You\u2019ll have to manually sift through them and pick the most relevant ones. Which defeats the purpose of using a content optimization tool in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Any SEO tool will spit out 10s or 100s of recommendations.

Frase may be inexpensive, but both its content briefs and optimization features are subpar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With so many features, Frase ends up lacking on many fronts. No writing assistance, weak content optimization, and poor help and support navigating the tool come to mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are just a few limitations that prevent Frase from being the best SEO tool for determining your content strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Here are five Frase alternatives: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1.
