Content Creation
penr.ai's Content Studio allows you to generate, refine, and optimize articles in minutes.
Content Generation
Generate from Keywords
- Navigate to Content > Generate
- Select a keyword from your approved list, or enter a custom keyword
- Optionally select a target site for site-specific content settings
- Click Generate
The AI will create:
- An SEO-optimized Title (H1) and URL slug
- A compelling Meta Title and Description
- A full article with proper header structure (H1, H2, H3)
- A relevant featured image and thumbnail
Better context: intake fields
Below the main form you'll find two optional fields that meaningfully improve article quality:
- Desired action at the end of the article — for example "request a demo" or "sign up for our newsletter". The AI weaves this subtly into the conclusion instead of a generic "click here".
- Source URLs — one URL per line (max 5, http(s) only). The AI fetches the text of these pages and uses it as research context. Not copied verbatim, but the facts, numbers, and specific terms that are actually on your own pages.
Both fields are optional but produce noticeably better articles — especially when you have product names or company specifics the AI would otherwise have to invent.

Content Status Workflow

- Draft: Initial state after generation
- Approved: Ready for publishing (requires manual approval if enabled)
- Scheduled: Set to publish at a future date/time
- Published: Live on your connected sites
Status Actions
- Approve: Move draft to approved
- Unapprove: Return approved content to draft

Publishing Content
When your content is ready, you can publish it to one or more connected sites.
Publishing Wizard
- Open your content and click Publish
- Select the target sites from your connected sites list
- Each site shows its publication status:
- New: Content will be created as a new article
- Will update: Content already exists on this site and will be updated
- Click Publish to send to selected sites
Updating Published Content
penr.ai automatically links your content with articles on external platforms. This means:
- First publish: Creates a new article on the CMS
- Republish after edits: Updates the existing article (no duplicates!)
The system tracks each article's external ID, so when you edit and republish:
- Changes are pushed to the existing article
- The same URL is preserved
- No duplicate content is created
Publication Status
After publishing, results show:
- Created: A new article was created on the site
- Updated: An existing article was updated
- Direct link to view the published article
You can see when content was last published or updated per site in the publishing wizard.

penr.ai allows you to schedule content for future publication.
Manual Scheduling
