Content Harmony: what it is, how it works & who it's for

Keyword research, content briefs and content grading in one workflow

Updated · Pricing checked October 2026

The software company separated from its former Content Harmony agency in 2020.

What is Content Harmony?

Content Harmony is a content research and brief-building tool that helps SEOs, content marketers and writers analyze a keyword, turn that research into a brief and grade the finished draft. Each unit of work is called a Content Workflow, which bundles a keyword report, a content brief and a content grader for one topic. The product is aimed at teams that produce briefs often and want to cut the time each one takes.

Keyword reports break down search intent, competitor headings, common questions, images and videos that rank for a query. Users then build a brief from customizable templates and share it by link with writers, clients and teammates. The content grader compares a draft or live URL with a topic model to show missing subtopics. Content Harmony also offers keyword difficulty broken into content, link and domain factors, plus an API for larger customers.
