How I'm using Penfriend to write new blogs

_{Day 210/100}

Hey—It's Tim. 

I’ve been heads-down working through your feedback on Penfriend’s new Search Score.
It’s been gold.

What changed

We rebuilt Penfriend and added Search Score.
It maps the fan-out sub-topics Google/LLMs expect to see for true topical coverage.

The most common feedback was “too many sub-topics.”

Fixed.

Tiny fragments that belong together now merge into a single parent intent.
In tests so far, articles are tighter and sticking to the word counts.

Why this beats keyword lists

Old way: paste a bag of keywords and pray.
New way: cover the few parent intents, then satisfy their child signals.

If you’re coming from “keyword sprinkles” tools, you’ll be fine:
hit the keywords inside each sub-topic and Search Score will register it as covered.

But the goal is intent completeness, not stuffing.

How to use search score to create complete content

Take your any topic and drop it into the dashboard.

Choose your title - you’ll see they all align to search intent now. 👌

Make whatever changes you want to the outline and then send it off for Penny to write.
Go grab a coffee, tea, G+T (it’s still sunny, treat yourself). Come back in like 10 mins.

Now we can see the search score.

From here you’re gonna want to start filling in the gaps.
Internally we’ve been aiming for 75-80 for a sub-topic to be covered.

The higher the sub-topic, the more your competitors cover it. The lower down it is, the more they missed it, and it’s something unique you get vs everyone else.

The sidebar fix

You also told me the sidebar feels too big.
Agreed.
A quick redesign lands this week so the score guides you without hogging the canvas.

And a way to hide it for when you just want a chill blank slate to work in.

What I need from you

Go test Penfriend for me - here

If you send a short testimonial (a sentence or two is perfect), I’ll drop 8 credits on your account - one month of the Solo plan - on me.

Don’t forget. +50% extra credits on ANY PLAN for the month of September.
That’s as little as $6/article if you go the whole enchilada.
