Welcome aboard! Your initial keyword research is complete, and you're just a click away from generating SEO-ready content. Here's a quick guide to get the most out of RankPill.
1. Explore Your Keyword List
This is your starting point. After onboarding, RankPill provides a personalized list of keyword ideas tailored to your business, niche, and competitors – all enriched with real-time SEO data.
Navigate to the Keywords tab. Here you'll find:
- Keywords grouped by filters like High Opportunity, Low Difficulty, etc.
- Key metrics for each keyword: Difficulty, Search Volume, CPC, and Search Intent.
- A Generate Article button next to every keyword.
Tip: If you're short on time or unsure where to start, use the High Opportunity filter. These keywords generally offer a good balance of search volume and lower competition, making them great starting points.
2. Choose Your First Keyword
There are two main strategies for selecting keywords, depending on your immediate goals:
Option A: Pick Keywords Directly Related to Your Business
Select terms that clearly reflect your core products, services, or main audience topics. Examples:
- If you sell Notion templates, target keywords like "best Notion templates".
- If you offer an AI SEO tool, target "AI SEO tools".
- If you run an ecommerce agency, target "Shopify store setup".
These high-relevance keywords help build topical authority. However, they can be more competitive, especially for newer websites. Ranking may take time, but consistently publishing content around these core themes builds long-term visibility.
Option B: Pick Keywords with High Opportunity
Use the High Opportunity filter to find keywords that are generally easier to rank for, helping you build initial SEO momentum. These keywords typically are:
- Longer and more specific (long-tail keywords).
- Lower in individual search volume but easier to rank for.
- Still relevant to your target audience.
- Excellent for newer sites or achieving faster traffic gains.
Ranking for several "High Opportunity" keywords can drive significant traffic and build the authority needed to rank for more competitive terms later.
What We Recommend: A Mixed Approach
Combine both strategies for the best results:
- Use Core Business Keywords to establish relevance and authority with search engines over time.
- Use High Opportunity Keywords to gain early traction, attract initial traffic, and build domain authority faster.
This balanced approach supports both immediate progress and long-term growth.
3. Generate Your Article
Once you've chosen a keyword, simply click Generate Article.
RankPill then executes a complex process automatically:
- Analyzes the current top-ranking content for your keyword (SERP analysis).
- Builds a custom, optimized outline based on search intent and competitor insights.
- Writes the full article using your selected Tone of Voice.
- Enriches the content with relevant formatting, links, visuals (where appropriate), and your Call-to-Actions (CTAs).
The result is a comprehensive, SEO-ready blog post tailored to your niche.
4. Review, Improve, or Publish
The generated article opens directly in the RankPill editor.
Here you can:
- View the live SEO Score (updates in real-time as you edit).
- See suggestions for potential improvements (headings, links, keywords).
- Make edits or add elements like images, quotes, or videos using the "/" command on a new line.
To get the article onto your website, you have two main options:
- Manual Publish: Use the "Copy as" button (Rich Text, HTML, or Markdown) and paste the content, title, slug, and meta description into your CMS.
- Auto-Publish: If you've connected a compatible CMS (like Webflow) via Settings → Integrations, you can publish directly from the editor (instantly or scheduled).
Many users publish articles with minimal edits, but the editor provides full control if you want to refine the content further.
5. Repeat and Build Momentum
SEO is a continuous process. Consistent publishing using well-chosen keywords is key to achieving the best results.
Our recommendations:
- Aim for a consistent publishing schedule (e.g., using your article credits steadily throughout the month).
- Utilize all your monthly article credits, as they don't roll over.
- Continue using a mix of High Opportunity and Core Business keywords to build broad topical authority and capture relevant traffic.
Each article generated and published strengthens your site's SEO foundation. RankPill automates the heavy lifting (research, outlining, writing, optimizing), freeing you up to focus on consistent publishing.
Final Tip: Don't feel like you need to become an SEO expert overnight. RankPill is designed to handle the technical SEO aspects for you, from keyword analysis to on-page optimization. Focus on selecting relevant keywords and publishing consistently.
