Step-by-Step Guide

1

Set Up Your Brand Profile

Navigate to Settings → Brand and create your brand profile. Enter your:

  • Brand name and website URL
  • Industry and target audience
  • Tone of voice (professional, casual, authoritative, etc.)
  • Key topics you want to cover

The AI uses this context for every piece of content it generates, ensuring consistent brand voice across all outputs.

Pro Tip
Upload your brand guidelines document if you have one. The AI will extract tone, terminology, and style preferences automatically.
2

Enter Your Topic & Keywords

Go to Create → Blog Post and enter your topic. The AI will:

  1. 1Research related keywords and search intent
  2. 2Analyse competitor content for the topic
  3. 3Suggest an optimised title and structure
  4. 4Show estimated search volume and difficulty

You can refine the suggestions or accept the AI's recommendation.

Generate Your Content

Click Generate and watch the AI create a complete blog post with:

  • SEO-optimised headings (H1, H2, H3 hierarchy)
  • Rich content blocks — not just paragraphs, but stats, quotes, lists, and more
  • Interactive components — quizzes, calculators, or comparison tools where relevant
  • Internal linking suggestions based on your existing content
  • Meta title and description ready for publishing

The generation typically takes 30–60 seconds for a 2,000-word article.

Review & Refine

The editor gives you full control to:

  • Edit any block — click to modify text, reorder sections, or delete blocks
  • Check SEO score — see real-time scoring with improvement suggestions
  • Validate links — automatic checking of all internal and external links
  • Adjust tone — regenerate specific sections with different style settings
  • Add blocks — insert additional content types (charts, tables, CTAs)
Always Review AI Content
While the AI produces high-quality output, always review for accuracy, brand alignment, and factual correctness before publishing.
5

Export & Publish

When you're happy with the content, export it:

  • Copy to Outstatic — publish directly to your blog with one click
  • Download as MDX — save the file with full component markup
  • Copy as Markdown — paste into any CMS or editor
  • Copy as HTML — for platforms that accept raw HTML

Your blog post is live, complete with interactive components, SEO metadata, and structured data — all from a single topic input.
