Write from sitemap

Byword’s newest feature allows you to create improved versions of content straight from a competitor’s sitemap. This strategic approach helps you identify exactly what topics your competitors are targeting and create better content on those same topics.

​

How it works

The Write From Sitemap feature lets you scan a competitor’s sitemap, select which URLs you’d like to target, and generate improved articles based on their content structure.

​

Step 1: Enter a competitor’s sitemap

Enter the URL of your competitor’s sitemap. Most websites have their sitemap at /sitemap.xml or similar locations.

​

Step 2: Review and filter results

Once Byword scans the sitemap, you’ll see all the URLs that were found. You can filter these results to find specific content types or topics you’re interested in.

​

Step 3: Select URLs to target

Choose which URLs you’d like to analyze and improve upon. You can select individual URLs or use the “Select all” option if you want to target everything that matches your filter.

​

Step 4: Preview and generate

Byword will analyze the selected URLs and create article previews showing the structure and headings that will be used in your new content. You can review these previews for free before deciding whether to generate the full articles.
