How to update your content in 10 steps.
Easily add keyphrases to track before publishing
If you are working on a draft and you have forgotten to add keyphrases to track, Wincher will remind you after you hit Publish and let you add them with a click of a button (see screenshot below).
Track the Wincher insights on the WordPress Dashboard
When you have connected Wincher to your site and added keyphrases to track, a Wincher widget also appears on the WordPress dashboard. That gives you a quick overview of how your keyphrases are doing (see screenshot below).

Combine that with a Wincher paid plan, and you’ll be getting some great results!
