SEO Tools for Bloggers
Rank more blog posts without breaking the bank. Stop paying $99/month for features you don't need. Optiwing's pay-as-you-go model helps bloggers save $900+/year while growing organic traffic.
The Blogger's Challenge
Tight Budget
You're just starting out or monetization is limited. $99/month for Ahrefs is 20-50% of your monthly revenue. That money should go to hosting, content, or ads.
Content Planning
You need to publish 10-20 posts per month to grow. But which topics? Which keywords? Manual research takes hours away from writing.
Keyword Cannibalization
You've published 50+ posts but rankings are stagnant. Multiple articles might be competing for the same keywords without you realizing it.
Need to Scale
To monetize (ads, affiliates, sponsors), you need 25k+ monthly visitors. That requires strategic, data-driven content - not guesswork.
What Bloggers Actually Need
Keyword Research
Find topics people actually search for. Discover 500-1,000 keyword ideas in your niche with search volume and difficulty scores.
Keyword Clustering
Group related keywords so you know which ones to target together. Prevent cannibalization and build topical authority.
Content Briefs
AI-generated outlines with H-tags, related questions, and topics to cover. No more staring at a blank screen.
Affordable Pricing
Pay-as-you-go means you only spend money when you're actively growing your blog. Not monetized yet? Start with $10.
Simple Interface
No PhD required. Upload keywords, get clusters in minutes. Export to spreadsheet, start writing.
Content Calendar
Turn clusters into a publishing schedule. Know what to write for the next 3-6 months based on data, not guesses.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much should I spend starting out?
Start with the Basic pack ($10 for 1,000 credits). Use 500 credits to cluster keywords, 375 for content briefs. This gives you a 3-4 month content calendar for $10 one-time. No monthly commitment.
Do I need SEO experience to use Optiwing?
No! Upload keywords (or use our discovery tool), click "cluster", and get organized topics in minutes. The AI briefs tell you exactly what to write about. Perfect for beginners. Check out our keyword research guide.
Can I use this with WordPress?
Yes! Export your clusters and briefs, then use them to plan content in WordPress. The AI briefs work great as Gutenberg blocks or with any editor. No plugin needed.
What if I'm not making money yet?
Perfect! Start small with $10 and build your content foundation. Once you're monetized ($500+/month), spending $20-35/month on keyword clustering is a tiny investment for continued growth.
How is this better than free tools?
Free tools like Google Keyword Planner don't cluster keywords or prevent cannibalization. Manual clustering takes 10-20 hours. Optiwing does it in 10 minutes with 95% accuracy using real SERP data. Your time is valuable - spend it writing.
