SEO
Everything you need to know about Quix's built-in SEO feature aka QuixRank.
Keyphrase Length
The keyphrase length checks whether the focus keyphrase is present and whether it is too long or not. You can try to target a rather short keyphrase in a cornerstone article (e.g., “page builder”) or a long one in a more specific piece of content (e.g., “best free page builder”). But if you haven’t set a focus keyphrase, SEO cannot calculate the score of your page.
Importance of keyphrase length for SEO
Using longer focus keyphrases, you are automatically optimizing your page for the long tail.
Text Length
Text length indicates the length of the text. To rank well in the search engines, a blog post should contain some minimum amount of words. Long posts will get easily ranked rather than short posts. From posts more than 1000 words, the search engines get more clues to determine what the text is about.
How text length works
To determine whether your post will rank or not, you need to find the length of the text. For that, you need to know how many words the page has and how much it should contain.
Image Alt Attributes
Image alt attributes checks if there are images in your post and if there are alternate tags that use the keyphrase. By adding an alt text in image, you provide users and search engines with a textual description of what’s on that image. This improves your chance of ranking in image search.
Importance of optimizing images for SEO
Images can improve almost any post or page. A website without an image is nothing but a boring and dull site. Also, think about how hard it would be to make money wit

Meta Description Length
What is a meta description?

A good meta description summarizes what the page is about and triggers people to visit your page. You can find the meta description field in the snippet editor of the meta box.
What does the length meta description check do?
This check measures the length of your meta description. It checks whether it is too short (les
Outbound Links
Outbound links are links from your website to other websites.
What does the outbound link check do?
The outbound links check counts the number of links you’ve added to your post or page. It counts nofollowed and followed links. To get a green bullet you’ll have to add at least one followed link.
Why are outbound links important for SEO?
An outbound link is not essential if you want your post to rank. That’s why you won’t receive a red, but an orange bullet if you don’t have any outbound links.
SEO Title Width
What is the SEO title?
Your SEO title will be visible to people who are not on your website yet. It will be shown to people on the search engines’ results pages as the title of your snippet, and it can, therefore, be different from the title of your post or page.
What does the SEO title width check do?
This check assesses the length of your SEO title. If you haven’t created any SEO title yet, the assessment will remind you to do so. You will also receive a bad score if your title is too short an

Using SEO section of Quix, you’re bound to fill out your focus keyphrase section for rank up in any searching engine.

Add More Content
Every page on your site needs to contain a certain amount of words to be able to rank. How long your text should be, depends on the kind of page: taxonomy pages require (slightly) less content than posts, whereas cornerstone content should be exhaustive and therefore needs to contain a significant amount of words.
Why lengthy posts are needed?
Writing long blog post specifically 1000 words or more than that, will give a higher chance to rank top in Google, Bing or in other search engine. At Them
