Generate, Edit & Publish 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.

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 here, you can:

• Filter by status to quickly find completed, pending, or published articles.
• Export or Delete articles in bulk by selecting them with the checkboxes.
• Edit any completed article to fine-tune it before publishing.
• Publish a completed article directly to your connected CMS.

You have a quota of 75 articles per billing cycle (shown in the top-right corner), 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 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.

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.

Step 7: Automation and Content Scheduling

For those who want to scale their content without the daily manual work, Sorank offers a "hands-free" system via the Content Scheduler. This feature allows you to plan out dozens of articles in advance and let the AI handle the writing and publishing on autopilot.

Batch Scheduling from Silos

1. Go to the Content Scheduler
2. Click Schedule keywords.
3. Instead of typing manually, click From silos to open the keyword picker.
4. Select entire clusters or specific keywords (e.g., "AI Search Optimization").
5. Click the Add keywords button at the bottom.

Sorank will automatically populate your upcoming calendar slots with these keywords. The AI will then generate and publish them according to your schedule, using the custom instructions you provided.

‍

Configure Your Settings

To set up your automation rules, navigate to SEO Articles > Content Scheduler > Settings. This is where you define how the AI behaves for every scheduled slot:

• Timezone: Set this to your target audience’s region to ensure articles go live when they are most active.
• Publish Time: Choose the specific time of day for your automated posts.
• Default Instructions: This is where you add custom, tailor-made information. You can provide specific guidelines that the AI will follow for every article generated in the scheduler (e.g., "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.
