Quick vs. Full Optimizations
Content Raptor offers two types of optimization depending on how a keyword relates to your page. You choose the type when starting an optimization from the Keyword Opportunities or Page Opportunities views.
Full Optimization
Use when: The keyword is relevant to the entire page.
A full optimization takes you through the complete wizard (choose topic, search settings, outline, brief) and opens the Page Optimizer editor where you can rewrite or improve the full page content with entity scoring and competitor analysis.
This is the standard optimization workflow covered in the Content Optimization Wizard guide.
Quick Optimization: Optimize Page Section
Use when: The keyword is relevant to just one section of a page, not the whole thing.
Instead of rewriting the entire page, you add or improve a specific section to better address the keyword. This is faster than a full optimization and avoids disrupting content that's already working well.
Quick Optimization: Link to Relevant Page
Use when: The keyword is ranking for the wrong page on your site.
If Google is showing Page A for a keyword that's really about Page B, this optimization helps you fix the mismatch. The recommended action is typically to add an internal link from the currently ranking page to the correct target page.
Choosing the Right Type
When you click "Optimize" on a keyword opportunity, Content Raptor shows an optimization strategy dialog with these options:
- Full optimization — "Query is relevant to this entire page"
- Quick: optimize page section — "Query is relevant to a section of this page"
- Quick: link to relevant page — "Query is most relevant to a different page"
- Archive — "Query is not relevant to site" — Removes the keyword from your opportunities list so it doesn't show up again
If you're unsure, select "Help me decide" — Content Raptor will analyze the keyword's relationship to the page and recommend the best optimization type based on the content match.
Time comparison:
- Full optimization — 30–60 minutes (wizard setup + writing)
- Quick: optimize section — 10–20 minutes (add or improve one section)
- Quick: link to relevant page — 5 minutes (add an internal link)
Managing Quick vs. Full Tasks
The Optimizer Tasks board lets you filter between task types using the tabs at the top:
- All tasks — Shows everything
- Full optimizations — Only full optimization tasks
- Quick optimizations — Only quick optimization tasks
Both task types can be viewed in Kanban board or Table layout.
