Voice to Text for SEO Specialists
Your SEO expertise lives in your head, not your typing speed. Blurt lets you speak content briefs, technical audits, keyword research notes, and client reports while your hands stay free. Hold a button, explain what you're thinking, release. Text appears wherever your cursor is — in Google Docs, Sheets, Ahrefs notes, anywhere. No more bottlenecking brilliant strategy behind slow typing. Just talk and document.
The Typing Problem
Writing content briefs that actually guide writers
You know exactly what the article should cover. The keywords, the intent, the structure, the competing pages to beat. But typing it all out takes 30 minutes per brief. By the fifth brief of the day, you're cutting corners. Writers get thin instructions. Content suffers. Rankings suffer. Your strategic knowledge is trapped behind a keyboard bottleneck.
Documenting technical SEO audits
You've crawled the site and found 47 issues. Now you need to explain each one: what's wrong, why it matters, how to fix it. You can explain any issue in 20 seconds out loud, but typing detailed recommendations takes 5 minutes each. The audit that should take an afternoon stretches into two days. Or worse, you skip the explanations and deliver a spreadsheet of cryptic error codes.
Organizing keyword research into actionable docs
Your spreadsheet has 500 keywords clustered into topics. Now you need to document the strategy: which clusters to prioritize, what content types fit each, how they map to the funnel. The analysis is done in your head. But translating that into a document your client or team can follow? That's another two hours of typing you don't have.
Client reporting that sounds like a human wrote it
The data is in your dashboard. Rankings up, traffic up, conversions up. But clients don't want numbers — they want narrative. They want to know what you did, why it worked, what's next. Writing that story takes longer than pulling the data. So you send another bullet-point report that undersells your work and confuses your clients.
Your wrists ache from documentation marathons
Keyword research, content briefs, audit reports, client emails, Slack messages, SOPs for your team. By Friday, you've typed more words than a novelist. Your wrists are screaming. You're 32 and already worried about how long you can keep this pace. The irony isn't lost on you: you optimize websites for a living but can't optimize your own workflow.

Real Scenarios
Dictating detailed content briefs in minutes
You've analyzed the SERP and know exactly what the article needs. Hold your hotkey and talk through it: 'Primary keyword is best CRM for small business, search intent is commercial comparison, target word count 2,500 words, structure should include intro, top 10 list with pros and cons for each, comparison table, and FAQ section covering pricing and integrations.' A comprehensive brief dictated in 45 seconds instead of 15 minutes of typing.
Explaining technical issues in audit reports
The crawl found orphan pages buried in the site architecture. Hold button, explain: 'Found 23 orphan pages receiving organic traffic but not linked from anywhere on the site. These pages are at risk of losing rankings as crawl budget is wasted. Recommend adding contextual internal links from related category pages and including in XML sitemap.' Technical recommendation documented in 15 seconds with full context.
Recording keyword research insights
You've found a content gap the competition missed. Hold and capture your thinking: 'Competitor analysis shows no one is targeting integration keywords like Salesforce CRM integration with Mailchimp. Monthly volume is 1,200 with low difficulty. This cluster could drive qualified leads with comparison and tutorial content.' Strategic insight preserved before you forget the reasoning.
Writing client report narratives
Rankings improved and you want to explain why. Hold button: 'This month we focused on building topical authority around your core product category. We published four supporting articles and added internal links to your main product page. As a result, that page moved from position 8 to position 3, increasing organic traffic by 340 percent.' Client-ready narrative in 20 seconds.
Documenting SOPs for your team
Your new hire needs to learn your content brief process. Instead of typing a lengthy document, talk through it: 'Step one, pull the top 10 ranking pages and analyze their structure. Step two, identify content gaps using Ahrefs Content Gap tool. Step three, outline required sections based on SERP feature analysis.' Training documentation created at the speed of thought.
Responding to client questions in Slack
A client asks why their rankings dropped. You know the answer but typing it out breaks your flow. Hold and explain: 'The ranking drop correlates with your site migration last week. Several redirect chains are causing crawl issues. I'm documenting the fixes now and will have recommendations by end of day.' Professional response sent in 8 seconds, back to your audit.
Adding notes in SEO tools
You're in Ahrefs and want to annotate why a backlink matters. Hold button: 'This link from Search Engine Journal is valuable because it's from a high-authority site in our niche with relevant anchor text. Acquired through guest post outreach in October.' Context captured directly in your workflow without switching apps.
