<Info>

## How Generation Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Gap context analysis">
    When you trigger generation, FAII analyzes:

    * The specific keyword and its intent
    * Which competitors are mentioned and what they say
    * The type of questions users ask about this topic
    * Your brand's positioning and value proposition
    * Existing content on your site (to avoid duplication)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Template selection">
    Based on the keyword pattern, FAII selects the best article format:

    | Keyword Pattern        | Template Selected |
    | ---------------------- | ----------------- |
    | "how to..."            | How-To Guide      |
    | "best \[category]"     | Listicle          |
    | "\[brand] vs \[brand]" | Comparison Post   |
    | Question format        | FAQ Article       |
    | Broad topic            | Deep Dive         |
    | Current event          | News/Update       |
  </Step>

  <Step title="Research and outline">
    The system researches the topic using current, verifiable information and creates a structured outline including:

    * Main heading and angle
    * Section breakdown (H2/H3 structure)
    * Key points to cover
    * Data and examples to include
  </Step>

  <Step title="Content writing">
    Full article generation with:

    * Natural, readable prose
    * Proper paragraph structure
    * Relevant examples and data points
    * Internal and external link suggestions
    * Call-to-action placement
  </Step>

  <Step title="SEO optimization">
    The article is optimized for search:

    * Title tag with primary keyword
    * Meta description with call-to-action
    * Keyword placement in headings and body
    * Proper heading hierarchy
    * Image alt text recommendations
  </Step>

  <Step title="AI citation optimization">
    Additional optimization for AI visibility:

    * Clear, factual statements AI can quote
    * Structured data (schema markup)
    * Question-answer format sections
    * Direct, authoritative claims
  </Step>

  <Step title="Quality review">
    Automated quality checks:

    * Grammar and readability scoring
    * Factual claim verification
    * Duplicate content check
    * Brand consistency check
    * SEO score validation
  </Step>
</Steps>

## After Generation

Once an article is generated, you can:

* **Preview** - Read the full article before publishing
* **Edit** - Modify any section, heading, or paragraph
* **Publish** - Send to WordPress immediately
* **Schedule** - Set a future publish date
* **Save as draft** - Keep in WordPress drafts for review
* **Regenerate** - Start fresh with different parameters
* **Discard** - Delete if not suitable

## Tips

* **Trust the gap data** - Articles generated from real gaps are more likely to improve your visibility than random topics
* **Start with high-priority gaps** - Close the biggest gaps first for maximum impact
