Five steps to writing SEO blog content fast with AI

Executive overview

Most people who want to blog lack time, not ideas. ContentShake AI combines OpenAI generation with SEMrush's keyword data to produce optimised articles in minutes rather than hours.

Raw AI output still needs a human pass for accuracy, brand fit, and tone. Once edited, you can publish to WordPress and generate social posts from the same interface.

The five steps

1. Set up keywords — enter terms describing your niche (e.g. "mid-century modern interior design") in ContentShake Settings, separated by commas.
2. Pick a content idea — the tool generates article titles with two signals: intent (informational, commercial, transactional, navigational) and efficiency (traffic potential vs. ranking effort). Choose high-efficiency, informational ideas.
3. Generate the article — select a sub-idea and click "Start writing." ContentShake drafts a full SEO article, pulls in relevant Unsplash images, and targets your chosen keywords.
4. Edit with a human touch — read the draft before publishing. Use the built-in AI chat to rewrite sections via prompt (e.g. "give me a list of essential elements for mid-century modern living rooms") or type directly in the editor.
5. Publish and promote — connect WordPress via plugin for one-click publishing. Use the social post generator to create platform-specific posts (choose network, tone, and purpose) from the same article.
