The problem it solves

Producing blog content that's actually optimized for search takes hours of keyword research, outlining, and writing before you even get to editing. You want AI to handle the heavy lifting, but you're not comfortable publishing anything without a human checking it first.

Who it fits

Content and SEO teams scaling blog production who still want a human check before publishing.

How it works

  1. The system finds high-opportunity keywords for your domain
  2. AI creates a content brief and then writes a full draft article
  3. You receive an email with the draft and an approve or reject button
  4. Your decision updates Google Sheets, and approved articles move on to publishing
What you get

Polished drafts waiting for your quick approval

You get keyword-backed article drafts delivered to your inbox with a simple approve button before anything goes live.

What you get

A reviewed, ready-to-publish article, with every keyword and decision tracked in Google Sheets.

What you need

A self-hosted automation instance, an SE Ranking API key, an Anthropic API key, and SMTP email credentials.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
