Auto-Publish

AI Content Writer That Actually Publishes to Your Website

Most AI writers stop at "generate." You still have to edit, format, add images, optimize meta tags, and manually upload to your CMS. FirstSearch does all of that, then publishes the finished article directly to your site.

The Problem: AI Writers That Stop at "Generate"

AI writing tools have made it faster to produce text, but they only solve one piece of the content puzzle. After the AI generates a draft, you still need to:

  • Edit and refine the output for accuracy and tone
  • Write meta titles and descriptions manually
  • Find or create a featured image
  • Add heading structure and formatting
  • Create FAQ sections and schema markup
  • Set up Open Graph and social sharing data
  • Copy everything into your CMS
  • Configure categories, tags, and publish settings
  • Hit "Publish"

For a single article, that post-generation work takes 2-4 hours. If you're producing 30 blog posts per month, you're looking at 60-120 hours of manual work, even with an AI writer. That is almost a full-time job.

The bottleneck was never the writing. It is everything that comes after. FirstSearch solves this by handling the full pipeline from keyword research to published article on your website.

Tools That Generate vs. Tools That Publish

There is a fundamental difference between AI tools that create text and AI tools that deliver finished content to your website.

Generate Only

These tools produce text. You handle everything else.

ChatGPTGenerate text, copy-paste to CMS
JasperGenerate + basic SEO, manual publish
Copy.aiGenerate marketing copy, manual publish
WritesonicGenerate articles, manual publish
KoalaGenerate + some SEO, manual publish

You still need to: edit output, add SEO metadata, create images, format content, upload to CMS, and hit publish.

Generate + Publish

Full pipeline from keyword research to published article.

FirstSearchResearch, write, optimize, publish
Keyword research (automated)
Article writing (3,000-5,000 words)
SEO optimization (meta, schema, links)
Image generation (AI-created)
CMS publishing (webhook delivery)

How Auto-Publishing Works

1

Article is Generated

The system writes a complete article targeting a specific keyword, with full heading structure, FAQ section, and original data.

2

SEO Metadata is Added

Meta title, meta description, FAQ schema, Article schema, Open Graph tags, and Twitter card data are generated and attached.

3

Images are Created

An AI-generated featured image and section illustrations are produced and hosted on a CDN for fast loading.

4

Webhook Delivers Everything

A single POST request sends the complete payload (content, images, metadata, schema, categories, tags) to your CMS endpoint.

5

Article Appears on Your Site

Your CMS receives the data and creates the post. Depending on your configuration, it either publishes immediately or saves as a draft for your review.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'AI content writer that publishes' mean?

It means the AI does not just generate text for you to copy and paste. It creates the full article (content, images, SEO metadata, schema markup) and delivers it directly to your website via webhook or API. The article appears on your site without any manual steps from you.

How does auto-publishing work technically?

FirstSearch sends a POST request to your webhook URL containing the full article payload: HTML content, meta title, meta description, featured image URL, FAQ schema, Open Graph data, categories, and tags. Your CMS receives this data and creates the post. For WordPress, we also support direct WordPress REST API integration.

What CMS platforms support auto-publishing?

Any platform that can receive webhook POST requests works with FirstSearch. This includes WordPress (via webhook or REST API), Webflow, Shopify, Ghost, Squarespace, and any custom CMS with an API endpoint. If your platform can accept a JSON payload, FirstSearch can publish to it.

Can I review articles before they go live on my site?

Yes. You can configure your webhook endpoint to save articles as drafts instead of publishing them immediately. Many WordPress users set their webhook to create draft posts, review them in the WordPress editor, then click publish when ready.

How is this different from Jasper or Copy.ai?

Jasper and Copy.ai are text generators. They produce content that you then need to edit, format, add images to, optimize for SEO, and manually upload to your CMS. FirstSearch handles the full pipeline from keyword research through published article. You do not touch the content at any point unless you choose to review drafts.

What happens if my webhook is temporarily down?

FirstSearch retries failed webhook deliveries with exponential backoff. If your endpoint is temporarily unavailable, the system will attempt delivery again multiple times over the following hours. You can also manually trigger a re-publish from your FirstSearch dashboard at any time.
