Publish an article to a website

An approved article can be published without copy and paste: to the blog of a website built in ItzSEO, or to a connected WordPress site. The same window adds the images and the description Google shows.

Steps

1. 1

   Open the publish window

   On: Article editor

   In the article editor find Publish: and press Publish…. Your latest edits are saved first.

   You should see: A window titled "Publish article".

2. 2

   Choose the main image

   On: Publish window

   Under Hero image describe the picture you want and press Generate. An AI image costs 5 credits. To use a free stock photo, press Use stock photo instead and search for one.

   You should see: The image shows at the top of the window.

3. 3

   Add images inside the article

   On: Publish window

   Under Inline section images choose How many?, from 0 to 4. Each image costs 3 credits and is placed under one of the article's section headings.

   You should see: One slot per image, each with its own button to generate it.

4. 4

   Check the description

   On: Publish window

   SEO meta description is the sentence Google may show under the title. Edit it, or press Regenerate for a new one. Aim for 140 to 160 characters; the counter under the box shows the length.

   You should see: One clear sentence that says what the article gives the reader.

5. 5

   Publish to an ItzSEO website

   On: Publish window

   Under Your websites each live website with a blog has a row. Press Preview to see your draft on the real website through a private link that lasts 30 minutes; nothing is published. Press Publish to make it live. A website without a blog shows Enable blog first.

   You should see: The row shows the post's address and a View post link.

6. 6

   Or publish to WordPress

   On: Publish window

   With WordPress connected, choose the Categories and Tags, then press Publish to WordPress. Save WordPress draft sends it as a draft, for someone to check inside WordPress first.

   You should see: "Published to WordPress:" followed by the address, and the article's status changes to Published.

7. 7

   Update or take down a post

   On: Publish window

   After you edit the article, the website's row is marked DRAFT NEWER: the live post is older than your draft. Press Republish to update it. Unpublish takes the post off the website.

   You should see: The live post matches your latest draft, or is gone.

Tips

• The line above the WordPress buttons shows how many credits the publish will spend on new images. Images you already generated are not charged again.
• The article is sent to WordPress as formatted HTML.
• View published post in the article editor opens the WordPress post after publishing.

Troubleshooting

"WordPress isn't connected on this project."

Connect WordPress in the project's Settings (see Connect a WordPress site for one-click publishing), or publish to an ItzSEO website instead.

Your websites says there are no live websites in this project yet.

Publish a website in Web Design first. Its blog then shows up here.

Publishing is refused because the client has not approved the article.

This project requires client approval before publishing. Send the article for approval and publish once the client approves.

A website shows No blog yet, with no button.

Your role cannot change the website. Ask a project editor to enable the blog.
