Turn Keywords Into Publish-Ready Content, Using One Automated Workflow

step 1

Brand Context & Input

Brand Context & Input

The workflow starts with your target keyword and content prompt, combined with your Brand Kit, containing company profile, writing guidelines, and author persona. Every output begins brand-aligned.

step 2

Keyword Intelligence

Keyword Intelligence

Slate pulls search volume and intent for your target keyword, then maps the related terms and questions people ask around it. You see which secondary keywords belong on this page and which ones deserve a piece of their own.

step 3

Competitive Research

Competitive Research

Agents read the pages ranking on Google and the sources AI engines cite for the same query. They map the subtopics each competitor covers and flag the gaps your page can own.

step 4

Optimization Brief

Optimization Brief

Keyword data and competitor gaps come together in one brief. It sets the outline, headings, entities to cover and internal links to add, so the writer starts with a clear plan to rank and get cited.

step 5

Content Update & Deep Research 

Content Update & Deep Research 

For existing pages, Slate rewrites the sections that fall short of the brief and keeps what's already performing. Deep research adds fresh stats and cited sources, with every claim linked back to where it came from.

step 6

Review & Publish
