The auto-blog engine

One keyword in. A finished, on-brand article out.

Every article moves through six automated stages, stops once for your approval, then publishes straight into your blog.

  1. 01

    Research

    Live web search, the pages already ranking, and your brand facts. Every fact gets a numbered source.

  2. 02

    Writing

    The full article in your voice, structured for search and for AI answers.

  3. 03

    Humanize

    A polish pass that removes robotic phrasing. Facts stay exactly as they were.

  4. 04

    Review

    An AI editor checks facts, brand safety and E-E-A-T. Fixable issues go back for a rewrite.

  5. 05

    Optimize

    Title, meta, answer summary, FAQ, keywords, internal links and schema markup.

  6. ✓

    You approve

    Read it, edit inline, pick the title, set the author. Nothing goes out without you.

  7. 06

    Publish

    Sent to your blog, correctly formatted, with images and structured data.

Self-correcting

If review finds a fixable issue, the draft goes back to writing and tries again, up to 3 times to keep cost in check.

One human gate

Everything before approval is automatic. Publishing is always your call.

Every cent tracked

The exact AI cost of each article is recorded and shown on the review screen.

Powered by your own data

Your data in. Ranked articles out.

Connect your own Search Console, and optionally DataForSEO and Google Trends. The engine uses them to pick topics people actually search for, write what the ranking pages miss, and track every article afterwards. Your accounts stay yours.

The opportunity

Content wins customers. Producing it well is slow and expensive.

  1. 01The shiftBuyers get answers from ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews as well as search. Being the source those answers quote is the new top of the funnel.
  2. 02The cost todayA quality article means an agency at $150–$500 and days of turnaround, or scarce in-house time. Both cap how much you can publish.
  3. 03The trapCheap AI content that reads robotic or invents facts hurts rankings and trust. The hard part isn't writing, it's writing credibly, safely and at volume.
The answer

An engine that produces genuinely helpful, sourced, fact-checked articles in your voice, with one human approval so nothing risky ever publishes. Quality and volume, without the agency bill.

Quality and brand safety

Safe to automate: a strict review gate and your sign-off.

Cheap AI content is a brand risk. Every article has to clear these checks before it even reaches your approval screen.

Factuality

Flags and blocks invented facts, made-up statistics and fake quotes.

No false claims

A hard block-list stops unsupported claims: certifications, uptime, awards, ratings, customer counts.

E-E-A-T

Rewards real experience, expertise and helpfulness, which is what Google ranks.

Human voice

A dedicated pass strips the phrasing that makes text read as AI-written.

The human gate

Only articles that pass every check reach you. Read it, edit inline, swap the title, add images and set the author, then approve. Nothing is ever published automatically.

It finds its own work

A weekly rhythm, with guardrails.

Add keywords whenever you like. On top of that, the engine runs on a schedule, always inside hard cost and volume limits.

Where it earns its keep

One engine, six jobs it takes off your plate.

  • 01

    SEO blog content

    Consistent, ranking-focused articles on the topics your buyers search for, without agency lead times.

  • 02

    AI citations

    Structured, sourced answers written to be quoted by ChatGPT, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews.

  • 03

    Search-gap filling

    Spots the questions you almost rank for and drafts the content to capture them.

  • 04

    Content refresh

    Catches articles losing position and flags them for an update before traffic slips.

  • 05

    Scale without headcount

    Go from a few posts a month to a steady cadence, with the same one reviewer.

  • 06

    Product-led education

    Useful guides that mention your product once, naturally. Educational, never an ad.

Buyers stopped searching. They ask.

And they trust the first answer.

Search changed

Ten blue links became one AI answer.

Ranking fourth still earned a click. In an AI answer, if you aren't named, you aren't considered.

Questions, answered

What is Answer Engine Optimization?+

AEO is the practice of making your content the source AI assistants quote when they answer a question. Where SEO targets ranked links, AEO targets the answer itself.

Which AI engines do you track?+

ChatGPT and Claude today, with Perplexity, Gemini, Copilot and Google AI Overviews coming next. You choose which engines each prompt runs on.

Does it publish automatically, or do I approve each article?+

No. The engine researches, writes, polishes and reviews each article on its own, then waits for someone on your team to approve it. On the review screen you can edit inline, pick the title, add images and set the author. Approve, and it's sent to the blog you connected. Nothing is ever published automatically.

How is spend controlled?+

Each plan includes a monthly generation budget, and every site has its own caps. Work stops at the limit unless you explicitly allow overage, with a cap you set.

Can I manage several websites or clients?+

Yes. An organization holds many sites, each with its own brand knowledge, prompts, pipeline, integrations and role-based access.

Track.Understand.Get cited.

Be the answer your buyers get.

Set up your first site in about ten minutes. Nothing runs or spends until you turn it on.
