Byword

Byword looks a little bit... different! I've spent the last few months rebuilding Byword from the ground up with two main goals: ✨ Give it a more professional, mature look 🌐 Restructure everything around 'domains' Why domains? Because users don't just want random articles - they're trying to grow traffic to specific websites. The platform should reflect that. With the domain-focused approach, we can now: ⚙️ Save and customise settings per domain 🔎 Automatically discover keyword opportunities 📊 Generate SEO audits for existing content 💡 Suggest programmatic campaign ideas We've laid the groundwork for these features and are already building more.

1 blog post a day keeps your SEO from fading away. Here's how (in 5 hours a month):

I see too many websites with 100s of blog posts that get 0 traffic, publishing entirely new content each month. If you have lots of existing content, do this first: 1. Go to Search Console 2. Filter for the last 30 days 3. Find keywords in positions 3-20 4. Write new copy for those keywords You’ll get quicker traffic increases by optimising your existing content instead of only creating new content. Here’s how I do this in minutes:

If I can only use 5 AI tools for SEO? This is my ultimate tool stack:

I've been doing AI SEO from the very start... We even launched Byword 2 weeks before ChatGPT. - 3 million AI articles generated - Multi-millions in SEO traffic - Over 75,000 users It’s been wild seeing AI SEO evolve over the past 2 years. Here are the 7 biggest “evolutions” so far:

🥳 Byword turns 2 today! In the last 2 years we've put out over 2.7 million articles, 5 billion words of content, and a whole ton of SEO traffic. But AI SEO is a very different space today from what it was back in 2022, and Byword is changing to stay ahead of the game. We're making some big changes under the hood, to take Byword from an article generator to a fully fledged SEO assistant. Check out some of the backstory to Byword, and also where we're heading over the next year here: https://lnkd.in/eUtrX5Q4

Look how quickly AI is improving. Here's the evolution of AI blog images: This huge upgrade has just been released in Byword’s AI image generation for blog posts. Same keyword. Higher quality output. And it's only getting better...

I built a website glossary in 2 hours: - 840K SEO traffic (from 420 pages) - 70K/mo current traffic - $3.09 per page The easiest SEO project I’ve ever done. Here's how I did it:

I've spent the last 3 months rewriting Byword from the ground up. Why? As the use of article generators has grown, results pages have become more and more competitive. Simply having a relevant article isn't enough in 2024, when the costs of producing content have fallen dramatically and anyone can produce relevant content. SEO is a fundamentally competitive game, and to win rankings you need to have content that's better than your competition. To give Byword users an edge, I wanted to go back to the drawing board, and think about how they could build content that stands out on any SERP. The two main solutions here were: 🅰️ Help them build content that's unique, and that they can't get from any other tool 🅱️ Help them build content that's tailored to their site, their brand, and which keeps users moving through the site The result of this is genuinely the biggest feature launch since Byword first came out: Custom Articles! This goes far beyond a simple one-click builder. You can now build entirely customisable article templates, from a range of configurable blocks, and generate limitless articles from them. You can even import custom data that's relevant to your brand. That means: 📣 Tailored CTAs/offers/links etc for each individual article 🖼️ Custom imagery and blocks inside your article 🦄 Totally differentiated articles For the first time, you can even upload external knowledge sources, letting you import content from PDFs, podcasts, YouTube videos, or external URLs, giving you absolute control over Byword's engine. You can start creating custom articles today in your account: https://byword.ai/custom

📢 Byword 2.0 is coming... Here's what's happened in SEO over the past year, and why 2.0 is going to change the game (again). With the rise of AIxSEO article generators, more and more articles on SERPs are being written by AI. These tools all differ somewhat, but it's lead to less differentiation in content, and made it difficult to stand out from the crowd. We've been adding features in Byword to help differentiate content: - Interlinking - Custom tones of voice - Custom CTAs - Inline imagery But we felt the next big step needed something more, and with that we've gone back to basics and rewritten our core article writing engine. The result: ✨ Custom article templates ✨ Connected to your data ✨ Delivering unique, programmatic content, like never before We'll soon be launching the ability to build custom article templates with a drag-and-drop builder, so you can build your articles *exactly* as you want them. You can have as little or as much control as you like over each section; precisely tailoring each heading with {variables} or just giving Byword a plain-English prompt to work from. You can then upload custom datasets that you connect to your templates. This can be as simple as a list of cities, that you want to generate articles about. It can be much more advanced though, and you can upload huge spreadsheets with tens of columns of unique data to feed into your articles. What does this mean? Highly tailored content, that's entirely unique to your brand and the data you have at your fingertips - stuff that no other competitor or article generator could write. What's next? 📩 We're launching this as an invite-only beta to select users imminently. 🖼 We're upgrading our image model to coincide with this. 📄 We're also adding the ability to upload custom documents (.doc, .pdf, plaintext) to give more context to articles. This is the future of SEO. Watch this space.
