🏆

Gamification

Onboarding Steps

Follow this sequence the first time you set up Draftto.

1

Create your account

Go to the Register page, enter your email and password, then verify your email address. You have a 48-hour grace window to explore before email verification is enforced on AI generation features.
2

Create your first Workspace

Workspaces are the top-level container for all your content. Click New Workspace on the Workspaces page and give it a name (e.g. your website or brand name).
3

Connect content sources

Inside your workspace, add RSS Feeds (for auto-article generation from news/blogs) and/or Search Seeds (for Google News / Search-based ideas). You need at least one source to start generating.
4

Configure Settings

Go to Settings → Workspace to add your WordPress endpoint and credentials if you want auto-publishing. Optionally add your own AI API keys (Anthropic / OpenAI) to use your own quota.
5

Generate your first article

Go to Articles and click Generate. Pick a source (feed item, search seed, or keyword), confirm the title and prompt, then watch the AI write it. Review, score, and publish.
6

Connect social accounts

For X (Twitter) posts and outreach, go to Settings → Connections and authorize your X account via OAuth. For Instagram, connect your account the same way.
7

Explore the Dashboard

The Dashboard shows your daily streak, XP level, article counts, and upcoming scheduled posts at a glance. Use it as your daily starting point.

Workspaces

A workspace is a project container that groups feeds, seeds, keywords, articles, social posts, and WordPress credentials together. Think of one workspace per website or brand.

Creating a Workspace

1

Navigate to Workspaces

Click Workspaces in the left navigation bar.
2

Click "New Workspace"

Enter a name and optional description. Each workspace is fully isolated from others.
3

Open the workspace detail

Click on the workspace card to open its detail view, which contains tabs for Feeds, Seeds, Keywords, Silos, and Settings.

Workspace Tabs

Tab	Purpose
Feeds	Manage RSS feeds that act as article source material.
Seeds	Keyword and search seeds that drive article topic discovery.
Keywords	DataForSEO-powered keyword research and LSI terms. Pro
Silos	Pillar-and-cluster content architectures. Enterprise
Settings	WordPress credentials, AI provider keys, and workspace preferences.

Account & Settings

General Settings

→
Change your display name and email address.
→
Update your password at any time.
→
Manage notification preferences.

Workspace Settings

Inside a workspace, the Settings tab lets you configure:

→
WordPress URL + App Password — the endpoint Draftto uses to auto-publish articles to your WordPress site.
→
Anthropic API Key — bring your own Claude key to use your own token quota instead of the platform key.
→
OpenAI API Key — same as above for GPT-4o generation.
→
Image providers — Stability AI, Replicate, and Pexels credentials for AI-generated or stock featured images.
→
X (Twitter) OAuth — connect your X account for posting and outreach.
→
Instagram credentials — connect your Instagram account for post publishing.

💡

If you don't add your own AI keys, Draftto uses its platform key and deducts from your plan's monthly generation credits.

Articles Free

Articles are the core output of Draftto. Each article is AI-written, SEO-scored, and ready to publish to WordPress or download.

Generating an Article

1

Open Articles

Click Articles in the sidebar. You'll see a list of all articles across all workspaces.
2

Click "Generate"

A dialog opens. Choose your source: Feed item (from an RSS feed), Search Seed (from a Google search), Keyword Seed, or a custom topic.
3

4

Watch it generate

The article streams in real time. A live progress indicator shows which section is being written.

ℹ️

The editor auto-saves your changes. You don't need to press Save manually — changes are persisted after a short debounce.

Content Silos Enterprise

A content silo is a hierarchical cluster of related articles built around a single pillar topic. Silos improve topical authority and internal linking for SEO.

Silo Structure

🏛️

Pillar Article

The authoritative overview of the main topic. Links out to all sub-pillars.

📑

Sub-Pillar Articles

Deepen specific angles of the pillar. Link to related clusters and back to the pillar.

📄

Cluster Articles

Long-tail, highly specific articles. Link up to sub-pillars and pillar.

Creating a Silo

1

Open your workspace → Silos tab

Click Plan New Silo.
2

Enter your pillar topic

Example: "Sustainable Home Gardening". Draftto will plan an entire Pillar + Sub-Pillar + Cluster hierarchy automatically.
3

Review the plan

Inspect the proposed article titles and structure. Approve or edit before generating.
4

Generate all articles

Draftto bulk-generates every article in order, inserting internal-link placeholders as it goes.

⚠️

Only one silo generation can run at a time per workspace. Starting a second generation while one is in progress is blocked.

Publishing Silos

You can publish the entire silo to WordPress at once, either live (public) or as drafts for review before going live. Choose the publish mode in the silo settings.

AEO Scoring — Answer Engine Optimization Free

AEO Score measures how likely an article is to be quoted or cited by AI answer engines (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Bing AI). A higher score means the content is more structured, authoritative, and quotable.

AEO Dimensions

Dimension	What it measures
Direct Answer	Does the article answer the target question clearly and early?
FAQ Coverage	Are related questions addressed in a Q&A format?
Concrete Data	Are stats, numbers, and evidence present?
Structure & Scannability	Headings, lists, and tables that AI can parse.
Authority Signals	Author bio, citations, publication date.
Content Depth	Sufficient word count and topical coverage.

How to use the AEO scorer

1

Open an article in the editor

Click the AEO Score tab in the right panel.
2

View dimension scores

Each dimension shows a score and specific, actionable feedback on what to improve.
3

Click "AI Fix"

Draftto generates a repaired version of the article with improved AEO signals. Review the diff and apply or discard.

💡

The public /aeo-score page lets anyone audit any URL for AEO quality — no login required. Share it with clients or link to it from your blog.

GEO Scoring — Generative Engine Optimization Pro

GEO Score measures how well an article is positioned to appear in AI-generated search results (Google SGE, Bing Copilot, Perplexity). It goes deeper than AEO by evaluating trust signals and citation potential.

GEO Dimensions

Dimension	What it measures
EEAT Signals	Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, Trustworthiness indicators.
External Citations	Links to authoritative third-party sources (verified server-side).
Statistical Evidence	Verifiable statistics, surveys, and studies.
Content Depth	Comprehensive coverage without fluff.
Structured Markup	Schema.org, FAQ, and HowTo markup potential.
Freshness	Recency signals in the content.

GEO Repair

The AI repair tool for GEO is Enterprise-only. It rewrites sections of the article to improve EEAT signals, insert verified citations, and add statistical evidence. Citation URLs are verified server-side before being inserted — hallucinated URLs are automatically filtered out.

ℹ️

New users who import an article from a URL get one free GEO repair to experience the feature before upgrading.

Keyword Intelligence Pro

The Keywords tab inside a workspace connects to DataForSEO to give you real search-volume data, LSI keyword suggestions, competitor benchmarks, and People Also Ask (PAA) questions.

Features

→
Search volume — monthly global and local search volume for any keyword.
→
LSI keywords — semantically related terms to include for topical depth.
→
Competitor benchmarking — see what competing URLs rank for and their estimated traffic.
→
People Also Ask — Google PAA questions pulled live via DataForSEO SERP.
→
Keyword density analysis — checks your article for proper keyword saturation without over-optimization.

ℹ️

Keyword data is powered by DataForSEO. Check the keyword-data status endpoint at GET /api/workspaces/:id/keyword-data-status to confirm the integration is active.

X (Twitter) Posts Free

Generate, edit, schedule, and publish posts or threads to X directly from Draftto.

Creating an X Post

1

Go to X Posts

Click X Posts in the sidebar.
2

Click "Generate"

Choose to generate from an existing article or write a custom prompt. Select single post or thread format.
3

Edit the draft

The post editor shows character counts per tweet and lets you rearrange thread items.
4

Publish or Schedule

Post immediately, or use the SchedulePicker to choose a date and time slot. The scheduler shows upcoming content density so you can avoid posting clusters.

Schedule Picker

The SchedulePicker shows a 2-week calendar strip with colored dots indicating scheduled content density:

⚫
Black dot — X post scheduled that day.
🟣
Purple dot — Instagram post scheduled that day.
🔵
Blue dot — Article scheduled that day.

Click a day to see all items already scheduled. Five preset time slots are offered (9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm) with amber highlight when a slot is near an existing item.

X Outreach Enterprise

X Outreach runs automated engagement campaigns on X. The AI discovers relevant tweets, evaluates them for fit, and drafts replies or quote posts on your behalf — all with configurable approval controls.

Campaign Setup

1

Create a Campaign

Name the campaign and configure its source: keyword search or home timeline monitoring.
2

Set discovery keywords

Enter the search keywords Draftto should monitor on X. You can also filter by language so only relevant-language tweets are picked up.
3

Configure AI reply style

Set the tone, persona, and any constraints for the AI-written replies.
4

Set approval mode

Choose Auto-send (fully automated) or Manual approval (replies queue for your review before sending).
5

Activate the campaign

Toggle the campaign to active. Draftto will poll for new tweets and process them on its schedule.

Campaign Stats

→
Total replies sent this week.
→
Reply rate (sent vs. discovered tweets).
→
Queued replies awaiting manual approval.
→
Campaign source badge (keyword search vs. home timeline).

⚠️

Daily cap: outreach respects a per-day send limit to avoid X rate-limit violations. Campaigns auto-pause when the daily cap is reached and resume the next day.

Instagram Posts Pro

Generate AI-assisted Instagram posts (image + caption) and publish them directly from Draftto.

Creating an Instagram Post

1

Go to Instagram Posts

Click Instagram Posts in the sidebar.
2

Generate from article or custom prompt

The AI drafts a caption optimised for Instagram engagement, plus suggests hashtags.
3

Select or generate an image

Use AI image generation (Stability AI / Replicate) or search Pexels for a matching photo.
4

Schedule or publish

Post immediately or use the SchedulePicker to schedule. The calendar view shows all upcoming posts.

Scheduling

Draftto has a unified scheduling system that works across Articles, X Posts, and Instagram Posts.

How Scheduling Works

→
Any content item can be scheduled from its editor or list view using the SchedulePicker.
→
The SchedulePicker fetches a live 2-week density map so you can see what is already queued each day.
→
Five preset time slots (9 am, 12 pm, 3 pm, 6 pm, 9 pm) are offered for quick scheduling. A custom time input is also available.
→
The API endpoint GET /api/workspaces/:id/schedule?from=YYYY-MM-DD&to=YYYY-MM-DD returns all scheduled items in the date range.

💡

Time slots highlighted in amber already have a nearby item scheduled. Spread your posts across different slots to maximise reach.

RSS Feeds

Feeds are RSS/Atom sources that Draftto monitors for new content. Each new feed item can be turned into an article with one click.

Adding a Feed

1

Open your workspace → Feeds tab

Click Add Feed.
2

Enter a URL

Paste a website URL or RSS feed URL. Draftto runs automatic feed discovery to find the RSS endpoint even if you paste the homepage URL.
3

Confirm and save

Draftto validates the feed and starts polling for new items.

ℹ️

Feed discovery uses a multi-strategy approach: it tries common RSS paths, parses <link rel="alternate"> tags, and checks known CDN patterns to find a valid feed even from a bare domain URL.

Search Seeds

Search Seeds are keywords or phrases that Draftto queries on Google Search / Google News to find trending topics for article generation.

Adding a Search Seed

1

Open your workspace → Seeds tab

Click Add Seed.
2

Enter a keyword

Example: "electric vehicle charging". Draftto will search Google for fresh results around this topic.
3

Generate from results

Draftto surfaces the top Google results for that seed. Pick one and click Generate Article to turn it into AI-written content.

WordPress Integration

Draftto publishes articles directly to your WordPress site using the WordPress REST API and Application Passwords.

Setting Up WordPress

1

Create an Application Password in WordPress

In WordPress admin → Users → Profile, scroll to "Application Passwords", enter a name (e.g. "Draftto"), and click Add New Application Password. Copy the generated password.
2

Add credentials to Draftto

In your workspace's Settings tab, paste your WordPress site URL and the Application Password.
3

Publish from the editor

Open any article and click Publish to WordPress. Draftto sends the article as a Gutenberg-compatible block post, auto-assigns categories and tags, and sets the featured image.

WordPress Publish Options

→
Publish live — posts immediately as a public article.
→
Publish as draft — sends to WordPress in draft status for a final human review before going live.
→
Update existing post — re-pushes revised content to overwrite the current WordPress post body.
→
Category & tag suggestions — the AI suggests the best categories and tags based on the article content.
→
Featured image — select from AI-generated or stock images; Draftto uploads it to the WordPress media library automatically.

⚠️

Make sure the Application Password belongs to a WordPress user with the Author role or higher. Editor or Administrator is recommended for full category/tag management.

Analytics Pro

The Analytics page gives you a comprehensive view of content performance, generation cadence, and SEO score trends.

Available Metrics

→
Article volume over time — bar/line chart of articles generated per day/week/month.
→
SEO score distribution — histogram of AEO and GEO scores across all articles.
→
Publish rate — ratio of generated articles that were published to WordPress.
→
Social post cadence — X and Instagram post frequency over time.
