AEO and SEO Comparison Blog Post Generator
Automate the entire process of writing high-quality, AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) and SEO-optimized comparison blog posts, from research to final document creation.
This automation streamlines your content creation workflow by transforming a simple list of topics into fully-realized articles. Here's how it works:
- Reads Your Plan: It starts by reading a list of blog topics and target companies from a Google Sheet you provide. It intelligently processes only the topics that haven't been completed yet.
- Learns Your Style: It fetches a style guide from a Google Doc you specify, ensuring every article matches your brand's tone and structure.
- Does the Research: For each topic, it researches the target companies using a search engine to gather key information like features, target audience, and differentiators.
- Captures Visuals: It can optionally visit each company's website to capture "above the fold" screenshots, which are then uploaded to a Google Drive folder of your choice.
- Writes the Article: Using all the gathered information and your style guide, an advanced AI model writes a comprehensive, well-structured comparison blog post, optimized for search and answer engines.
- Creates the Document: It creates a new Google Doc for each article, populating it with the generated content and links to the captured screenshots.
- Closes the Loop: Finally, it updates your original Google Sheet by adding the link to the new Google Doc, so you always have a central record of your published content.
