What On Earth Is Squirrly?
Hello Guys 'n Dolls!
Just saying hello and I was wondering if anyone of you in the community were using Squirrly?!!
Well, I am - and it's my newly found love!
OK, have you heard about Squirrly?
No, I did not misspell the word squirrel. I mean the word squirrly. Neil Patel is no stranger to the internet world and SEO - he is one of the well-known gurus when it comes to SEO. He speaks highly of this software and I felt encouraged to check it out!
Squirrly is a software tool that you can use to further optimize your content before publishing.
You can check out Squirrly https://www.squirrly.co/wordpress-seo-by-squirrly#page_block... – this is not an affiliate link.
Here are a few features:
- There are 108 features compared to 15 for regular SEO
- You can use it with whatever SEO software you currently use: Yoast, All-in-One SEO
- It has a free version and a paid version
- You can control how Google sees your content as well as the more popular social media sites (Facebook, twitter, linkedin, google plus)
- Checking your keyword is built into the software
- Copyright-free images are uploaded based on the keyword you use
- Google Analytics for your page
- Performance analytics
- SEO audits
And these are just a few features, of course some of the ones listed come with the Pro package offered. My advice is to try the free version before making any type of purchase commitment.
I am using the free version along with my Yoast plugin and I am having a ‘blast’!!
I feel like a million dollars each time I see the little ‘green ball’ indicator that tells me ‘I am looking good’.
It gets even better when my score is 100% optimized – I have gotten a few of those and I publish my content with confidence! Even when my score is below 100%, I still feel confident because I think anywhere above 85% is still great when it comes to optimization.
However, I am still getting ‘the hang of it’, and so far, so good. This software is really a good assistant to help optimize your content.
Of course, I would love to hear your feedback.
All the best.
Namaste

I am testing the free trial on one of my sites and am very impressed but the cost is prohibitive to go Pro and the results are too low on the free version being able to use the keyword search for just 5 articles a month.
Yes, the price can be prohibitive, however, making use of 5 blogs each month is better than none. This is how I choose to look at it until I can 'take it to the next level'-paid.
Much success.

This sounds interesting but I’m guessing it is a plugin? And I have too many of those already. I’m not sure how anyone can only use the recommended 5.
I will take a look though.
With Grace and Gratitude

Yes, it is, but a piece of advice. Check your site speed before you install it and then after to see if has affected your loading speed. If not, then give it a 'squirrl'.LOL

Hi Michelle, I went to the link squirrly.com and not finding any of the features that you mentioned. All I see is that the site is for sale or lease. Where do I go to find what you have found?
Thanks,
Brian
Sorry, Brian. Try this,

I will update the post.

Here's the features list https://plugin.squirrly.co/wordpress-seo-plugin-by-squirrly/#squirrly_features
By your description I still don't know what the software can do for me. Does it improve my writing? Links? Keyword placement?
I'm also always a bit aware that also Neil Patel is a marketing man and sells a great deal of stuff, so I am not sure if I need the software.
It sounds nice though and I would have to check it out further to make my final decision.
Ps you linked the wrong domain
Hello Steven,
In as simple words as I can write - it is a content assistant. I agree that people will try to 'sell you and upsell you' things that you might not need or use, however, this is a software with a free and paid option.
It helps me to get my content SEO ready and it works for me. It helps me write my content with confidence that the SEO part of it is 'somewhat on tap'!
Hey, you can try it if you like - or not, just a suggestion that I have found helpful in my writing.
Much success.

Perfect Michelle! Thanks for the resource, I will have to check it out!
All the best,
Andre
I never heard about it before. I will have to try it out. It sounds like a great software to have. But, just how would I install and activate this software to my WordPress dashboard so I can use it when writing content?
Thanks,
Nickoy
I will do so when I get the chance to- on my laptop. I can't do it on my phone now. Is there anything else that I would need to do after downloading it?
Thanks.
I don't think so. Just upload. I am trying to remember what I did - you may want to see if there is a plugin on your WP dashboard where you add new plugins.
Hi. I hope you are OK. I am using squirrly now. I recently installed and activated it. My first content is said to be 92% optimized with the title of the post. I hope to have more posts with a score as this or even higher.
I do not completely understand how to use it though as I am just starting. But it seems cool so far.
Thanks again for sharing.
