How it sells itself

Our app helps merchants create SEO-optimized blog articles using product data, saving time and boosting organic traffic. Ideal for stores of all sizes, it automates content creation, enhances SEO, and improves search rankings. Merchants can select single or multiple products to feature, ensuring flexibility and relevance.

Each run reads the live web first, then writes from what it found and lists the sources in the post, so you can check the facts yourself. It adds an image and fills your SEO title and description on paid plans. Before writing, it checks the title against your blog and skips anything too close, at no charge. Keep every post as a draft until you trust it, then switch to live.

Key points
  • Automated Blog Generation: Create SEO-optimized articles using product data.
  • AI-Powered Image Analysis: Generate descriptive text from product images.
  • Targeted Keyword Integration: Enhance SEO with strategically chosen keywords.
  • Researches every article with real, current web sources
  • Publishes as a native blog post, not an embedded iframe
  • Draft or live, your choice, on the blog you pick
  • Refreshes an existing post in place -- same URL, no duplicate
