Sections

In the Sections you can generate outline will create close to 40 topics that you can include to guide your content structure.

These headings are created using related keywords, search intent and SERP data. They are NOT copied from other web pages or rephrased. 

They are created using concepts collected from SERP data infused with related keywords that can help you rank faster. Including as many RELEVANT ones from the list will improve your chances of ranking. 

These are high level outline headings and most content have subheadings that go under headings to expand upon the subject.

Method 1# Building Concepts from SERP – Default

generate concepts
Useful for: First time users, building guided paragraphs, getting data from SERP

Clicking Generate Concepts will find the best and the closest outline to the meaning behind your title and get all the content from the passages underneath and start building Concepts that you can create content around.

If you are new to Concepts, use the default method first to collect Concepts.

It is in some cases possible that Concepts was not able to collect any information from search engine ranking pages. In those situations, it will give you an alert. In this case you can also have an option to add you custom content to help and feed AI with your specific content.

It is also possible that sometimes the content you get from concepts might not be very relevant. In those cases you can delete each concept and use the second method to build concepts from.

Method 2# Building Concepts from custom content

Building Concepts from custom content

Useful for: Generating concepts from other web pages such as Amazon product pages, some existing briefs or notes, unstructured raw text or ideas, content from Product Reviews and almost any kind of text.

Click on the setting icon in the right corner of the concept screen and add any custom description up to 1800 characters, that is approximately 350 words

Using shorter text multiple times will generate more accurate Concepts output.

You then use the default concepts and just click Generate Concepts or you can follow Method#3 to fine tune your output for specific cases.

Method 3# Building Concepts with specific purpose by using templates

use templates to build concepts

Templates are a great way to extract concepts that can help you write specific sections of your concept. For example you can extract Concepts in form of benefits, disadvantages, features, steps in the current release. We will add many more templates based on user feedback and our product strategy.
