FAQ

1How does AI Publisher generate content?
AI Publisher uses advanced AI reasonong models (via OpenAI API) to generate complete, unique, and SEO and LLM optimized WordPress posts from start to finish. It begins by referencing your stored content strategy, analyzes your site’s existing topics, and conducts automated keyword research. Using this information, it drafts a post, including title, excerpt, tags, categories, and fully formatted content, aligned with your brand voice, audience, and ranking goals. After drafting, the built-in QA agent reviews and improves the post to ensure originality, consistency, and quality before publishing or handing it over for your review. The entire process is fully automated but can also be guided or manually customized, depending on your workflow preference.
2Is the content original, SEO and LLM optimized?
Yes, every post generated by AI Publisher is designed to be original, SEO-optimized, and LLM-optimized. The AI agent checks your site’s existing content to avoid duplication, researches high-value keywords for your target audience, and uses advanced prompt engineering to produce content that aligns with your brand voice, audience, and ranking goals. Each article goes through an automated multi-step QA process to ensure uniqueness, keyword integration, proper structure, and compliance with SEO best practices. The result is fresh, high-quality content that’s ready to perform well in both search engines and large language model-powered experiences
3Can I customize the brand voice and messaging?
Yes, you can fully customize the brand voice, audience, and messaging in AI Publisher. The plugin includes a Content Strategy Builder where you define your brand’s tone, audience, messaging pillars, target personas, value propositions, and more. These brand guidelines are used by the AI to ensure every generated post and social share matches your unique voice and marketing objectives, resulting in consistent, on-brand content across your website and social channels.
4How does the plugin perform keyword research?
AI Publisher performs keyword research using an advanced AI SEO agent that analyzes your website, brand information, and existing tags to suggest high-value, relevant keywords for your content. In addition to automated research, you have full control to manually add, remove, or edit any keyword at any time. This combination of AI-driven suggestions and manual management ensures you always target the most strategic keywords for your goals, with the flexibility to adjust your SEO focus as needed. Every generated post is optimized using this custom set of keywords to maximize search visibility and relevance
5Will it duplicate existing topics on my site?
No, AI Publisher is designed to prevent duplication of existing topics. The plugin automatically analyzes your site’s current posts, pages, categories, and tags, cross-referencing them before generating new content. This ensures that every new post fills topical gaps, avoids repeating subjects already covered, and keeps your content strategy fresh and unique.
6Can I manually edit or guide what the AI writes?
Yes, you can manually edit or guide what the AI writes at every step. AI Publisher offers flexible content creation modes: you can instantly generate a complete post, let the AI suggest data-backed topics for you to select, or start with your own topic and handpicked keywords. After the AI creates a draft, you can review and edit any part of the content, including title, structure, tone, and keywords, before publishing. This gives you complete creative control and ensures every post matches your preferences and requirements.
7How does the quality assurance (QA) process work?
AI Publisher uses a multi-step automated QA process to ensure every post meets high standards before publishing. After drafting content, a dedicated QA agent reviews the post against a detailed checklist, including title relevance, SEO optimization, keyword usage, category and tag accuracy, content originality, brand voice and audience alignment, structure, and formatting. Any issues are flagged and automatically revised by the AI, producing a polished final version that’s ready for publishing. This process minimizes errors, maintains consistency, and saves you time on manual proofreading.
8Does the plugin generate images for posts?
Yes, AI Publisher automatically generates a custom featured image for every post. After the article is finalized, the plugin uses your brand guidelines and the content itself to create a detailed image prompt, then calls OpenAI’s DALL·E model to produce a unique visual. The generated image is automatically added to your Media Library and set as the post’s featured image, ensuring every post is visually engaging and consistent with your brand style ,without the need for manual design work.
9Can I schedule automatic content publishing?
Yes, AI Publisher allows you to schedule automatic content publishing. You can configure the plugin to generate and publish new posts at your chosen frequency, such as a set number of posts per day or per week. This automated scheduling ensures a consistent flow of fresh content on your site, helping you maintain an active publishing calendar without manual intervention. You can also switch to manual mode whenever you prefer full control over the timing of each post.
10What are the OpenAI API costs per post?
The approximate OpenAI API cost per generated post is $0.08. This includes about $0.06 for creating a featured image using DALL·E and $0.02 for generating the blog content with the language model. Actual costs may vary slightly depending on post length and image complexity, but these figures provide a reliable estimate for most users.
11How long does it take to generate a post?
On average, generating a complete post, including content, image, and quality assurance, takes around 5 minutes. This processing time ensures the highest quality output, as each post is carefully crafted, thoroughly checked for originality and brand alignment, and paired with a custom image. AI Publisher prioritizes quality over speed to deliver results you can trust.
12Which social media platforms are supported for sharing?
AI Publisher supports sharing to LinkedIn, Facebook, and X (Twitter). The plugin generates optimized, QA-checked posts tailored for each of these platforms, ensuring that your content meets each network’s formatting rules and best practices. You can quickly promote any WordPress post or page across these major channels with consistent, on-brand messaging.
13Can I edit social posts before sharing?
Yes, you can edit social posts before sharing. After AI Publisher generates a platform-specific social share for LinkedIn, Facebook, or X (Twitter), you have the option to review and modify the hook, body, hashtags, and call-to-action as needed. The preview appears in an editable format, giving you full control to adjust the message before publishing it to your social channels.
14How does the plugin integrate with existing WordPress content?
AI Publisher automatically analyzes and imports your site’s existing content, including posts, pages, categories, and tags, to inform and guide the creation of new posts. It uses this data to ensure that generated content is contextually relevant, avoids duplicating topics, and fills gaps in your content library. This seamless integration helps maintain consistency across your site and leverages your current structure to improve content strategy and SEO effectiveness.
15Is there a limit to the number of posts generated per day?
Yes, AI Publisher enforces smart limits to ensure stable performance and consistent quality when running on automatic publishing. You can schedule up to 24 posts per day, with a maximum of 70 posts per week in automatic mode. This allows you to maintain a steady, reliable publishing cadence without risking server overload or content quality drops. If you want to generate more content, you can always switch to manual mode, there are no restrictions on the number of posts you can create or review manually. This gives you full flexibility to match your content needs, whether you’re scaling up production or taking a more hands-on approach..
16Are there any content restrictions with AI Publisher?
Yes, AI Publisher enforces strict content guidelines and will not generate content related to adult entertainment (porn), gambling, liquor, or LGBT topics. These restrictions are in place to ensure compliance with platform policies and maintain responsible use of AI-powered publishing. If you attempt to generate content in any of these categories, the plugin will automatically block the request and notify you of the restriction.
17Will the plugin work with my existing SEO tools like Yoast or Rank Math?
Yes, AI Publisher is fully compatible with popular SEO plugins like Yoast and Rank Math. While AI Publisher automatically optimizes your posts for SEO, you can still use your existing SEO tools for further refinement, meta management, advanced schema, or sitewide settings. The content generated by AI Publisher follows best practices for SEO structure and formatting, so it integrates smoothly into your current workflow without any conflicts.
18Do I still need a human editor?
While AI Publisher automates content generation, SEO optimization, image creation, and multi-step quality assurance, having a human editor is still valuable, especially for sites with high editorial standards or specialized subject matter. A human review adds an extra layer of nuance, catches context-specific issues, and ensures every post aligns perfectly with your goals and preferences. AI Publisher dramatically reduces manual effort, but ultimate editorial control and approval remain with you.
19How does the plugin ensure content is on-brand?
AI Publisher ensures every piece of content is on-brand by using your custom brand guidelines, which you define in the Content Strategy Builder. These guidelines include your brand’s tone, messaging pillars, target audience, and core values. The AI follows these settings when generating content, and an automated QA step reviews each draft for alignment with your brand voice and messaging before publishing. This process guarantees that every post and social share consistently reflects your brand identity.
20What happens if the AI makes a mistake?
If the AI makes a mistake, you can review and edit the content before publishing. Every draft generated by AI Publisher goes through an automated QA process to catch most errors and issues, but you always have the option to make manual corrections. The plugin is designed to give you full editorial control, so nothing is published without your final approval.
21Can I use my own OpenAI API key or is it bundled?
You must use your own OpenAI API key with AI Publisher. The plugin does not provide or bundle access to the OpenAI API. This approach gives you complete control over your API usage, removes limits on the number of posts you can generate, and ensures your content generation is entirely private, never influenced by requests from other users. All content and images are generated securely through your own OpenAI account.
22Does the plugin support multiple languages?
Currently, AI Publisher supports content generation in English only. Support for additional languages is coming soon and is a top priority on our upcoming features list.
