Content Generator

Generate AI-optimised articles and publish them directly to your CMS with a single click.

Overview

The Content Generator creates full-length, structured articles designed to be cited by AI engines. Each generated article follows the content patterns that AI engines favour — clear headings, FAQ sections, direct answer paragraphs, and rich structured data — then lets you refine the output in a built-in editor before publishing to your CMS.

Creating an Article

  1. Click New Article from the Content Generator page.
  2. Enter a topic or title — or pick one from your Opportunities list (articles generated from Opportunities are pre-seeded with context from your prompt data).
  3. Select an AI engine target (optional) — this biases the article structure toward the citation patterns preferred by that engine.
  4. Configure options:
    • Tone — pulled from your Brand Kit if configured, or set per-article (Professional, Conversational, Technical)
    • Length — Short (~600 words), Medium (~1 200 words), Long (~2 000+ words)
    • Include FAQ section — adds a FAQPage-schema-ready Q&A block at the end
    • Include structured data — auto-generates Article and (if applicable) FAQPage JSON-LD
  5. Click Generate.

Generation takes 15–40 seconds depending on length. The article opens in the editor when complete.

Editor

The built-in editor (powered by TipTap) gives you a rich text environment to review and refine the generated article before publishing. You can:

  • Edit, add, or remove any section
  • Reformat headings, lists, and tables
  • Insert images (hosted externally — paste a URL)
  • Preview the raw Markdown or HTML output
  • View the structured data that will be embedded on publish

The editor auto-saves your changes.

Publishing

With a CMS Connector configured, click Publish to send the article directly to your connected CMS:

  • WordPress — creates a new draft post (or updates an existing one by URL). You can set the post category, tags, author, and featured image URL before publishing.
  • Webflow — publishes to the selected collection as a draft item. Map article fields to your Webflow CMS schema in the Connectors settings.

If no CMS Connector is configured, you can export the article as Markdown, HTML, or a JSON payload for manual publishing.

ℹ️ Info

Publishing always creates a draft in your CMS — Citatra never publishes directly to live without your confirmation in the CMS.

Article History

All generated articles are saved in the Content Generator history, regardless of whether they were published. Click any past article to reopen it in the editor, re-generate a new version from the same brief, or delete it.

💡 Tip

Connect your Brand Kit before generating articles. A well-configured Brand Kit ensures the generated content consistently uses your brand name, preferred terminology, and tone of voice — reducing manual editing time significantly.
