How it sells itself

Nina is a done-for-you blog content service for Shopify stores. It researches your brand, writes SEO blog posts in your voice, and adds them to your Shopify blog as drafts for you to review. You review the first batch to set your voice. After that, editors copyedit every post before it reaches you. Nothing publishes automatically; every post arrives as a draft a person approves.

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
  • SEO blog posts written for your brand and voice
  • Every post delivered as a draft for you to review
  • Editors review and copyedit each post before it reaches you
  • Posts added to your Shopify blog, never published automatically
  • 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
