Getting Started

Step 1: Create Your Account

Visit the registration page and sign up with your email address. No credit card required. You will receive a verification email — click the link to activate your account. Your free trial starts immediately with access to all features.

Step 2: Install the WordPress Plugin

Download the Artikolo connector plugin from the download page. In your WordPress admin, go to Plugins > Add New > Upload Plugin, select the ZIP file, and click Install Now. Activate the plugin after installation.

Step 3: Connect Your WordPress Site

In WordPress, go to Settings > Artikolo and enter the API key from your dashboard. Next, create a dedicated WordPress user with the Author role for publishing. Enter the site URL and Author credentials in your Artikolo dashboard under WordPress Config. Click Test Connection to verify.

Step 4: Generate Your First Article

Navigate to Content Tools in your dashboard. Enter any topic — for example, 'beginner guide to container gardening'. Click Generate and wait 60 seconds. Review the complete article with headings, meta description, and schema markup. Click Publish to send it to your WordPress site.

Content Generation

Prompt-Based Writing

Enter a topic description in the Content Tools panel. The AI researches the topic, creates an outline, and generates a 1,500-3,000 word article with H1/H2/H3 headings, meta description, schema markup, and image suggestions. You can specify target language, article length, and tone preferences before generating.

URL Rewriting (Skyscraper Method)

Paste a competitor URL into the Content Tools panel. The AI analyses the competitor's content structure, keyword targeting, and topic coverage, then creates a completely original article covering the same subject with greater depth and a different angle. Zero plagiarism — every article is original.

SEO Autopilot (Automated)

Configure SEO Autopilot from the dashboard. It analyses your existing content, compares it against up to three competitor domains, identifies keyword gaps, scores opportunities by volume and difficulty, and generates a content queue. Click Publish All to send the batch to WordPress or review individually. See the SEO Autopilot page for a full walkthrough.

Anti-Slop Quality System

Every article passes through our anti-slop system that blocks generic AI phrases ("delve into", "in today's digital landscape", "game-changer") before output. The system ensures content reads naturally and avoids the patterns that AI detection tools flag. Business plan users get a second AI editing pass using a different model for additional quality refinement.

Editing Before Publishing

Every generated article appears in your dashboard for review. You can edit the text, adjust headings, change the meta description, modify keyword targeting, rearrange sections, and add your own images. Nothing publishes to WordPress without your explicit approval.

Keyword Research

Search by Keyword

Enter a seed keyword (e.g., 'container gardening') in the Keyword Research panel. The tool returns search volume, difficulty score (0-100), CPC data, and related keyword suggestions. You can batch up to 1,000 keywords per query. Filter results by volume range, difficulty level, or opportunity category (Quick Win, Growth, Strategic).

Competitor Gap Analysis

Enter up to three competitor domains to see every keyword they rank for that you do not. Results are sorted by opportunity value — highest volume, lowest difficulty first. This is the fastest path to identifying content opportunities with proven demand.

From Research to Article

Select any keyword from your research results and click Generate Article. The AI uses the keyword data to create an article targeting that specific term with natural placement throughout the content. The full workflow — research, write, publish — happens in one tool.

SERP Tracking

Add Keywords

Enter the keywords you want to track. The system checks your Google ranking position for each keyword on both desktop and mobile. Results update regularly and display position history over time.

Read Your Rankings

The SERP Tracking dashboard shows your current position, position change (up/down/new), and historical trend for each keyword. Green arrows indicate improvement, red indicates decline. You can group keywords by topic or page for organised monitoring.

Track Competitors

Add competitor domains to see their rankings alongside yours. Identify keywords where you are gaining or losing ground relative to specific competitors.

SEO Audit

Run an Audit

Enter any URL in the SEO Audit panel and select your audit type: Quick (5 pages), Comprehensive (50 pages), Technical Focus (10 pages), or Content Focus (20 pages). The audit runs against Google Lighthouse and our custom analyser to score performance, SEO, accessibility, and content quality.

Understand Your Scores

Each audit returns scores out of 100 for Technical SEO (HTTPS, HTTP/2, crawlability), Content Quality (headings, meta tags, images), Performance (Core Web Vitals — LCP, FCP, CLS, TBT), and Mobile Optimisation (viewport, font size, tap targets). Scores are weighted 60/40 mobile/desktop to match Google's mobile-first indexing.

Fix Recommendations

Every audit includes AI-generated fix recommendations prioritised by impact. Recommendations are specific and actionable — 'Add alt text to 3 images on /about' rather than 'Improve image SEO'. Work through the highest-priority items first for maximum ranking improvement.

Schema Markup

Automatic Schema

Every AI-generated article includes valid JSON-LD schema markup automatically. Article schema is added by default. If the content includes FAQ sections, FAQPage schema is generated. For how-to content, HowTo schema is produced.

Manual Schema Generation

Use the Schema Markup tool to generate JSON-LD for any page on your site. Enter the page URL and content type, and the tool produces valid structured data you can paste into your page. Supports Article, FAQ, HowTo, and Product schema types.

Validate Your Schema

After publishing, test your schema using Google's Rich Results Test. Valid schema can earn rich snippets in Google search results — enhanced listings with star ratings, FAQ dropdowns, or step-by-step instructions that increase click-through rates.

Account & Billing

Manage Your Subscription

Go to the Subscription page in your dashboard to view your current plan, remaining credits, and billing cycle. You can upgrade or downgrade plans from this page. Changes take effect at the next billing cycle.

Change Your Password

Go to Profile > Edit Profile. Enter your current password and new password (minimum 8 characters). Click Save Changes.

Connect Multiple Sites

Add multiple WordPress sites from the WordPress Config page. Each site needs its own Artikolo connector plugin installation and API key connection. Your article credits are shared across all connected sites.

Cancel Your Subscription

Go to Subscription > Cancel Subscription. Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you retain access until then. No contracts, no penalties, no questions asked.
