To rank, you need to research and do a competitive analysis of what’s already ranking. Hemingway hasn’t really helped us with this step in the writing process. Over the next quarter, we plan on using INK. It’s supposed to provide feedback to help improve relevancy and rankings.

Hi Samyuktha -

Thanks for your comment. The Hemingway Editor is a copy content tool for readability, grammar, etc. For content marketing to be effective, content needs to be easily consumable by both people and search engines. I would recommend using both tools. Other search ranking tools to use in combination with editing tools (e.g., Hemingway Editor and Grammarly) are SEMrush, BuzzSumo, ahrefs, Spyfu, Moz - and there are many more.

    ​Marketing tips for small business.


    Did you know "klein" means small in German? Which is perfect since we help "klein" businesses with all of their "groß" (big) marketing needs. We believe that just because you're small, doesn't mean your marketing efforts have to be.
