Programmatic Articles

Programmatic articles are the core of Ryze’s on-page engine: long-tail landing pages, planned from your data, written in full, and published to your CMS. Each one targets a real keyword and points readers toward the pages you want to rank. Find them under Programmatic in the SEO sidebar.

​

The two pools

Topics are planned into two pools so coverage is both focused and wide:

• Pool A — priority-anchored. Topics built around your priority keywords and the products that matter most, to drive traffic and links to your key pages.
• Pool B — open. Topics that expand into adjacent demand — mined from your Search Console impressions, competitor gaps, and AI brainstorming across your wider catalog.

Each planned topic carries a real keyword, search volume, and difficulty — nothing invented.

​

Article statuses

You’ll see articles move through states, available as tabs:

​

Generate an article

On a Planned article, click Generate. Ryze writes the full piece:

• Body — a complete article (500+ words).
• Meta title and meta description — for search snippets.
• Featured image — selected automatically and uploaded.

It runs in the background — the draft is ready in a few minutes, and the article moves to Drafted.

​

Review and edit a draft

Before publishing, click Edit to refine anything. The Edit draft dialog lets you change:

• Title and slug
• Meta title and meta description
• Body (Markdown — the same content that gets published)
• Scheduled date
• Featured image (replace or remove)

​

Scheduling

Every article is planned with a publish date. Ryze spreads new articles out automatically — around five a day — so your content rolls out at a steady pace instead of landing all at once. You control the timing from the Edit draft dialog:

• Move a date. Change the Scheduled date to publish an article sooner or later.
• Stack a day. Point several articles at the same date for a bigger drop — the daily publisher sends everything that’s due, not a fixed five.

When auto-publish is on, each day Ryze publishes every article whose date has arrived — today or earlier — and lets future-dated ones wait their turn. With auto-publish off, you publish each due draft yourself with Publish now.

​

Content calendar

Click Calendar view on the Programmatic page to see the whole plan laid out by day, color-coded by type. It’s the fastest way to spot empty days or pile-ups and rebalance dates by editing an article’s scheduled date. The same calendar covers your off-page mentions — open it with Calendar view on the Mentions page too.

​

Publish

On a Drafted article, click Publish now. Ryze pushes it to your connected store or CMS and, once live, pings Google to index the new URL. The article moves to Published with a link to the live page.

​

Where it publishes

Supported targets: What gets pushed: the article HTML, meta title and description, slug, excerpt, and the featured image. Connect a CMS under your integrations first — without one, there’s nowhere to publish.

​

Choose the publish target

With several CMS connected, pick which one receives your articles in Content settings on the Programmatic page:

• Publish to — the connected CMS that receives generated articles. With a single CMS connected, it’s used automatically.
• Override blog URL (optional) — for headless setups (like GitHub) where articles live at a different public address than the CMS itself. Set it and Ryze uses that address for live links, indexing pings, and liveness checks.

​

Manual vs automatic

• Manual — you click Publish now on each draft.
• Automatic — when auto-publish is on, Ryze publishes drafts on schedule (by their assigned date), at a steady daily pace rather than all at once. Set or change a draft’s date in the edit dialog.
