Seven tools to write and publish content faster

Executive overview

Keeping up with content demand requires speed without sacrificing quality. These seven tools cover the full workflow: ideation, writing, editing, design, and distribution. Each removes a specific bottleneck.

Speed comes from removing friction at every stage, not from doing any one thing faster.

The seven tools

1. Answer the Public — Surfaces real-time search queries by keyword. Enter a one- or two-word phrase to see exactly what your audience is searching for today.
2. Ubersuggest AI Writer — Rewrites or refreshes existing content. Keeps pages updated, which is a primary driver of sustained search rankings.
3. VistaCreate — Template-based social graphic creation. Replaces the need for a dedicated designer for standard social content.
4. Grammarly — Real-time grammar and spelling correction across email, blog posts, and social. Free tier covers most use cases.
5. Lumen5 — Converts blog posts into video. Serves platforms (YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, Instagram) that prioritise video over text.
6. Portent's Content Idea Generator — Generates blog titles and explains why specific words work. Useful for headline ideation and structure.
7. Hemingway App — Scores readability level and flags complexity. Aim for language a non-specialist can immediately understand; simpler content gets read, shared, and linked to more.
