand which aspects of your page content need immediate improvement.
  • Content improvements: Get AI-driven improvement recommendations to optimize your content’s URL, Title, Meta tags, Headings, and Body content. You can generate automated content suggestions and use them directly in the editor. 
  • Competitive Analysis: Get to know the exact content (Titles, Meta, etc.) used in the top 10 competitor pages and their relevance scores for the target keyword/s.
  • Phrase Usage: Know the usage of the keyword phrases and the frequency of those phrases in the competitor pages.

Step 4: Simulate content versions to identify the highest-performing version

Simulate: Consider ALPS Content Simulation as a sandbox for testing and optimizing your pages. Test your content based on different optimization ideas to choose the one that creates maximum performance impact.

In the Editor screen, just go to the content you would like to optimize (Title, Meta, Headings, etc.), change the current content with the new version, and click ‘Update Score and Predicted Rank’ to simulate and find the best version.
