The Bottleneck: Quality vs. Volume
Publisher Z had expert editors and a strong tone of voice—but their process didn’t scale. Writers spent too much time researching and outlining, editors rewrote drafts for structure and E-E-A-T, and SEO checks happened too late. The result: slow output and inconsistent on-page optimization.
- Uneven briefs led to off-angle drafts and rework
- Manual outlines delayed production by days
- SEO audits at the end caused heavy edits and missed opportunities
The Solution: An SEO-First Editorial Workflow in Copypen
They rebuilt the workflow around Copypen’s SEO tools so writers start strong and editors finish fast—without compromising accuracy or tone.
New End-to-End Workflow
- Brief Generator: Paste target keyword(s) and audience → get a structured brief with search intent, entities, questions, and SERP gaps to exploit.
- Outline Builder: One-click H2/H3 outline with coverage prompts, FAQs, and comparison blocks (vs. competitors).
- Draft with Guardrails: Writer mode enforces tone, reading level, brand terms, and claims-need-citation flags.
- Optimize + Interlink: On-page checklist handles title/meta, URL slug, image alts, internal links, table/FAQ schema, and key entity coverage.
- Editor Pass: Style and fact-check prompts, plagiarism check, and “tighten & de-fluff” tool reduce editing time.
