This guide will help you create your first SEO-optimized article in just a few minutes. Follow these simple steps to go from setup to published content.
1

Configure your account settings

Before diving in, take a moment to configure your article settings on your settings page. Here you can do things like:
  • Customise your article length and language
  • Set your brand voice and writing style preferences
2

Set up integrations (Optional)

Want to publish directly to your website? Visit the integrations page to connect with:
  • WordPress
  • Webflow
  • Zapier
  • API access
Integrations allow for seamless publishing without copy-pasting, but this step is optional. You can always export content manually later.
3

Create your first article

Now for the fun part! Head to the Create page and:
  1. Select “Single Articles” from the content options
  2. Enter a keyword you want to rank for (e.g., “best protein powder for muscle gain”)
  3. Click “Generate Article”
Byword will automatically research your topic and generate a comprehensive, SEO-optimized article.

Review and publish

Once your article is generated, you can:
  • Review the content
  • View it on your CMS (if you’ve set up an integration)
  • If you prefer manual publishing, click the gear icon and select your preferred format (HTML, Markdown, or plain text) to copy
That’s it! Your first SEO-optimized article is ready to drive traffic to your site.
Now that you’ve created your first article, explore Byword’s more advanced features. You can find these in the left hand sidebar.
