These are some helpful observations. My biggest concern with writers shooting for Search Engine Rankings is the content often feels unnatural. This comes from personal observations when I look at my own past content.

My fishing blog goes from a forced SEO writing style to a much more fluid style when browsing my posts in chronological order. The part I find helpful for Leos is the suggestions on trending subjects.

It would be helpful to have a few more WordPress like editor's tools. Introducing an SEO Plugin (or other SEO system) could have an adverse effect on post quality.
