Understanding Content Score

What is A Content Score?

Content Score is a quality metric ranging from 1-100 that evaluates your content’s quality and relevance. It provides an objective way to measure both your Noble Content Lab’s content and competitor content, making comparisons straightforward.

Main Content’s Score

Your content receives a primary score calculated from multiple factors. This main score appears in the top menu bar next to your keyword and is displayed as a progress gauge.
