How Does It Work?
The SEO Writing Assistant plugin allows you to write, assess, and edit your content in WordPress.
To set it up, follow these steps:
- Click “Download” at the top of this page. The plugin will automatically save as a .zip file.

Technical details
Please be aware that the plugin uses a third-party code provided by the Semrush SEO Writing Assistant tool that is not reviewed by the WordPress team.
