Blog Agent turns a topic in your RankTalon Calendar into a researched, SEO-ready business article. It prepares the article, SEO fields, FAQ and featured-image workflow, then puts the draft into review before you schedule or publish it.
One public workflow for the draft, its checks and its destination.
Starts with your real website
Research before writing
Nothing publishes before approval
BEFORE THE DRAFT
Start with a real business topic, not a blank page
Choose an existing idea in Calendar, create your own topic or add a topic from your content ideas. Blog Agent combines that brief with the business information already available to RankTalon, then researches the subject before it writes.
The result is more than a block of generated text. It is a structured article with a title, excerpt, SEO fields, focus keyword, headings, FAQs, a closing call to action and a featured-image brief. You can review the complete draft in the same publishing workflow that manages the rest of your content.
01
Choose the direction
Start with a suggested topic or provide the subject, angle and details your customers need.
02
Build the evidence
Use the business website and relevant public sources to ground company-specific and time-sensitive information.
03
Prepare the article
Create the long-form draft, SEO fields, FAQs and image direction before the item reaches review.
RESEARCH FROM SOURCES WORTH USING
Research assistance before the writing begins
Blog Agent starts with the business website for company-specific information such as services, booking methods, coverage and published details. Topic research uses OpenAI web search to explore focused variations of the subject, retain HTTPS sources from native search citations and remove duplicate results.
A separate article research pass asks for official sources for time-sensitive, regulatory, travel, weather, destination and similar facts. Reputable sources are used where no official source is available. Government, NHS and recognised academic or public-authority domains are classified as official authority where the evidence supports that classification.
The workflow is source-aware research assistance, not a promise that every web result is complete or current. Unsupported details are identified as missing or left out rather than presented as confirmed business facts.
Up to four focused topic-search variantsTopic research can run up to four focused search variants for the subject.
A separate article-specific research passA dedicated article pass can run before drafting to organise the research brief and missing facts.
Up to 12 unique research links retainedThe merged Calendar working evidence set can retain up to 12 unique research links.
Up to 24 research facts retainedThe same working evidence set can retain up to 24 research facts before drafting.
WHAT EVERY ARTICLE INCLUDES
A complete article package, ready for a human review
Articles aim for at least 1,000 useful words without padding. Each production article includes the fields and structure needed for a practical business blog:
A clear article title and complete excerpt.
An SEO title and meta description.
A focus keyword used naturally.
At least three useful H2 sections.
Three to six FAQ items.
One closing call to action.
A featured-image brief and image-generation workflow.
Internal links
Up to three supplied same-site links, validated against the allowed URLs.
External URLs
URLs used in the article copy are checked against the available research evidence and may raise a warning when no matching evidence is present. This is not a guarantee that every external link is valid.
QUALITY CHECKS BEFORE REVIEW
Clear structure, useful detail and a visible approval step
Before the article is ready for review, the production workflow checks its structure, metadata, FAQ placement and completeness, focus-keyword use, excerpt duplication, encoding, unsupported claims, publisher perspective, repetition, incomplete wording and unsafe internal links.
Depending on the selected quality setting, the article can also receive a bounded AI audit and revision pass. The review targets a publishable result and stops early when the draft has no required fixes or factual risks. The workflow keeps the best available version; it does not promise a particular score or replace your judgement.

CONNECTED DESTINATIONS
Publish where your business already works
WordPress
Send an approved Calendar article to a connected WordPress workflow. The publisher checks the article requirements, submits the content and verifies the returned public URL after WordPress responds.
Replit Site
Send an approved article to a connected Replit Site using the Agent Site publishing workflow. The result is checked and mapped to the site’s public permalink.
Publishing support is focused on WordPress and connected Replit/Agent Site destinations. It does not claim support for every CMS.
AUTOMATION WITH APPROVAL
Let the repetitive work run without giving up the final decision
Blog Agent can handle the research, drafting, checks, image queueing and scheduled publishing workflow. The article still enters review before publication. Approve it when it is ready, choose a publishing time or use publish now. Failed publication attempts remain visible, and failed drafts can be retried instead of disappearing.
Your Calendar remains the control point: edit the draft, change the destination, reschedule the item, pause the workflow or leave the article in review.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Questions about Blog Agent
What does RankTalon research before writing?
Blog Agent starts with the business website and the business information available in RankTalon. It then researches the article topic using focused web searches and a separate article research pass. Company-specific details are preferred from the business website, while official or reputable public sources are used for relevant time-sensitive, regulatory, travel, weather or destination information where available.
How long is an article?
Production articles aim for at least 1,000 useful words, with enough structure to answer the main search intent without padding. The workflow also prepares the excerpt, SEO fields, headings, FAQs and closing call to action. Length is a target, not a promise of an exact word count or a fixed maximum.
Does Blog Agent use government and official sources?
Yes, when they are relevant and available. Research prioritises official sources for time-sensitive or public-authority information and can classify government, NHS and recognised academic or public-authority domains as official authority. Source-aware research is not the same as a guarantee that every result is complete, current or individually cited.
Can I provide my own topic and internal links?
Yes. You can create your own Calendar topic or choose an existing idea. You can also supply up to three relevant internal links from the business website. The article workflow restricts internal links to the supplied allowed URLs and checks them before publication.
Does it publish automatically?
Generation and scheduling can be automated, but a generated article first enters review. You decide whether to edit and approve it, schedule it or publish it now. Publication processing then sends the approved article to the selected connected destination and records the result.
Where can Blog Agent publish?
The production Calendar workflow publishes to WordPress and connected Replit/Agent Site destinations. After the destination responds, RankTalon checks the returned public URL. If publishing fails, the failed draft remains visible and can be retried.
