The Workflow Difference
Auto-Post requires your involvement at every step. FirstSearch runs end-to-end without you.
Step 1: Keyword Research
You research keywords yourself, then input them into Auto-Post manually.
FirstSearch analyzes your site, discovers competitors, and identifies 45 high-opportunity keywords automatically.
Step 2: Content Creation
Auto-Post generates content from your keywords. You review drafts and make edits.
FirstSearch writes 3,000-5,000 word articles with proper heading hierarchy, FAQ sections, and internal links. No review needed.
Step 3: SEO Optimization
Basic optimization. You handle schema markup, internal linking, and advanced SEO.
Every article includes meta tags, JSON-LD schema, FAQ schema, keyword targeting, and AI-generated images.
Step 4: Publishing
Auto-Post pushes to your CMS after you approve the content.
Articles publish automatically via webhook. One per day, no approval bottleneck.
The Real Cost of "Semi-Automated"
Auto-Post.io automates the writing step, but the rest still falls on you. You need to research keywords (1-2 hours/week), review and edit generated content (1-2 hours/week), and manage your publishing schedule.
At $50/hour for your time, that is $200-400/month in hidden labor costs on top of Auto-Post's subscription. Compare that with the true cost of SEO content across all options.
FirstSearch eliminates all of that. You spend zero time on content after the initial setup. The system discovers what to write about, creates the content, optimizes it for search engines, and delivers it to your CMS. That is the difference between a writing tool and a done-for-you content service.
Fully Automated Blogging for $99/Month
30 SEO-optimized articles per month. Keyword research, writing, images, and publishing included. No keywords to set, no content to review, no schedule to manage.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is FirstSearch different from Auto-Post.io?
The core difference is automation depth. Auto-Post.io requires you to provide keywords, review content, and approve before publishing. FirstSearch handles everything end-to-end: keyword discovery, article writing, SEO optimization, image generation, and publishing. You connect your site once and articles appear daily without any input from you.
Does Auto-Post.io do keyword research?
No. Auto-Post.io requires you to provide the keywords you want to target. You need to do keyword research separately using tools like Ahrefs, Semrush, or Google Keyword Planner. FirstSearch includes automated keyword research that analyzes your site, identifies your niche, finds competitors, and selects 45 high-opportunity keywords.
Do I need to edit articles before they publish with FirstSearch?
No. FirstSearch articles publish automatically without a review step. Each article is 3,000-5,000 words with proper SEO structure, heading hierarchy, FAQ sections, schema markup, and AI-generated images. The content is production-ready out of the box.
Can I use FirstSearch with WordPress like Auto-Post?
Yes. FirstSearch delivers articles via webhook, which works with WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, and any CMS that accepts incoming HTTP requests. You set up your webhook URL once, and all articles are delivered directly to your site.
How much time does Auto-Post save compared to FirstSearch?
Auto-Post.io reduces writing time but still requires 2-4 hours per week for keyword research, content review, editing, and approval. FirstSearch requires zero ongoing time. After the initial setup (connecting your website), everything runs automatically. That is the difference between semi-automated and fully automated.
Is FirstSearch more expensive than Auto-Post.io?
FirstSearch costs $99/month for 30 fully automated articles with keyword research, SEO optimization, and image generation included. When you factor in the time Auto-Post requires from you (keyword research, editing, review), plus the cost of SEO tools for keyword research, FirstSearch typically costs less in total.
