This page covers the article-generation workflow under Optimization > Actions: the inputs you supply (prompt, optional keywords, reference links, files, word count) and the asynchronous pipeline that turns them into a draft with SEO metadata and images.

​
Creating an article

Navigate to Optimization > Actions and fill in the content configuration form.

​
Required input

  • Prompt — describe the article topic and any specific instructions (1—1,000 characters)

​
Optional inputs

  • Keywords — up to 10 target keywords the article should incorporate
  • Reference links — up to 5 URLs that the article should draw information from
  • File uploads — reference documents in PDF, DOCX, CSV, or XLSX format
  • Word count — minimum and maximum word count targets (100—10,000)
Providing keywords and reference links produces more targeted, higher-quality articles. The more context you give, the better the output.

​
How generation works

After you submit, Topify runs a multi-step pipeline in the background: research → reference extraction → file processing → outline → drafting → GEO optimization → image generation → HTML conversion. The pipeline runs asynchronously; you can check progress from the generation history table. For a step-by-step walkthrough including the research dossier, outline approval, and publish flow, see Tutorial: Generate articles.

​
Generation history

The history table lists all your generated articles with:
  • Title — article title
  • Status — pending, processing, completed, or failed
  • Data sources — what inputs were used (web search, reference links, uploaded files)
  • Created date
Click on any article to view its full output.

​
Article output

A completed article includes:
  • Content — full article in Markdown format
  • SEO metadata — optimized title, meta description, and URL slug
  • Keywords — target keywords used in the article
  • Featured images — generated images (when available)

​
Editing and publishing

After generation, you can:
  • Edit the article content, title, slug, and SEO fields directly in the platform
  • Change status between draft, published, and archived
  • Regenerate images if you want different featured images

​
Plan limits

Each article consumes one generation credit. See Billing and plans for credit allowances and how unused credits accumulate.

​
FAQ

​
Does a failed generation use a credit?

No. Credits are consumed only when an article completes successfully. If any step in the pipeline fails, you can retry the same task at no cost.

​
What types of content can Topify generate?

Long-form articles optimized for AI visibility using proven GEO techniques — blog posts, thought leadership articles, comparison pieces, and educational guides. Each one incorporates citations, statistics, and authoritative language designed to maximize the chance AI providers will quote it.

​
How does AI-optimized content differ from traditional SEO content?

Traditional SEO content optimizes for keyword density, backlinks, and meta tags so it ranks in Google’s blue links. AI-optimized (GEO) content optimizes for being quoted by an AI assistant: clear factual statements, named statistics, source citations, and an authoritative tone that AI models are willing to surface in their answers.
