How Does It Work?
The SEO Writing Assistant add-on allows you to write, assess, and edit your text in Google Docs.

To set it up, click “Install” and select your Google account when prompted (you will need to log in if you haven’t already). You’ll be notified when the installation is complete.

You can then use the tool in any Google Docs file under the “Add-ons” tab. Whenever you open a file, simply select “Show” and the tool will pop up as a sidebar in the document.

Limits
To use SEO Writing Assistant, you need to first specify your target keywords. This requires a Semrush account.

With a Free or Pro Semrush account, you can create one recommendation set (tied to a document) for a lifetime. Higher tier accounts have different keyword budgets depending on the subscription plan, as well as full access to the powerful Semrush Content Marketing Platform.

Note that your writer does not need to have a Semrush account to use the SWA template that you have created.
