AI Content Helper is a tool that helps you optimize your page's content to rank for a specific keyword.

Many content optimization tools out there are seemingly similar, but Ahrefs uses a different and novel approach: Instead of counting the number of times a term is needs to be include in your content, Content Helper uses AI to identify the core topics for your target keyword, and scores how well your content covers those topics as you write it.

Click on the tool titled "AI Content Helper" in the navbar at the top. It can also be found in the More dropdown menu:

In the "Target keyword" field, enter in the Keyword you wish to rank for. If you are looking to revamp an already published article, you can enter the URL of that page in the "Article URL" field:

Choose the intent you want to analyze from the existing SERP (great for SERPs with multiple intents):

If you don't want to choose any of the suggested search intents, turn off the Group by search intent option and choose the competing articles you want to optimize against:

Then click "Continue".

This score ranges from 0 to 100, with 100 being total coverage of all topics present in the top pages for your target keyword.

To improve this score, check Topics in the Analysis section to see which topic you need to improve coverage on.

This score updates after every time you edit your content in the Editor.

View the key topics present in top-ranking articles, and see how your article(and your competitors) score in each topic area:

Your content's coverage for each specific topic is scored between 0-100:

Quickly brainstorm different titles that you can use for your content. Suggestions are provided by AI, and from competitor pages:

This doesn't affect your content score, but a well crafted title can help to attract people to click on them, and rank higher in the SERPs.

Quickly brainstorm different meta descriptions that you can use. Suggestions are provided by AI, and from competitor pages:

This doesn't affect your content score, but a great meta description can help attract more interest to your article when shown in the SERPs or on social media.

Here you will get helpful tips on how headings should be written, and a view into the headings structure for competing pages:

This not only gives ideas of what to create as headers, but also how they can be organized in your content.

See the actual full content body from competing pages, alongside helpful metrics like the page's word count, Domain rating, and number of referring domains:

This is convenient and useful for comparing against your competitors side-by-side to brainstorm content structure and ideas. More features are also on the way.

If you are editing an existing page and don't wish to start from scratch, you can click on "Fetch metadata from URL" to copy over an existing page's title and meta description. You can also click on "Import content from URL" to copy over the text of that page into the editor:

You can also just copy and paste any text and/or images into the editor itself.
