Single Post Generation Process & SEO Optimization Stages

1. Overview #

The Single Post Generation page is designed to create an individual article on demand. There are two main modes:

• Standard Mode: Generates a concise article for general posts.
• Longread Mode: Generates an extended, in‐depth article (20K–100K characters) available exclusively in single post generation.
  Note: Longread mode is only supported for single post generation and only with compatible AI models.

This documentation covers the step-by-step process involved in generating a post, along with the SEO optimization measures taken to enhance your content’s online visibility.

2. Generation Process Stages #

The single post generation process is divided into several key stages, each represented by an icon on the interface. These stages not only help you visualize progress in real time but also ensure that the final output meets quality and SEO standards.

Stage 1: Keyword Generation #

• Purpose:
  The process begins with extracting or generating relevant keywords from your post topic and category.
• Impact:
  Keywords form the backbone of your content, guiding the article’s tone and focus, as well as improving SEO.
• Indicator:
  An icon representing a magnifying glass (or similar) will display as “pending” until the process completes.

Stage 2: Content Creation #

• Purpose:
  The core content of the article is generated based on the provided post topic, global settings (format, text length, writing style, target audience, etc.), and any additional requests.
• Differences by Mode:
  • Standard Mode: Creates a short, concise article.
  • Longread Mode: Produces a detailed, extended article suitable for in-depth analysis.
• Indicator:
  An icon (typically depicting a pen or text) shows progress for content generation.

Stage 3: Additional Images Generation #

• Purpose:
  If enabled, additional images are fetched or generated to complement your article.
• Customization:
  The number of additional images is controlled by a slider (in Longread Mode or via global settings).
• Impact:
  Supplementary visuals enhance reader engagement and contribute to SEO by offering more alt text opportunities.
• Indicator:
  An image-related icon (e.g., a small picture or gallery symbol) represents this stage.

Stage 4: Featured Image Selection #

• Purpose:
  The system determines a featured image to visually represent your article on the blog or website.
• Impact:
  A strong featured image not only improves click-through rates but also aids SEO and overall page aesthetics.
• Indicator:
  An icon (typically a star or highlighted image) indicates the featured image selection.

Stage 5: SEO Optimization #

• Purpose:
  Multiple SEO enhancements are applied during the generation process:
  • ALT Text Generation: Automatically creates alt texts for images.
  • Headlines & Subheadings: Ensures that the article is structured with clear headings.
  • Internal Linking Suggestions: May include recommendations for linking to related articles.
• Impact:
  These measures help improve search engine rankings, making your content more discoverable.
• Indicator:
  An icon representing a rising graph or similar SEO symbol is used to depict this stage.

Stage 6: Finalization #

• Purpose:
  Once all previous stages are complete, the final article is compiled and formatted.
• Preview:
  A preview is displayed so you can review the generated content before proceeding.
• Post-Processing:
  This includes any last-minute text formatting such as bold or italic styling (converted from markdown-like syntax to HTML) to ensure that the content appears polished.
• Indicator:
  A “Done” icon (usually a checkmark) signals the completion of the process.

3. Real-Time Progress Tracking #

During the generation process, a progress bar displays the status of each stage. The stages change color from “pending” to “complete” as they finish. Additionally, a timer shows the elapsed time from the beginning of generation until completion.

4. SEO Optimization Details #

SEO is woven throughout the entire process:

• Keyword Integration:
  Proper keyword selection at the very start sets the foundation for content relevance and SEO.
• Structured Content:
  The AI generates clear, organized content with appropriate headings and subheadings, making it easier for search engines to index your article.
• Image Alt Texts:
  Alt texts are automatically generated for all images, ensuring that visual content contributes to SEO.
• Internal Linking & Meta Descriptions:
  Recommendations for internal links and a concise meta description can be derived from the content to further boost SEO performance.

The interface also displays an Estimated Cost card that factors in your chosen settings—including text length, additional images, and more—to give you an idea of the generation cost. This helps in balancing between content quality and budget.

5. Summary #
