Generate Articles

Create one or more SEO articles with your writing and image settings. Manual Article mode is designed for moments when you want full control over each article: choosing keywords, adjusting settings, reviewing the draft, editing the content and publishing when you are ready. It is the ideal option for pillar pages, one-off campaigns or any article that deserves careful review before going live.

​

Your Articles dashboard

When you open SEO Content > Articles, you see the list of all the articles you have generated. Each entry shows the target keyword, generation status, creation date and available actions. From this dashboard you can:

1. Generate Article: click the blue button in the top right corner to open the article creation window 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 and publish it automatically on a specific day and time.
4. Edit: open the full article editor to review, rewrite and refine the AI-generated content before it goes live.
5. Publish: send a completed article directly to your connected CMS in one click.
6. Published: once the article is live, the badge becomes a shortcut: click it to open the published article on your site in a new tab.

The counter in the top right corner (for example 75 articles remaining) shows your remaining quota for the current billing cycle, so you can decide the size of your next batch.

​

Step 1: Create a new article

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

​

Step 2: Add your target keywords

The first thing to do is enter the keywords you want to target. Type a keyword in the input field and press Enter or click the + button to add it. Each keyword generates a separate article. You can add multiple keywords at once, allowing you to generate dozens of articles in a single batch. Once added, your keywords appear as tags above the input field.

​

Import keywords from your silos

If you have already set up keyword silos in the Keywords & Silos section, you do not need to type anything manually. Click the From silos button to browse your silos and select keywords directly. This opens a keyword selector where you can browse your silo structure, check search volumes and choose the keywords you want to work with. Check the ones you are interested in, 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 customise 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 box is checked, the AI automatically creates an optimised H1 title for each article, based on competitive analysis and SEO best practices. If you prefer to manage the title yourself, uncheck this option: a Title field then appears for each keyword, where you can enter your own.

​

Language per Keyword

Each keyword has its own language selector. This lets you 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 (for example warm, clinical, vibrant). Set to “Auto” to let the AI decide based on the article topic.
• Image Style: controls the artistic style (for example photorealistic, illustrated, minimalist). “Auto” works well in most cases.
• Character Appearance (Optional): lets you describe the appearance of people featured in your article, which helps maintain visual consistency across all your content.

Once everything is configured, click Generate Articles at the bottom. The counter tells you how many articles will be created (for example “4 article(s) will be generated”). Watch the video

Using your own images

When the image library is available on your account, open it from the site or generation image settings. Upload the visuals you want to use in your articles. The remaining capacity and accepted formats are displayed in the library. Choose the mode that suits your needs: Customise your illustrations with your brand visuals and image guidelines. These settings apply to upcoming generations.

1. Images in the settings menu.
2. Manage gallery to upload your visuals.
3. Default image source.
4. Article cover type.

1. Brand identity in the settings menu.
2. Enter your brand color, or leave it empty.
3. Save color.

​

Setting up the call to action

The Include a call to action setting adds a closing section that introduces your brand and directs the reader to your site. Sorank automatically chooses the destination link: a relevant commercial page on your site when one is available, or your homepage. You can enable or disable this section and customise its heading. If you leave the heading blank, the AI chooses the wording. Disabling the call to action also disables the site screenshots associated with that presentation.

1. Include a conclusion.
2. Include a call to action.
3. Default call-to-action title. Leave it blank to let the AI choose.
4. Homepage screenshot.
5. Replace image to upload your own 16:9 screenshot.

The call to action is separate from internal linking: it presents your offer at the end of the article, while internal links support the topic throughout the body of the text.

​

Generating multiple articles

Add multiple keywords to create a batch: each keyword corresponds to one article. The number of available generations depends on the site quota. See the editorial strategy to choose your topics and credits and quotas to understand the counter.

​

Which settings are carried over automatically?

The form carries over the site writing settings, including instructions, tone, images and the call to action. You can adjust them for the generation you are preparing. This customisation does not replace the shared settings used by other articles. Example: you normally use a professional tone, but want a more educational guide. Change the tone for this generation; other topics continue to use their own settings or the site settings.

​

Importing visuals into the gallery

From Image Gallery, open Manage Gallery, then Import Images. Add JPEG, PNG or WebP files. The counter shows the space used and the available capacity. Images are prepared before they become usable in articles.

1. Choose the default image source.
2. Import images (JPEG, PNG or WebP).
3. Save choice.

Choose the image source you want, then click Save choice. You can keep this choice as the site setting or use Image source for this article to customise a single generation. Example: choose Gallery only to use exclusively your product photos. Choose Gallery, then AI to use your photos and fill in any remaining illustrations with AI. Changing the image source or deleting an image from the gallery affects future uses. Articles that have already been created keep their current images.

​

Cover image and body illustrations

The image source and the cover style are two separate settings. The source indicates where the visuals come from. The cover setting lets you choose between an AI or gallery image or a Cover with written title. The cover with written title embeds the article title in the visual. Cover styles are used to maintain a consistent presentation for upcoming articles. Changing a style does not automatically replace the covers of articles that have already been created.

​

What happens after generation?

The article appears in your list and its status shows the generation progress. Once complete, its content is available in the editor. You can keep it in Sorank, customise it, publish it, schedule it or export it. Generating an article from this form creates its content. Going live then depends on the publish action or scheduling option you choose. To automate both the generation and publication of a series, use the editorial calendar.
