Article automation — set it once, it posts forever

Your blog, on autopilot

YoDon is article writing and publishing automation for website owners. Set it up once: it researches each topic on the live web, writes and designs the article, and auto-posts it to your site with the sources it used. Then it does it again on schedule — every day, week or month, without you touching anything.

What YoDon does

YoDon is article writing and publishing automation for website owners. Describe what your site is about once, pick a rhythm — daily, weekly, monthly — and it takes over from there. Every run researches the topic on the open web, writes the article from what it found, generates the featured image, adds SEO metadata, and publishes the finished post to your site — either automatically or as a draft for you to approve. Set it once and it keeps posting, week after week, without you. WordPress, Wix and Webflow work today, any other site connects through the webhook, and Shopify and Ghost are on the way.

YoDon connects to your own site using a credential you create and can revoke at any time.

An empty home office at dawn, the desk lamp on and a laptop glowing softly

This morning, on schedule

The research ran, the article was written, the draft is waiting — and no one was at the desk.

That is the whole product. You decide the topics and the rhythm once; the publishing happens whether or not you show up.

Two minutes, start to finish

The real product, recorded end to end: connecting a site, setting a topic and a rhythm, the run itself, and the finished article live on the blog.

One schedule, six steps

What happens while you are not looking

An automation is a saved topic and a cadence. Every time it comes due, this runs end to end without anyone touching it.

    Draft or live, on time

One credit, one run, all six. If any stage fails, the credit comes back.
  1. 1

    Your schedule comes due

    A topic you wrote once and a cadence you picked — daily, weekly, monthly, or an interval of your own.

  2. 2

    It researches on the live web

    The researcher searches the open web for what is true right now and keeps every source URL it used.

  3. 3

    It writes from the findings

    Written from verified research rather than model memory, in your language and your angle.

  4. 4

    It designs the page

    Your saved article style plus a generated featured image, so posts don't come out looking like raw theme output.

  5. 5

    It optimises for search and AI

    SEO title, description and keyword written into Yoast or Rank Math, structured so AI assistants can quote it.

  6. 6

    It publishes, or waits for you

    Straight to the site, or held as a draft for review. Either way an email tells you it happened.

Prefer to write one article right now? That works too — the same pipeline runs on demand, and in bulk from a list of topics.

Plans ahead

It checks before it spends

From your topics, YoDon plans a run of distinct articles, spread across teaching, comparing and converting. Every planned title is compared against what it has already written for you and against the posts already on your site. Anything too close is skipped, and a skipped run costs no credit.

  • See the whole queue before anything is written, and swap an idea out.
  • Drafts can wait for your approval, or go live on schedule.
  • Categories are matched to the ones your site already has.

Inside the article

Built like something a person would read to the end

Most AI writing arrives as a wall of paragraphs. Every YoDon article is assembled from blocks — and the numbers inside them stay as text, which is what search engines and AI assistants can actually quote. Higher writing levels also buy a longer article and a deeper research sweep.

  • Comparison tables

    When the answer is a choice between options, it arrives as a table you can scan — not a paragraph listing them.

  • Figures that stay readable

    Numbers worth comparing get a bar figure. It is built from real HTML, not a picture, so the values stay as text a search engine can read.

  • Steps, takeaways and pros and cons

    A process becomes a numbered list, a judgement becomes two columns, and the summary sits in its own box at the top.

  • A real FAQ

    Questions phrased the way people ask an assistant, each with one clear answer, marked up so an answer engine can lift it.

  • An article record

    Every source it used, re-checked against the live web at publish time and listed with the site it came from.

  • Painted for your theme

    Colours are worked out from your own site's palette, so a block never lands as a white card on a dark page.

  • Links to the pages that matter

    Name your products, services and key pages once. Every article after that is offered them ahead of your blog posts, with the anchor text you prefer.

  • Older posts brought back up to date

    Point YoDon at an article that is already live and it rewrites it in place — same URL, still published, its own links kept, and a fresh record of what it checked.

Every block is plain HTML that survives WordPress's own filtering — no stylesheet to strip, nothing that arrives as visible CSS on the page.

Verified, not invented

Every article starts with real research

Before a word is written, the researcher searches the live web, cross-checks what it finds, and fetches every source it intends to cite — anything unreachable is dropped. The published article lists the sources it used, so you and your readers can check them.

  • Sources are fetched and checked before they are cited
  • Citations stay in the article, linked inline
  • You can restrict sources — government-only, no competitors, your call

You stay in charge

Publish itself, draft for review, or wait for you

Every schedule has three modes: publish straight to the site, save as a WordPress draft, or hold the article in YoDon until you send it. You get an email each time, and drafts can be published one by one or all at once from the dashboard.

  • Nothing goes live without your chosen level of review
  • Switch modes at any time
  • Edit anything after it publishes, exactly as you would your own post

A plan you can see

The upcoming articles are on the table, not in a black box

Each automation keeps a visible plan of what it will write next — title, angle, keyword and category per article. Reorder it, edit it, or delete what you don't want. Before any credit is spent, each planned piece is checked against everything already on your site.

  • See and edit the queue of upcoming articles
  • Duplicates are skipped before they cost anything
  • Categories come from your site's real taxonomy

Who it's for

Built for people whose real job isn't blogging

The blog matters — it brings the customers — but it is never the thing you opened the business to do. Whoever you are, the writing runs without you.

A florist tying a bouquet at her shop counter

Shop and studio owners

Your site should answer the questions customers ask you all day. Name those topics once; the answers publish themselves while you run the counter.

A hotel manager welcoming guests in a bright lobby

Hotels and travel businesses

Guests search for your destination before they search for you. Guides, comparisons and what-a-stay-really-costs articles book the room while you run the front desk.

Online stores

Buying guides and comparisons are the pages that rank and convert. Name the products you carry; the guides write themselves and link straight to them.

Real estate agents

Neighbourhood guides, market updates and buyer checklists are how people find an agent months before they call. Keep them coming without writing nights and weekends.

A fitness coach smiling while rolling out a mat in a bright studio

Fitness and wellness studios

Beginner guides, class explainers and nutrition Q&As answer the questions new clients are too shy to ask — and they keep answering between sessions.

Restaurants and hospitality

Seasonal menus, supplier stories and what-to-expect guides keep the site alive between services — and give guests a reason to book before they walk past.

A café owner laughing with a customer while making coffee

Local businesses

A blog that posts every week is one of the cheapest ways to be found — and the first thing that stops when the week gets busy. This one doesn't stop.

Consultants and marketers

Run a schedule per client site, hold everything as drafts for review, and keep per-topic control over links, length and sources.

Agencies with client blogs

Content retainers without the writing bottleneck: one YoDon account, every client's site connected, every schedule on its own rhythm. You review; it ships.

Why it holds up

Four specialists, one article

Every article moves through the same pipeline, whether you asked for it or a schedule did.

  1. 1

    Brief

    Your prompt becomes a real editorial brief: angle, audience, outline, keywords.

  2. 2

    Research

    On paid plans, live web research grounds the article in real, current sources — each one is fetched and checked before it is cited.

  3. 3

    Write

    The article is written from the verified findings — with the citations kept.

  4. 4

    Optimise

    Tuned for search engines and for the AI assistants people now ask instead.

As many schedules as you need

One per site, one per topic cluster, one for the news roundup. On any paid plan the number is uncapped — your monthly articles are the only budget to think about.

Your design, every time

Save reusable article styles and every generated post is wrapped in your layout instead of plain theme output.

Linked in both directions

Out to the authoritative sources behind the research, and inward to the posts you have already published.

Connects in about two minutes

On WordPress an Application Password needs no plugin at all, and there is a connector for hosts that block it. Wix takes one click. Any other site — Ghost, a custom build — connects through the webhook.

What it is for

Search traffic that compounds

A blog that publishes on a schedule, with every post indexed the day it goes out, grows the way the graph below does: slowly at first, then each week's articles adding to the last. This is the shape, drawn. The graph that counts is the one in your own Search Console.

  • Indexed on release

    With Google indexing connected, every published article is submitted to Google's Indexing API the moment it goes live, and retried for a week if Google refuses.

  • Cited, not claimed

    Each article carries the sources it was written from, so the pages that quote it have something to check.

  • Never a duplicate

    Planned titles are checked against what is already on your site before a credit is spent.

Pricing

Pick a publishing rhythm

An article costs one credit at the standard writing model and more at the stronger ones, with research, writing, image and publishing included. Failed runs refund automatically.

Questions

What do I actually have to give it?
A connected site and the topics you want covered. You name a topic — “best hotels in the Maldives”, “payroll for small teams” — and, if you want, a sentence on how it should be handled. Leave that blank and YoDon writes the brief itself. Everything else has a sensible default you can ignore until you care about it.
Will it publish without me seeing it?
Only if you choose that. Each automation either publishes on its own, saves a draft to your site, or keeps the article in YoDon until you send it. You get an email either way, and you can switch between the three at any time.
Will it write the same article twice?
It checks before it spends anything. Every planned article is compared against what YoDon has already written for you and against the posts already on your site. Anything too close is skipped, and a run with nothing new to say costs you no credit. If you enter two topics that are really the same topic, the form says so before you start.
How is this different from other AI writers?
Most tools generate text from a model's memory. YoDon researches the topic on the live web first, cross-checks claims across several sources, and keeps the citations — so what gets published is current and traceable rather than confidently invented.
How does it decide which category a post goes in?
It reads your site's real category list and files each topic under the one a reader would expect. When nothing on your site fits, it tells you before anything is written and offers you the choice: pick one of your own categories, create the one it suggests, or leave it to YoDon at publish time. It never quietly invents a taxonomy behind your back.
What about the images?
Every article gets its own featured image, written from that article's brief rather than a stock prompt — so a run of ten posts gets ten different pictures. You can hand it art direction to keep the whole set looking like one publication, or turn images off entirely.
Does it work with my theme and my SEO plugin?
Yes. Articles can inherit your theme, or YoDon can read your site's own colours, fonts and content width and lay each one out to match. Yoast and Rank Math are detected when you connect, and the SEO title, description and focus keyword are written into whichever you use.
What happens when I run out of articles for the month?
Your schedules pause themselves rather than silently failing, and we email you. They start again on their own the moment your monthly allowance refills — or you can top up and they resume immediately. Nothing is ever billed to you by surprise.
What does one article include, and what does it cost?
The research, the writing, the featured image, the design render and the publish — all in, nothing metered separately. One credit at the Standard writing model, 2 at Enhanced, 3 at Maximum; the number is on the card before you spend it. On paid plans, every level gets research, citations, SEO and linking; Enhanced and Maximum add inline photos and figures. If a generation fails, the credits go back automatically.
Can I edit an article before it goes live?
Yes. Set the automation to keep articles in YoDon or to save them as WordPress drafts, and nothing reaches your readers until you say so. You can also edit anything after it publishes, in WordPress, exactly as you would a post you wrote yourself.
What is GEO?
Generative Engine Optimisation — being the source that AI assistants quote. YoDon structures each article with direct answers, cited statistics and prompt-shaped FAQs, which is what those systems actually cite.
Can I cancel whenever I want?
Yes. Manage or cancel the subscription yourself from the billing page; you keep the plan until the end of the period you already paid for, and nothing you have published is touched.
