What is NicheIQ’s Topic Suggestions?

Topic Suggestions performs automated research to identify publication topics that add value and relevance specific to your domain. The suggested topics are content that will provide consistent value, not what is viral or emerging which usually has short-lived significance. The suggestions take into account variable metrics to calculate what topics are worth the effort and are evergreen in being content readers want at any given time.

Note: this is currently only available for U.S. region (English language) websites due to dataset and language processing, but we are working on expanding this feature internationally.

Broken Links automatically detects website and page errors in the last 7 days giving you the ability to hone-in on resolving active & current issues that impact your traffic and revenue.

By having data about deadends that throw error pages on your site, you have the ability to correct those pages so that visitors no longer receive an error and can be taken to the content they were seeking, improving the user experience. Being able to track what type of error and how often an issue occurs gives you the leverage to make corrections and move on.

What is NicheIQ’s Tag Tester?

Tag Tester allows you to A/B test different combinations of title tag and description tag on your site. By testing, you’ll see which variation outperforms the other so that you can publish your content with a title and description that drives traffic, improves CTR and decreases bounce rate. This tool makes it as easy as possible to determine the best SEO-friendly tags to use for your site.

What is NicheIQ’s Page Booster?

Tracking pages and detecting those that are starting to perform worse can be time-consuming. Page Booster will track all pages from your website and determine if they are trending up, stable, or trending down. For pages trending down, Page Booster provides a list of keywords that are losing search traffic and should be worked on in order to regain lost traffic.
