What is Frase?
Frase analyses the pages that already rank for a query and turns them into a content brief: the headings, questions and topics your article should cover. You can then write with AI assistance inside Frase, score the draft against competitors and audit existing pages for decay.
The page also covers AI visibility as part of the content workflow. Check the official Frase website for the engines, integrations and features available in your account.
Key features of Frase
SERP-based content briefs
Enter a keyword and Frase pulls headings, questions and topics from top-ranking pages, so writers start with a researched outline rather than a blank page.
AI writing and optimisation scoring
Drafts are scored against competing pages for topic coverage, which helps writers see what is missing before publishing.
Content audits and Content Guard
Frase audits existing pages and monitors them over time, flagging content that is losing relevance so you can refresh it.
AI visibility tracking
Use available AI visibility data to review where your content is cited. Coverage depends on the engines and prompts being monitored, so it is not a complete picture of every AI answer.
How IPSense and our clients use Frase
Every article IPSense plans for a client starts as a Frase brief. Premium clients receive briefs, optimisation checks and quarterly content audits from our Frase account as part of their SEO retainer.
- Create a Frase brief for each target query in the content plan.
- Write with the client's experts, then check coverage against the brief.
- Run quarterly audits and refresh pages that are slipping.

Frase: frequently asked questions
What is Frase used for?
Frase helps with content research, article briefs, AI-assisted drafts and content optimisation. It gives writers a starting structure and helps them review which topics a draft covers.
What is an SEO content brief?
An SEO content brief is a writing plan that sets out the target query, reader needs, headings and questions to answer. A useful brief also includes your own expertise, examples and reliable sources.
How does Frase help improve existing content?
You can use content research and optimisation guidance to review gaps in an existing page. Check whether the page answers the reader’s question, then update outdated details and add useful information.
Can Frase replace a human writer or editor?
No. AI-assisted drafts still need fact-checking, clear explanations and business-specific details. A human editor should review the content before it is published.
Does a high content score guarantee better rankings?
No. A content score is a guide to topic coverage, not a promise of search rankings or AI citations. Use it alongside editorial judgement and actual website performance.
