Frase
AI SEO Content Optimization Platform
What is Frase?
Frase is an SEO-first AI content platform that combines SERP analysis, content briefs, and AI writing into a single workflow. Where general AI writers focus on draft speed, Frase prioritizes ranking by analyzing the top 20 Google results for your target keyword and extracting headings, questions, entities, and statistics that should appear in your content. The Frase content brief automatically generates an outline based on what's actually ranking, and the Frase AI Writer drafts each section using SERP context for relevance. Frase also includes a content optimizer that scores your draft against competitors in real time. Used by SEO teams at companies like Coursera, Frase fits between Surfer SEO and Clearscope in price and depth.
Key Features of Frase
