How to Use AI Article Generator

Follow these steps to create and refine your article inside the Content Toolkit:

Step 1: Launch the AI Article Generator

Access AI Article Generator from the left-hand menu of the Content Toolkit. 

From here, simply enter your topic idea to begin.

Or, pick a topic using Topic Finder (also part of the Content Toolkit) and open it directly in AI Article Generator to begin your draft.

Step 2: Fill out the article setup

Next, you’ll be asked to enter the key details for your article. Like:

• Audience location: Helps tailor the content to your target region
• Title: What your article is about; you can enter your own, or select from AI suggestions
• Target keywords: Suggested automatically based on your primary idea, with the option to modify or add more
• Word count: Choose your preferred article length
• Brand voice: Select from your saved voices or create a new one in the brand voice feature
• Tone: Choose between casual, formal, or neutral
• SEO Boost toggle: Enable this option for enhanced SEO optimization using SERP-level insights.*

*Your plan includes 5 SEO Boost articles per month. You can add 10 more for $30/month.

Once everything is filled out, click ‘Create article’ to generate your first draft.

Step 3: Review the first draft

Wait while the tool generates a complete article draft based on your input. It can take anywhere from one to four minutes.

Once your draft is ready, you can:

• Edit and optimize content from the blog editor
• Regenerate the entire draft if you'd like a new version
• Or move straight to publishing if you're happy with the result

Step 4: Refine the article (if you choose to edit)

Would you like to further enhance your article? 

The built-in blog editor makes it easy and fast. Here, you can:

• Edit your content manually

• Add more content using the integrated AI chatbot trained on your article 
• Generate AI images and/or add royalty-free stock images
• Score your draft and add extra readability, SEO, and tone of voice improvements 

You can also rephrase, expand, or shorten content sections with AI by selecting the target text.

Step 5: Publish or export

Once the article is ready, you can choose how to share or publish it:

• Publish directly to WordPress
• Export to Google Docs
• Share a read-only link
• Use the Semrush AI Writer Chrome browser extension to edit, improve, and create content on any website or platform

Note: Title tags and meta descriptions are also included in the exported Google Docs.
