AI Article Generation

Rankspiral generates long-form, SEO-optimized articles that are structured to rank on both traditional search engines and AI-powered search like ChatGPT and Perplexity.

The Generation Pipeline

Every article goes through a multi-stage pipeline:

1. Research

Before writing a single word, Rankspiral researches the topic:

Analyzes search intent (informational, commercial, comparison, listicle)
Finds semantic keywords and related terms
Gathers "People Also Ask" questions
Identifies what's currently ranking for the keyword

2. Outline

Based on the research, an outline is generated with:

SEO-optimized title
Structured sections with subheadings
Key points for each section
Estimated word counts per section
Content format tailored to search intent

If Outline Review is enabled on your project, you can edit the outline before the article is written. This is useful if you want to guide the structure.

3. Writing

The article is written section-by-section, not all at once. This produces better quality because each section gets full context and attention. The writing includes:

Natural, human-like prose in your configured tone
External links to authoritative sources
Proper heading hierarchy (H2, H3, H4)
Lists, tables, and formatting where appropriate

4. Images

Rankspiral generates a featured image and up to 2 section images. You can choose from several image styles: flat minimal, photorealistic, illustrated, dark cinematic, or watercolor.

5. Post-Processing

After writing, Rankspiral automatically:

Generates meta title and description
Runs Retrolink to find internal linking opportunities across your existing content

Article Statuses

Each article moves through these statuses:

Draft — Created but not yet generated
Outline — Outline generated, waiting for review (if enabled)
Writing — Article is being written
Review — Article is complete and ready for your review
Published — Sent to your CMS

Editing

Every article can be edited in the built-in rich text editor. You can change headings, add links, insert images, and rewrite sections. The editor auto-saves as you type and includes AI-powered inline editing tools for quick improvements.
