Key features
Create Pages
- Pages from your own data
- Each page is built from one row of a dataset, such as products and their rivals, or cities and services, so the facts come from your data rather than the AI.
- Template blocks
- Templates mix fixed text with placeholder variables, AI text and AI images generated with OpenAI, regular images and comparison tables.
- Conditional content
- Conditional blocks, including conditional AI text, appear only when a row meets a condition, so pages differ by more than a swapped name.
- One-click generation
- Generates a page for every row in the data source, from 2,000 articles per template on Starter to no limit on Unlimited.
- WordPress, HTML or Markdown
- A WordPress plugin syncs the generated pages to your site, and other CMSs can take the pages as HTML or Markdown files.
- Free generators
- Free tools build CSVs of product comparisons and alternative product listings, and archive or directory pages from product data.
SEO Content Machine
- Site and Search Console import
- Scans every page of a site and lines up each page's status with its Search Console clicks and trend, to spot pages to update or topics to cover.
- Planning agent
- A chat agent reads the site and recent search demand and proposes new pages and refreshes for a goal you describe.
- Editable site plan
- Lays out main pages and their supporting pages as a topic tree, including service and location page grids for local sites.
- Drafting and WordPress publishing
- Creates drafts for the selected pages and publishes them to WordPress, or hands them off for review.
- Results beside publish dates
- Shows when each page was published or refreshed next to its later clicks and average position.
- Scraping, clustering and API
- Includes content scraping, keyword clustering and task chaining for bulk work, with an API for automation.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
