Overview

The SEO Content Writer turns briefs in your content project into publish-ready articles. It leads with an extractable answer for search and answer engines, structures clear headings around the target keyword, links to your existing content, and grounds claims in your real work. Drafts land in Documents for review before anything publishes.

What it does

What it takes off your plate.

Brief and keyword intake

Reads the brief and target keyword, confirms search intent, and builds an H2/H3 outline before drafting.

On-page drafting

Writes the full draft with a keyword-aligned title, meta description, intro, and structured headings.

Answer-first structure

Adds an extractable answer block and clear definitions so answer engines and featured snippets can quote it.

Internal linking

Links the draft to related existing documents with descriptive anchors, and adds one clear next step.

Edit and fact-check

Tightens the draft, removes filler, verifies facts with web search, and flags thin sections for review.

On-voice and grounded

Matches the brand voice from your published documents, and grounds examples in real projects and client work.

Example tasks

Things you can hand it.

  • Draft the next queued article in our content project.
  • Write a 1,500-word article on the target keyword in this brief.
  • Add an answer-first intro and a short FAQ to this draft.
  • Find related posts to link from this article and add the anchors.
  • Write an SEO title and meta description for this draft.
  • Rewrite this section to read answer-first for featured snippets.
  • Fact-check the stats in this draft and note the sources.
  • Give me two headline options for this article.
  • List every brief in the content project that's missing detail.
  • Turn these call notes into a how-to article on brand voice.
How it works

Connect once, then read Slack.

  1. 1

    Connect

    We set the agent up on your content project and existing documents, and connect WordPress if you want it to publish.

  2. 2

    Brief

    It reads each brief for the target keyword, intent, and outline, and confirms the angle before writing.

  3. 3

    Draft

    It writes the article answer-first, structures the headings around the keyword, and links to your existing content.

  4. 4

    Review

    It leaves the draft in Documents with headline options and flagged thin sections, and posts the queue to Slack.

Tiers

Start where you're comfortable.

Same agent, three levels of control. Moving up is a settings change, not a new setup.

QA

The agent drafts; your team edits and publishes.

  • Read access to your content project, briefs, and existing documents.
  • Full article drafts written into Documents.
  • Two headline options and flagged thin sections per draft.

Managed

The agent works the queue on a schedule.

  • Everything in QA.
  • A weekly draft queue from the briefs in your content project.
  • A Slack summary of what's ready to review.

Full

The agent drafts and, once approved, publishes.

  • Everything in Managed.
  • Publishes approved drafts to a connected WordPress site.
  • Sets the title, excerpt, and internal links on publish.
FAQ

Common questions.

What do I need to get started?

A Helm workspace with a content project and briefs to write from, and a Slack channel for the draft queue. To publish on the Full tier, connect a WordPress site.

Does it publish on its own?

Only on the Full tier, to a connected WordPress site, and only after you approve. On QA and Managed it drafts into Documents and waits for a human to review and publish.

How does it keep content from sounding generic?

It grounds examples in your real projects and client work, matches the brand voice from your published documents, and flags any section that's thin or unverified. It never fabricates statistics, quotes, or sources.

What does answer-first structure mean?

It puts a direct, self-contained answer near the top of each article so search engines and answer engines can extract it, then expands with structured sections, a short FAQ where it fits, and clear definitions.

How is this different from the Content Strategist agent?

The Content Strategist plans the calendar, enforces brand voice, and drafts across blog, social, and client content. The SEO Content Writer is focused on turning briefs into publish-ready, search-optimized articles. Many teams run the strategist to plan and the writer to execute.
