# Vague Language Detector

## **What is the Vague Language Detector?**
The **Vague Language Detector** finds weak, non-specific phrases that make your content harder to trust or quote. Words and phrases like "fast", "many", "significant", or "industry-leading" tell the reader very little, and they give AI search systems nothing concrete to extract.

## **Why is this useful?**
AI search systems favour clear, specific, extractable answers. Vague wording is less useful than a precise, supported statement - both for a human deciding whether to trust you and for a system deciding whether to quote you. This tool surfaces the vague phrases on a page so you can replace them with specifics.
**Example:** replace "our software saves teams lots of time" with a clearer, measurable statement backed by evidence.

## **How does the Vague Language Detector work?**
The tool analyses your page content and flags words and phrases that are non-specific or unsupported, highlighting each one so you can see it in context and decide on a stronger, more concrete replacement.

**How to run a check:**

* From your dashboard, click the 'select your website' dropdown at the top of the page and choose your site. Select **Labs** from the left-hand menu, and scroll down to find **Vague Language Detector**.

* Enter the **URL** of the page you want to check:

* Click **Analyze** **Content**. The tool scans your content and returns the flagged phrases.
* Review each flagged phrase in context and revise it into a specific, supportable statement.

## **Tips for getting the most out of it**

* **Replace, don't just delete.** The goal isn't to strip out every soft word - it's to swap vague claims for concrete, verifiable ones.
* **Pair it with the**[ **__Unanchored Claims Analyzer__**](https://support.seotesting.com/en/article/unanchored-claims-analyzer-1m2j65d/)**.** Vague wording and unsupported claims often sit together; fixing both makes a page markedly more credible.
* **Keep your voice.** Specific doesn't have to mean dry - add the number or detail, but keep it in your own tone.
