The fundamental difference

Frase optimises the page you're already writing

Frase is excellent at what it does: you give it a keyword, it analyses the top-ranking content for that keyword, and helps you create a page that's optimised to compete. It's a page-level optimisation tool. But you still need to decide which keyword to target, and you're working one page at a time.

Content Marketing Ideas finds the pages you should be writing

We work upstream of tools like Frase. Instead of optimising one page, we monitor your entire niche continuously and tell you which topics are worth writing about. The brief includes keyword data, competitive landscape, and three editorial angles. Then we can write the article for you in your voice and publish to WordPress.

They can work together

Content Marketing Ideas finds the topics and generates the brief. You can then use Frase to fine-tune the on-page optimisation of the article we generate. Discovery and enrichment upstream, page-level optimisation downstream. The tools complement rather than replace each other.
