Three tools in one

The map decides which pages to write. Each brief is created from a page of the map, and each article from its brief.

Topical map generator

Fill in five short fields about the business. The tool pulls competitor keywords, search volume and live search results for your country, groups keywords that share the same search results into one page and gives every page a priority score. Core pages bring customers, outer pages build trust. Edit the map, then export it to Excel.

Content briefs

Pick any page on the map and click "Create brief". Every brief has four parts: Brief (the headings and what to cover under each), Meta (title, description and URL slug), FAQs and Glossary, with suggested internal links. Edit it, then export it to Word.

See how a brief is made

Article writer

Send the brief to the writer and five passes run one after another: research, draft, SEO review, critical review and a final quality check. Review notes sit beside the text. Regenerate a single section and keep the rest, then export to Word.

Features

Research, grouping, scoring, briefs and articles happen in one tool, in that order. You fill in one form and review the result.

From form to plan

One form in. A whole content plan out.

Tell the tool about the business. It researches competitor keywords, search volume and live search results, then builds the map, the briefs and the articles from them.
