Optimisation recommendations

The tool gives specific suggestions for what to change on a page or in your content to improve visibility, rather than only reporting the current numbers.

What it is

Optimisation recommendations turn data into actions. Instead of only showing that a page ranks poorly or that AI answers do not mention your brand, the tool lists concrete changes, such as adding a missing topic, improving a heading, fixing a title or earning mentions on certain sites. Clearscope, Otterly.AI, Peec AI, Profound, Scrunch AI, Semrush AI Toolkit and SurferSEO are listed as having it.

Why it matters

Numbers alone leave a busy team asking what to do next. Clear recommendations save time, particularly for people who are not search specialists. They matter when nobody on the team has deep SEO knowledge, or when you manage many pages. Treat them as suggestions, since a tool cannot know your strategy, and some advice will be generic or wrong for your case. Specialists may find them less useful than the underlying data.

What to check

  • Are the recommendations specific to your page and competitors, or generic tips.
  • Does the tool rank them by likely impact or effort.
  • Does it explain why each one matters.
  • Can you mark recommendations as done and see whether results change afterwards.
