The step-by-step article generator is ideal for having full control over the article generating process. Here are 3 key benefits to generating article via
Step-by-step we can optimize for SEO, manage our keywords, titles, outlines and more.
For each step we can analyze top Google results to easily build top quality content with AI.
We can even control fine details for every single section. With custom instructions, talking points and even file & URL research capabilities, we can create any type of fact-based article you can imagine.
Accessing the Article Wizard
The single article generator is available within any Shopia document. There are a number of ways to access the step-by-step article generator:
In an existing document
Click on the 'workflows' tab on the left. From the templates click 'Article writer wizard':
From the dashboard - Creating a new document
From the left menu click on 'New'. You can then select 'Article Wizard' from the New Document options:
Step 1 - SEO report
The benefits
Creating an SEO report before generating your article has 3 core benefits:
Shopia will automatically find NLP terms, links & more for optimization.
Access additional tools in the next steps that combine high ranking Google data & AI.
Access optimization guidelines and tools once your article is generated.
How it works
From the first step of the article writer you can optionally generate an SEO report. You simply add a focus keyword - the main search term in Google you would like this article to rank for.
💡 If you want to reduce the processing time you can disable ‘auto select top results’ and choose less pages to analyze.
Step 2 - Context - defining your article
In this step we will define the key details and settings for our article. In this example we can see the description, writing style and keywords have been automatically generated from the previous step:
💡 We recommend turning on ‘External Linking’ - Shopia can fact check across the internet before writing. Shopia will determine key questions needed to write each section.
💡 We recommend setting model type to 'Quality' - this will not only improve writing quality, but formatting, addition of external links & more. It will however take significantly longer to generate your article.
Article description
The description is the only required field on the context step.
Here we will define the key details about the article we want to create.
It can be added in 3 ways:
1 - Auto generated from the previous SEO step:
Make sure the ‘generate description’ step was enabled before generating your report.
2 - Manually
Simply type in or paste your description.
3 - Rewrite from example article
Click ‘extract with article rewriter’ in the top-right and add an example URL:
We then add an example URL and click ‘Import’:
We can see Shopia has extracted the key details from the article:
Advanced controls
You can find further controls under the advanced options, such as meta-data generation and letting Shopia auto-create an outline draft for you:
Once you’re ready, click ‘Next: Title’ to continue to the next step.
Step 3 - Title
Here we can add our article title on the left. On the right we can view AI suggestions or view Google results:
Using an AI suggestion
We can simply click on a suggestion:
We can then edit our title before continuing
Rewriting a title based on top Google results
Click on the ‘top ranking titles’ tab:
Click on any title. Shopia will rewrite this title based on the keyword data from the headers of the analyzed Google results. In this example we will click on the top result:
Your new title will appear on the left:
Step 4 - Outline
The outline step works similar to the title step. We have our outline on the left and we have AI suggestions and SEO data on the right:
Sections - adding talking points and custom instructions
Click '+ add talking points & instructions' to add specific details to each section. You have full control over each section with custom instructions. You can also add URLs and files to each section for Shopia to read before generating:
Generating and optimizing your article
Once you’re ready click ‘GENERATE ARTICLE’. It will take a moment to return the first section to the document text editor. You can then use multiple tools to continue editing and optimizing your article:
