## Introduction to Article Engine

Welcome to Article Engine, your go-to solution for AI-driven content creation, designed to simplify the process of generating SEO-optimized articles. This tool supports you in crafting both regular articles and listicles, tailored to a broad spectrum of topics. This guide aims to walk you through the features of Article Engine, demonstrating how you can use it to produce content that not only engages your readers but also enhances your online visibility.

## Getting Started: How to Create Your Article

### Initiating Article Creation
Kickstart your article creation process by choosing one of the following methods:
- **Manual Entry:** If you already have a topic in mind, simply input the title yourself.
- **Automated Title Generation:** For those seeking inspiration or guidance, our title generation feature uses your keywords to suggest a variety of compelling titles.
- **[Content Factory](/content-factory):** Start with our automated keyword research tool. Enter your URL to receive 25 SEO title suggestions, perfectly personalized to drive traffic to your website.

### Humanize Content
Enhance the readability and rankability of your article with our industry leading Humanize Content feature, available for an additional credit. This service employs our specialized humanizing model to revise your article, ensuring the narrative is fluid, natural, mirrors a human writer's tone and passes AI Detection algorithms. This feature costs an additional credit becuase it requires additional processing through AI models.

Upon completion, we will assess the article using a reputable third-party AI detection tool to determine the human-likeness of the content. If it registers more than 50% as AI-generated, we will automatically refund the additional credit.

Keep in mind that AI detectors can sometimes produce false positives. They should not be your sole criterion for judging content quality. Instead, evaluate the content's engagement and informativeness to truly measure its value.

### Use Live Search Results
Increase the relevance and accuracy of your article by leveraging the Live Search Results feature. This feature can be activated for an additional credit, and allows Article Engine to pull the latest search results for your topic or keyword. Article Engine uses this information to inform the structure and makeup of the article, ensuring the generated content is up-to-date, well-informed, and ranks well on search engines.


### Article Type Selector
Using the selector you can choose from two different types of articles:
- A **regular** article like: "Conversion Rate Optimization Secrets of the Pros".
- Or a **listicle** type article like: "7 CRO Hacks to Double Your Conversions".
- When creating a listicle type article, its best to constrain the number of items to 20 or less.

### From Title to Article
With your title set, you have two paths:
- Move directly to generating your article's outline.
- Dive into advanced options to tailor your article's depth and focus further.

## Advanced Customization Features

### External Links
**Enhance your article's credibility** by including 3 to 5 links to reputable sources. This not only enriches your content but also boosts your SEO performance by linking to authoritative sites.



### Language
Article Engine supports an array of languages, enabling you to reach a global audience.

### Adding Internal Links

To boost your article's navigability and SEO, Article Engine can automatically insert 3 to 5 internal links. This process begins by analyzing your website's sitemap, a crucial step for identifying relevant internal pages that can be linked within your content. 

#### The Process of Segmenting Your Sitemap

**Segmentation** is key to effectively utilizing this feature. Here’s how it works:

<Image alt="Sitemap segments" className="rounded-sm shadow p-1 bg-muted block mx-auto mt-2 mb-16" src='/assets/images/segment-tabs.webp' width={305} height={65} />

- __Sitemap Analysis:__ The tool first requires access to your site's sitemap. This sitemap acts as a roadmap of all your website's pages, enabling Article Engine to understand the structure and content of your site.
- __Creating Segments:__ You can then segment this sitemap based on specific criteria, such as page type or content category. For example, if you want to link to blog posts, you could create a segment for URLs containing `/blog/`.

<Image alt="Sitemap segments" className="rounded-sm shadow p-1 bg-muted mx-auto shadow block mt-0 mb-16" src='/assets/images/segmentation-process.webp' width={777} height={78} />

- __Selecting Segments for Linking:__ Once your segments are defined, you choose which one you'd like to use for internal linking within your article. Article Engine will select pages from this segment, ensuring that the internal links are relevant and add value to your content.

This targeted approach not only enhances the user experience by providing relevant additional reading options but also strengthens your website's SEO by creating a well-interconnected content network. Please note, utilizing the internal linking feature will increase the article cost by 1 credit, but it's a valuable investment for improving your content's performance and visibility.


### Call to Action
Conclude your article by embedding a persuasive call to action (CTA) that flows naturally with the content, aiming to boost reader engagement or prompt a specific response. Simply specify the details of your desired CTA, and Article Engine will skillfully weave it into the end of your article, making it a coherent and effective part of your message.


### Custom Instructions / Additional Info
Provide specific instructions for Article Engine to include in the article. A good example would be to request the inclusion of a specific service or product you want to promote. These instructions help guide the AI in crafting content that aligns with your goals and objectives. Here is a sample of how you can provide custom instructions:
