Spyro’s Content Engine produces long-form, GEO-optimized articles engineered from the ground up to earn citations from AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini. Every article is grounded in your topical map and competitor gap data, structured to meet AI citation signals, and enriched with schema markup, internal links, and a premium AI-generated featured image — all before it reaches your CMS.

​
What the Content Engine Produces

Each article generated by Spyro is a complete, publish-ready asset. A standard output includes:
  • 2,500–3,000 words of substantive, topically authoritative content
  • Answer-first hook — the article opens with a direct, quotable answer to the primary query so AI engines can extract it immediately
  • Citable quotes — key claims are written as standalone, attribution-ready statements that AI engines are more likely to surface verbatim
  • Schema markup — Article, FAQPage, and HowTo schema is injected automatically based on content structure
  • Semantic internal links — Spyro maps relevant links to other pages on your site and inserts them naturally within the article body
  • External authority links — citations to high-authority external sources strengthen the article’s credibility signals
  • Premium AI-generated featured image — a relevant, high-quality image is created and attached automatically; no stock photo hunting required

​
How Articles Are Generated

The Content Engine doesn’t generate random articles. Every topic comes from one of two sources:
  1. Your topical map — the 30-day content plan built by the SEO Audit, prioritized by citation opportunity and silo coverage
  2. Your gap list — topics identified in Competitor Gap Analysis where rivals earn citations and rankings that you currently don’t
Topics move through the engine in a daily queue. On the Pro plan, Spyro produces 30 articles per month — one per day — working through your prioritized queue automatically when Autopilot is enabled.

How to Generate an Article Manually

1

Open the Content Queue

Navigate to Content Engine → Queue in the Spyro dashboard. You’ll see all topics currently queued for generation, organized by silo and priority.
2

Select a topic or add your own

Click any queued topic to generate it immediately, or click Add Topic to enter a custom keyword or subject outside the automated queue.
3

Review generation settings

Confirm the target keyword, silo assignment, and content type (guide, comparison, FAQ, etc.). Adjust if needed, then click Generate Article.
4

Wait for the draft

Generation typically takes 2–4 minutes. When complete, the article appears in Content Engine → Drafts with a status of “Ready for Review.”
5

Review the draft

Open the draft to read the full article, check the schema markup, review the internal link suggestions, and inspect the featured image. Make any edits directly in the Spyro editor.
6

Publish or queue for Autopilot

Click Publish Now to send the article to your CMS immediately, or click Add to Schedule to include it in the next Autopilot publishing slot.

​
Review Before Publishing

All generated articles land in a draft queue before they go anywhere near your CMS. This gives you a chance to check the content, make edits, and approve it for publishing — or you can enable fully automated publishing and let Autopilot handle the entire pipeline without manual review.
AI-generated content is a high-quality starting point, not a finished product. Always review articles for factual accuracy, brand voice, and any claims that require verification before enabling fully automated publishing. Spyro optimizes for citation structure and topical depth; you are the expert on what is accurate for your business.
Every article includes a featured image generated automatically by Spyro’s image pipeline. Images are created to match the article’s topic and tone, sized correctly for your CMS, and attached to the post at publish time. You can replace the generated image with your own at any point in the draft review stage.
If you’re generating articles for a highly regulated industry (finance, healthcare, legal), build a review step into your workflow before enabling Autopilot. Use the draft queue as your quality gate — approve articles in batches and schedule them out across the week.
