One managed system, not scattered tools
The Article Type selector on the Create Post page offers 11 specialized content formats, each with its own guided form fields. Blog Articles use standard SEO optimization. Service Pages add process steps, ideal customer, and differentiator fields. City/County/State Pages include neighborhood names, local facts, and service area descriptions for location-accurate content. FAQ Pages generate customer decision questions scoped to services offered. Freestyle lets users write custom instructions. Glossary Terms build topical authority. How-To Guides accept real steps, prerequisites, and common mistakes. About Us Pages use a focus area field. Pillar Content includes cluster article planning and expert insights. Listicles accept must-include items and target count. Comparisons (X vs Y) target high-intent commercial queries with structured side-by-side analysis. Each type produces output shaped to its format.
The capabilities that make up Article Types
Generates City/County/State landing pages for local SEO from the Create Post flow. Adds location-accuracy context fields — Neighborhoods & Areas Served (city_neighborhoods), Local Facts & Details (city_local_facts), and Service Area Description (service_area) — which, when provided, are injected into the generation prompt to use exact neighborhood names and verified local facts instead of inventing details. Prompt + structure updates: - Reduced repetitive business info injection; business name mainly in intro/closing. - CTA contradiction removed; ends with a short action-oriented heading. - Testimonials capped at 1 and placed contextually to support a local trust claim. - Accuracy guardrails: only include specific statistics, landmarks, highways, or neighborhood names if provided in source material; otherwise avoid fabricating specifics. - Promotional restraint: demonstrate local expertise through area knowledge rather than brand repetition. - "Local Insider Tip" only generated when real local insights exist (skips rather than fabricates). - Expanded banned phrases (e.g., "your go-to", "look no further"). - Local statistics rule softened: include only when provided in source material.
