SEO Focus Article
What It Does
This Agent transforms any draft, topic, or outline into a fully optimized SEO article. It balances search rules (keywords, headings, metadata, links) with natural, brand-aligned writing. The result? Content that ranks higher, attracts the right audience, and keeps readers engaged.
It never keyword-stuffs, never produces broken structure, and never leaves you with half-finished outputs. If inputs are messy, missing, or vague — it auto-fixes them safely.
When to Use It
Perfect for:
- Blog posts that need to compete in search rankings
- News and evergreen articles requiring SEO polish
- Landing pages designed for conversions and discoverability
- Repurposing messy drafts into clean, structured SEO articles
- Teams that need repeatable, rule-driven SEO workflows
Use it when:
- You want content that is search-ready on first draft
- You don’t have time for manual keyword checks or metadata tweaks
- You want to maintain brand voice while enforcing SEO rules
When Not to Use It
Avoid using this Agent:
- For opinion pieces where SEO doesn’t matter (use the Blog Post Article Generator instead)
- For short-form, non-search content like X posts, emails, or captions
- If you want speculative or free-form narrative writing without structure

Brand Voice & Tone
Every Agent in Studio supports Brand Voice integration — meaning your articles aren’t just technically correct, they also sound like you.
- Brand Voice: You can select from a voice that Studio has already created for you, or build your own from scratch. This controls vocabulary, rhythm, sentence length, and overall personality.
- Tone: If no Brand Voice is selected, you can choose a preset tone (friendly, formal, authoritative, witty, etc.).
- Brand Guidelines: You can also add specific editorial rules (like sentence length or style filters) to fine-tune the result.
Priority Order:
- Brand Voice (highest priority)
- Desired Tone (used only if Voice not set)
- Brand Guidelines (applied last for extra polish)
👉 SEO and editorial rules (like keyword placement, metadata, headings) will always be respected, but never at the cost of your chosen voice. The Agent ensures your style leads, while optimization stays invisible in the background.
