Create an article outline

Plan an article section by section — goals, keywords and a word budget for each — from a brief or from a keyword alone.

Antes de começar

  • A project, and enough credits for an outline (the button shows the cost).

  • Optional: a content brief to start from — see Create a content brief.

Etapas

  1. Etapa 1: Open the outline form

    Go to Planning and, under The usual path, choose Article outline — or choose Create outline on a finished brief (the brief is then preselected).

  2. Etapa 2: Set up the outline

    Under Outline setup:

    • Project.
    • Start from a brief — pick one, or choose No brief — start from a keyword.
    • Target keyword — required when no brief is picked.
    • Working title, Language, Target country and Target length.

  3. Etapa 3: Create the outline

    Choose Create outline for … credits. Once confirmed it cannot be stopped; a failure is refunded automatically one hour later.

  4. Etapa 4: Write the article

    Open the finished outline and choose Generate article. The article form opens with the outline selected, so the draft follows its sections and word budget.

O que você verá

The outline is saved under Planning. An article built from it follows the outline’s structure and inherits its research and search intent.

Solução de problemas

“Enter a target keyword, or pick a brief.”

An outline needs one of the two. Pick a brief in Start from a brief, or type a Target keyword.

The article form refuses my length when building from an outline

Your plan caps article length. Choose a shorter Target length or Auto on the article form.
