Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 14 of the 87 other SEO content tools we grade
Textmetrics is a content governance platform from the Dutch company Textmetrics BV. Its editor gives writers suggestions as they type on SEO and GEO, readability, inclusive language, accessibility and the organization's own tone of voice, and its dashboard monitors published content against the same rules. It is sold to larger organizations on a quote, with the rules set up during onboarding.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Textmetrics, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Rules are set up in onboarding, and changes go through a customer success manager.

The report card
Best for holding many writers to one style guide
Textmetrics checks text as people write for SEO and GEO, readability, inclusive language, accessibility and your own tone of voice, and monitors published pages against the same rules. No price is published, and a trial account only comes after a demo. Rules are set up in onboarding, and changes go through a customer success manager.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published. Textmetrics quotes by usage and organization size, so the price is only given on a sales call. |
| Free plan and trial | D | No free plan and no trial you can start yourself. A trial account is arranged only after a demo. |
| Features | C | A real-time editor for SEO, GEO, readability, inclusive language and tone, a content dashboard, custom rule sets and WCAG checks. It polices writing rather than planning it: no keyword research or briefs on record, and language checks cover twelve languages. |
| Ease of use | C | No rating on record. Rules are set up from your writing guide during onboarding, and adding domains or users goes through a customer success manager. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Chrome and Edge extensions, and add-ins for Word, Outlook and Google Docs, plus WordPress, Drupal, Adobe Experience Manager, Optimizely and SmartRecruiters. The API sits under the Advanced features. No app of its own. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Textmetrics is for
- Fits if your organization has many writers who must follow one writing guide
- Works for recruitment teams writing inclusive job ads inside their ATS
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price first, as quotes come only through sales
- Not for you if you want to try it yourself, as a trial comes only after a demo
- Watch out: language checks cover twelve languages, and Russian only in part
- Tight if you change things often, as adding domains or users goes through a customer success manager
- Watch out: the API, single sign-on and trainable custom functions are listed under the Advanced features

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Textmetrics you could make: reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 53 of the 87 other SEO content tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Reports: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- A score built from what the top results for each keyword cover.
- It plugs into other products, Microsoft Word, Microsoft Outlook and Google Docs among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Textmetrics’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
