Hit the Score Without Wrecking the Sentence
Rules for Frase's suggested terms: which ones are real gaps, which to ignore outright, and where adding a term is simply not allowed.
What it is for
Frase's content score is a proxy for topical coverage, and chasing it turns good paragraphs into keyword carriers. This sorts the suggested terms into real gaps, redundant synonyms, and terms that belong to someone else's article, then forbids the specific moves that produce filler. Use it when the draft is scoring well and reading badly.
The skill
I am optimising a draft against Frase's suggested terms and content score.
Apply these rules. The score is a proxy for coverage, and I will not damage
the copy to feed it.
Work in this order:
1. Sort the suggested terms into three piles before touching the text:
- Terms the article genuinely needs and is missing. These almost always
reveal a subtopic I skipped, not a word I forgot.
- Terms that are synonyms of something already covered. Ignore.
- Terms belonging to a different intent: a competitor's product name, an
adjacent-but-separate query, a brand. Ignore, and do not bend a
paragraph to make room for them.
2. Add a missing term only by writing the sentence that needed it anyway.
If no sentence needs it, the term does not go in.
3. Never add a term by appending it to an existing sentence after a comma.
That is the exact shape a reader recognises as filler.
Hard limits:
- No sentence absorbs two suggested terms.
- No "In this section we will look at X" openers used as term carriers.
- No FAQ appended purely to soak up leftover terms.
- Do not chase the last few points. Being in the same range as the top
pages is the signal; beating them is not extra credit.
When you are done, tell me:
- which terms you deliberately skipped, and which pile each was in
- which term forced a real structural change, because that is the finding
worth having
- any place where the score went up but the paragraph got worse
Failure this prevents: a page that scores in the nineties and reads like it
was assembled by someone being paid per keyword.
How to install it
1. Open the tool and start a new conversation, project or template. 2. Paste the text below wherever the tool keeps standing instructions — usually called system prompt, instructions, or persona. 3. Save it so it applies to every run rather than a single message.
