SEO Lady Review 2023 - Why did I choose to pay for KWHero and not try for free?
As with most of the older generation of successful SEO’s, my obsession with the World Wide Web started in the last century, in late 1997. Picking up the passion for information, my new ‘shiny thing’ syndrome still steams on today. Over 23 years ago I met my husband in a Yahoo! chatroom for DJ’s.
A treble of decades may have merged, yet learning new knowledge in the 2020’s is drastically different. Whereby previously in school, learning a foundation skill, trade or cramming for scholarly exams, LLMs and AI tools pull continents of knowledge closer together, faster than ever before.

Let’s show you how our Keyword Hero tool can help you scale your website’s SEO content to heights you never knew possible.
Starting off with the Content Plans dashboard, go ahead and create a Content Plan in your target country and language. This will work in most official languages.
Once you’ve created a Content Plan, add some keywords to it. I’ll just add “best pizza in New York” then create a Content Editor for that keyword. You can also add a note for your team or a label to track progress.
The Content Editor will analyse the competition and tell us what exactly we need to do in order to outperform their content in terms of both relevancy and producing the type of content that search engines would be happy to rank for that keyword.
Once your editor is created, click to open it. In here you will see what our analysis of the competition recommends as you can see we have the ideal ranges the article should be in such as the recommended word count and heading, paragraph and image counts as well as readability recommendations such as the Flesch score range.
Additionally, and this is what can make all the difference, we have the NLP terms that the top ranking competitors have in their content, most of which you should also have. The content NLP terms such as “wood oven” and “pizza dough” are terms that are relevant to your keyword and will add value to it which you should try and include in either headings or just regular paragraph text.
You can also see the competitors that were analysed and how we scored them as well as our proprietary domain power metric. You can toggle them on or off based on whether you consider them relevant for this keyword or not. This will update the Content Editor recommendations to only use your selected competitors.
Now let’s move on to the fun part. Our Outline Builder lets you create an outline yourself or create an optimised AI outline with the click of a button. We are going to go with the AI one so I’ll just go ahead and click that.
You will receive a notification when the outline is ready it shouldn’t take longer than two minutes. Once that happens you can use the Outline Builder to move headings around or add new ones, set your preferred word count for each section and add additional section instructions.
