Two Ways to Start

There are two primary starting points in Frase:

  1. Start with Research

  2. Start with New Content Creation

Both lead to the same outcome: a structured brief and a fully optimized article (if needed). The difference is how hands-on you want to be.

Path 1: Research → Brief → Article (Plan-First)

Best for strategic, structured content planning.

Start in the Research tab, where you can perform:

  • Topic research

  • Competitor analysis

  • Gap analysis

  • SERP analysis

This allows you to deeply understand what’s ranking, what’s missing, and where opportunities exist.

From there, you can:

  • Create a structured brief

  • Customize the outline

  • Generate the full article when ready

Path 2: New Article → Automated Research (Fast & Guided)

Best for speed and AI-assisted workflows. Instead of starting with research, click Create New Article.

Frase will:

  • Research the topic in the background

  • Analyze the SERP

  • Decode search intent

  • Research keywords

  • Identify audience questions

  • Surface content opportunities

  • Show keyword performance insights

You’ll see this research as it happens, and it will automatically inform your brief and outline.

How Writing New Content Works

Every article in Frase is grounded in a brief—whether you build it deliberately or let Frase generate it for you.

The brief:

  • Shapes the outline and structure

  • Sets the direction for keywords and topics

  • Acts as the handoff between research and writing

Once that foundation is in place, Frase turns it into a complete article that you can edit, refine, and optimize. You can also write the article yourself if you prefer.

Available Content Types

Frase supports multiple content types. Your selection mainly determines the structure Frase builds for you.

Editing, Optimizing, and Publishing Content

If you're writing your own article without AI, we recommend using the Writing Guide panel in the Editor to ensure your content is optimized and comprehensive.

After an article is drafted or imported, Frase helps you turn it into a finished asset.

  • Make direct edits anywhere in the document

  • Use AI Rewrite to adjust tone, clarity, or phrasing (for example, “make this more conversational”)

2

Optimize for SEO and GEO

  • Compare your content against competitors

  • Strengthen coverage, structure, and clarity where it matters most

4

Repurpose

Repurpose your article into:

  • Twitter / X threads

  • LinkedIn carousel posts

  • Instagram carousel posts
