AutoSEO writes one article a day per brand and delivers it to your site. The topics are not invented: they come from your own keyword gaps where real search demand exists and you have no page in the top 20, from tracked prompts where none of the six engines cite you, and from themes in the pages engines already cite. Every topic shows the numbers that earned it a place, so you can judge the pick before a word is written. Articles arrive as drafts by default and nothing goes live without you. This guide covers connecting a destination, turning the daily run on, planning topics on the calendar, and editing an article before or after it ships.
1. Connect a destination that matches your stack
Open AutoSEO and pick where articles should land. WordPress and Shopify take drafts you review. GitHub commits Markdown, for sites that build from files. Webhook posts the article to your own endpoint, for everything else.
Choose by how your site is built, not by which name is most familiar. Each destination guide names its assumption in the first paragraph, and picking wrong is silent: GitHub will happily commit Markdown to an app that serves from a database, report success, and publish nothing.
2. Turn on the daily article
Switch on Daily article. Connecting a destination does not start anything by itself, and a queue with automation off never drains. This is the most common reason a correct setup produces no articles.
One article per brand per day is the cap, counted on the UTC calendar day the article is delivered. Each one uses a unit from your monthly article allowance.
3. Choose draft or publish
Review as drafts is the default and the recommendation: articles wait in your CMS until you press Publish. Publish automatically puts each article live as it is written.
GitHub has no such switch, and the interface says so, because a committed file goes live when your own build decides.
4. Fill and rank the topic queue
Press Refresh suggestions to rebuild the queue from data already in your workspace. It costs nothing and calls no vendor. Topics are ranked by opportunity, and the top one is written first.
Add your own topic in your own words at any time, or send a specific keyword over from the Keywords tab. Skip anything you do not want written; a skipped topic is not suggested again.
5. Plan the month on the calendar
Switch the queue card to Calendar to see what has been written and what is booked next. Drag a topic onto a day, or use the date field on any topic, and it will be written on that day and not before it.
Unscheduled topics keep flowing in queue order on any day nothing is booked, so you only need to schedule the pieces that are genuinely time-sensitive: a launch, an event, a seasonal question.
6. Read and edit before it ships
Every article with a stored body has an Open button in the history. The Read view shows the article as delivered, including the search snippet: the meta title and description that never appear in the body. The Edit view lets you rewrite the title, intro, sections and FAQs, reorder or delete sections, and fix the meta.
Save writes your changes to Cituna alone. A separate Update button pushes them to your site, overwriting that post. The two are deliberately separate so a save can never overwrite an edit you made in WordPress without asking.
Troubleshooting
Everything is connected but no articles are being written.
Check three things in order: Daily article is switched on, the destination shows Connected, and the queue is not empty. If the queue is full of topics booked for future dates, the daily run correctly writes nothing today, and the Next up card says so and offers to write one early.
Can I get more than one article a day?
The automatic run is capped at one per brand per day. You can press Generate now for up to two manual articles per brand per day on top of the schedule, within your monthly allowance. Tracking more brands is the supported way to increase volume.
An article failed to deliver. Do I lose the allowance?
No. The written draft is kept and the next run retries delivering that exact article rather than generating a new one, so a broken connection costs you nothing from the generation allowance. Fix the connection and it goes out on the next run, or push it yourself from the article.
Does editing an article change its URL?
No. The slug is fixed when the article is first delivered and is never re-derived from an edited title, because it is the article identity at the destination. Retitle freely; the published page stays at the same address.
