Once your article is ready – whether you've edited it or not – you can publish it manually to any CMS or automatically through a connected integration. This section explains how publishing works in RankPill.
Important: Scheduling an article in the calendar does not automatically publish it unless you've connected a CMS via the Integrations page. If no integration is set up, you'll still need to copy and publish your article manually.
Manual Publishing
You can publish to any platform by copying your article out of RankPill. Here's what you need to do:
- Click "Copy as" in the editor toolbar.
- Choose the format: Rich Text, HTML, or Markdown.
- Paste it into your CMS editor.
- Manually copy over the title, slug, and meta description from the sidebar (these are important for SEO!).
Tip: After pasting, double-check spacing, link formatting, and embeds – some platforms may need minor tweaks.
Auto-Publishing
Connect your CMS to RankPill to publish articles automatically, without copy-pasting. You can see all available CMS integrations and connect your site on the Settings → Integrations page.
Once connected, you can publish directly from the editor:
- Choose draft or live status for your article.
- Schedule it for a future date via the calendar.
- Automatically push SEO metadata (title, description, slug) and CTAs.
