AI Writing with GPT-4 and style guides

The new AI writing utility is divided into two parts to give you greater control over how you want to produce your first drafts. 

The generation of the first draft is divided into generating and refining your prompts, and the next part is generating the actual first drafts.

AI Writing with GPT-4 and style guides

Generating an extremely detailed draft that uses a lot of background research is a very tedious task, and hence maintaining cohesiveness in the produced content has always been a challenge for the modular AI writing approach. 

To ensure the draft follows specific writing guidelines and maintains cohesiveness, brand values, and personal writing preferences, you can now define your own Style Guide. Outranking comes with a comprehensive Style guide that will suit almost all use cases; many brands and agencies will extensively benefit from this feature and be able to define style guides for the business use case it serves.

The default style guides will produce highly detailed prompts that can be further refined before generating the draft in step 2.

Internal linking Suggestions

This new version comes with many extended capabilities for strategists. One of them is a separate utility for Internal link suggestions.

Outranking now uses more intelligent algorithms to find pages with higher Pagerank that contain some semantic relation or are in the same silo and suggest internal linking for the most valued keyword a URL ranks for.

Internal linking Suggestions

Website content audit using sitemap crawl

Now Outranking can crawl your website and suggest content-related issues. You can easily identify and turn some of these issues into content optimization tasks.
