Articles

The SEO Content feature lets you generate full-length, SEO-optimized blog articles in minutes, complete with meta tags, images, and structured headings, and publish them directly to your website. No copy-pasting, no manual formatting.

Sorank gives you two ways to create content depending on how hands-on you want to be: Automatic Schedule to plan dozens of articles in advance and let the AI handle everything on autopilot, or Manual Article to generate, review and publish articles one batch at a time.

Automatic Schedule

The Automatic Schedule is Sorank's "hands-free" content engine. You plan keywords into a calendar, and Sorank generates and publishes one article per scheduled slot, on the day and time you defined, without you touching a thing. It's the best fit if you want to scale your blog steadily over weeks or months without doing the work yourself every day.

The Schedule Calendar

The calendar is the heart of the Automatic Schedule. Each cell represents a publishing slot on a given day. Once a keyword is dropped into a slot, Sorank will automatically generate the article and push it to your connected CMS at the configured publish time.

From the top-right of the page you can:

• Schedule keywords in bulk from your existing silos.
• Generate articles immediately for the current slots.
• Open Settings to define your timezone, publish time and default instructions.

The counter in the top-right shows your remaining article quota for the current billing cycle, so you always know how many slots you can still fill.

Schedule Keywords from Your Silos

Click Schedule keywords to open the keyword picker. You can browse your existing silos, see the monthly search volume for each keyword, and tick the ones you want to publish on. This is the fastest way to plan an entire content sprint in seconds.

Check the keywords you want, then click Add keywords at the bottom of the picker. Sorank will automatically place them into the next available calendar slots, following your schedule settings.

Configure Your Schedule Settings

To set up your automation rules, click Settings in the top bar of the Content Scheduler. This is where you define how the AI behaves for every scheduled slot:

• Timezone: set this to your target audience's region so articles go live when readers are most active.
• Publish Time: choose the specific time of day for your automated posts.
• Default Instructions: add custom, tailor-made guidelines the AI will follow for every scheduled article (for example: "Use a friendly tone, cite recent examples, avoid promotional language, and always mention our commitment to sustainability").
• Default Expert Mode: enable this to automatically apply your preferred tone, image styles and character settings to every scheduled slot.

Manual Article

The Manual Article mode is for when you want full control over each article: pick the keywords, tweak the settings, review the draft, edit the content and publish whenever you're ready. It's the best fit for pillar pages, one-off campaigns or any article that deserves a closer look before going live.

Your Articles Dashboard

When you open SEO Content > Articles, you'll see a list of all the articles you've generated. Each entry shows the target keyword, the generation status, the creation date, and the available actions.

From this dashboard, you can:

1. Generate Article, click the blue button in the top-right corner to open the article creation dialog and start a new batch.
2. Status, at a glance, see whether each article is Completed, pending, or already Published. Click the badge to filter the list.
3. Schedule, open the scheduling picker on any completed article to queue it for automatic publishing on a specific day and time.
4. Edit, open the full article editor to review, rewrite, and fine-tune the AI-generated content before sending it live.
5. Publish, push a completed article directly to your connected CMS in one click.
6. Published, once an article is live, the badge turns into a shortcut: click it to open the published article on your website in a new tab.

The counter in the top-right (e.g. 75 articles remaining) shows your remaining quota for the current billing cycle, so you can generate content at scale without worrying about running out.

Step 1: Start a New Article

Click the + Generate Article button in the top-right corner of the Articles page. This opens the Generate New Article dialog, where you'll configure everything before the AI starts writing.

Step 2: Add Your Target Keywords

The first thing you need to do is enter the keywords you want to target. Type a keyword into the input field and press Enter or click the + button to add it. Each keyword will generate one separate article.

You can add multiple keywords at once, meaning you can batch-generate dozens of articles in a single go. Once added, your keywords will appear as tags above the input field.

Import Keywords from Your Silos

If you've already set up keyword silos in the Keywords & Silos section, you don't need to type anything manually. Click the From silos button to browse your silos and pick keywords directly.

This opens a keyword picker where you can browse your silo structure, see search volumes, and select the keywords you want to write about. Check the ones you want, then click Add keywords to send them back to the article generator.

Step 3: Configure Article Settings

Below the keywords section, you have several options to customize how your articles will be generated.

Article Tone

Choose the writing style that matches your brand. The default is Professional, but you can switch to other tones depending on your audience and content strategy.

Let AI Generate Titles

When this checkbox is enabled, the AI will automatically create an optimized H1 title for each article based on competitor analysis and SEO best practices. If you prefer to control the title yourself, uncheck this option and a Title field will appear for each keyword where you can type your own.

Language per Keyword

Each keyword has its own language selector. This means you can generate articles in different languages within the same batch. For example, one article in French and another in English, all in one go.

Step 4: Configure Image Settings

Scroll down to the Image Settings section to control the AI-generated illustrations that will be included in your article.

• Image Tone controls the mood of the generated visuals (e.g. warm, clinical, vibrant). Set to "Auto" to let the AI decide based on the article topic.
• Image Style controls the artistic style (e.g. photorealistic, illustrated, minimalist). "Auto" works well for most use cases.
• Character Appearance (Optional) lets you describe how people should look if your article features them, helping you maintain visual consistency across your content.

Once everything is configured, click Generate Articles at the bottom. The counter will tell you how many articles will be created (e.g. "4 article(s) will be generated").

Step 5: Review and Edit Your Article

Once generation is complete, the article status will change to Completed. Click Edit to open the full article editor, where you can review every part of the AI-generated content before sending it live.

The editor is split into three working zones: the Competitor Analysis at the top, the Generated Meta Tags in the middle, and the Article Content at the bottom. You can navigate between them freely, and any change you make is saved as a draft until you publish.

Competitor Analysis

At the top of the editor, you'll find the Competitor Analysis section. This shows you exactly what the AI studied before writing your article, so you can audit the sources and double-check the data behind every recommendation.

• The All URLs dropdown shows which competitor pages were analyzed. You can filter to see the data from individual competitors.
• The Scraped data section reveals that the AI analyzed 6 competitor sites, scraped their H1, H2, H3 headings and meta descriptions to understand the content landscape and structure its article accordingly.

Generated Meta Tags

Below the competitor analysis, you'll see the generated SEO elements:

• Meta Title, optimized for length (shown with a character count and progress bar, e.g. 64/65 characters).
• Meta Description, a compelling summary targeting 120 to 165 characters for optimal display in search results.
• URL Slug, a clean, lowercase, hyphenated URL path ready for publishing.
• Cover Image, an AI-generated cover image tailored to your article topic.

All of these fields are editable. You can adjust anything before publishing, and a quick tweak here is often what makes the difference between a click and a scroll-past in the SERPs.

Edit your Article Content

The article body opens in a full rich-text editor built for SEO writers. You can rewrite any paragraph, restructure the outline, polish the tone or fact-check a claim, all directly inside the page, without ever leaving Sorank.

The toolbar above the content gives you everything you need to format the article exactly as you want it published:

• Text formatting: bold, italic, and inline links to add citations or internal links to your other pages.
• Heading levels: H1, H2 and H3 to keep a clean semantic structure that search engines can crawl.
• Lists: ordered and unordered lists to break down steps, features or comparisons.
• Inline images: insert additional visuals between paragraphs to illustrate a point or break up long sections.

Use the Edit / Preview toggle at the top of the editor to switch between the writing view and a clean reading view that mirrors how the article will look on your live site. When you're happy with the result, the Copy button exports the full content (HTML or plain text) so you can paste it anywhere outside Sorank.

Articles can be up to 100,000 characters long, which is more than enough room for in-depth pillar pages, comparison guides or long-form tutorials.

How to Change Images in Your Articles

Your articles come with AI-generated images, but you can easily customize them to match your brand or preferences. The cover image and inline images can be edited directly in the article editor.

For the cover image, simply hover over it and click the edit icon (pencil button) in the top-right corner to swap it out.

For all other images embedded within your article content, place your cursor in the text editor and delete them just as you would delete regular text: select the image and press delete.

Once removed, you can upload a new image using the image upload button in the formatting toolbar, or leave the space empty to let the AI-generated image serve as your article illustration.

Step 6: Publish to Your Website

Once you're happy with the article, you have two publishing options.

Publish Directly to Your CMS

From the Articles list, click the Publish button next to any completed article. If you haven't connected a CMS yet, you'll be prompted to do so. Click Connect your CMS and select your provider.

We currently support direct publishing to Webflow, Shopify, WordPress, Wix, and WordPress.com. Each provider has a setup guide linked directly from the connection dialog.

Once connected, publishing is one click. The article, its meta tags, images, and slug are all sent directly to your CMS.

Export Manually

If you prefer to publish manually or use a CMS we don't yet support, you can select articles from the list and use the Export button to download them.
