Make sure the introduction mentions the main topic of your page’s content in order to optimize meta descriptions and titles. The introduction is where most of the information for your generated results is collected, so this is one more reason to ensure it is well-written. If you need a refresher on how to write a good introduction, check out this article.

Yoast AI Summarize
From long-form to key takeaways, in seconds.
Ever felt the pain of manually condensing a long article into a few punchy, skimmable takeaways?
Now you don’t have to. With Yoast AI Summarize, you can give every reader (and Google) instant clarity on what your content delivers, right at the top, right on point.
Why do key takeaways matter more than ever?
Search results are getting condensed.
- Readers skim first, dive later: Reader expectations are shifting. If search engines give “the answer” in seconds, your site must match that speed in comprehension. Users arriving from AI Overviews will skim first, and bounce if they can’t quickly grasp your value.
- Content alignment is the king: AI summaries aren’t always accurate. When Google or other AI systems summarize your page incorrectly, it’s often because your main points aren’t crystal clear. Key takeaways help ensure AI systems and readers understand your intended message.
- Google’s AI Overviews: AI Summarizes answers directly in search results. Users may never click through unless they believe your page offers clear, relevant, scannable value.
That’s why clarity about your content matters more than ever.
What is Yoast AI Summarize?
An AI-powered WordPress block available in Yoast SEO Premium, that automatically generates “Key Takeaways” from your post’s content in scannable bullet-point format.
Insert it anywhere in your post to give readers instant clarity on what you deliver. Writers save valuable editing time. And both search engines and AI tools get the message you actually intend.
Problems solved
- Manual summarization takes time: Condensing long articles into punchy takeaways is slow and inconsistent.
- Readers bounce when clarity is missing: Visitors won’t stick around if they can’t see your content’s value upfront.
- Publishing workflows get slowed down: Every new piece of content requires extra editing effort.
