Topic plans

Stop posting at random. Own the whole topic.

RankFlow plans one big guide on your main topic and smaller articles around it, each outlined from what ranks on Google today. You approve the plan before a single word is written.

Why it matters

A blog of one-off posts covers a bit of everything and nothing completely. A planned set of linked articles on one subject shows Google your site knows it in depth.

RankFlow plans that set for you: one big guide on each main topic, smaller articles that each answer one exact question, linked both ways once published. Every outline follows what searchers expect, because RankFlow reads the pages ranking now.

Nothing is written until you approve it. The plan is yours to check and change; the research and outlining are RankFlow's job.

Topic plans

How it works

  1. 01

    Start from wherever you are

    Type a topic, give a handful of keywords, or start from keyword research or a competitor gap. Every new topic starts as a draft.

    You do

    Bring a topic or keywords

  2. 02

    Or get a plan for the whole site

    The SEO brief studies your market, your competitors and what's already on your site, then proposes a content plan that doesn't repeat what you have. Only what you accept goes in.

    You do

    Accept what you want

  3. 03

    A big guide and the articles around it

    For each main topic RankFlow proposes the guide and smaller articles, each with its keyword, based on your niche, what you already publish and, for a store, your products. Broad topics get more articles.

    RankFlow does

    Drafts the guide and its articles

  4. 04

    Outlines built on what ranks today

    Before each outline, RankFlow reads Google's top results for that keyword and places the questions people ask where they'll be answered. Headings are checked so no two articles answer the same question.

    RankFlow does

    Reads the top results first

  5. 05

    Approve, then write in the right order

    Edit any outline or ask for a new one, then approve. The guide is written first so the smaller articles can link to it, and links go both ways after publishing.

    You do

    Approve and choose what's first

What you get

A plan organised by topic

Every main topic with its guide and smaller articles, and one clear next step for each.

An outline for every article

Headings with the keywords and questions each section must cover, based on what ranks for that keyword. The writer follows it.

An SEO brief for your whole site

Competitors, local SEO, technical issues, keywords, existing content, AI search and an action plan to tick off, with real Search Console and Site Health numbers when connected. Download it as a PDF.

A writing list with clear status

See at a glance what's being written, what's ready and what's scheduled.

Works on its own. You stay in charge.

Runs on its own

  • Links that tie the topic together

    When an article goes live, RankFlow links it with the rest of its topic: the guide to every smaller article and back. Only published articles are touched.

  • Your site re-read after a brief

    After an SEO brief, RankFlow reads your site again so new plans know what you already cover, unless it did so in the last 7 days.

Always your decision

  • What enters the plan

    Proposals stay proposals until you accept them. Rejected ones stay out.

  • Every outline

    You approve a topic only after reading its outlines, and only approved articles get written.

  • Order and timing

    You decide what's written first and when it's scheduled, or hand that to Autopilot. Planning never publishes anything.

What you need

  • Advanced writing mode

    Topic plans and the SEO brief are part of Advanced mode. In Simple mode, every article stands on its own.

  • A connected site, for the brief

    The brief reads the posts and pages already on your site through the WordPress plugin or a Custom REST API. Search Console, Site Health and your product catalog add real data when connected.

  • Keywords, optional

    Your saved keywords and questions are used when you have them. Without them, the plan starts from your own keywords and the brief.

Plans and allowances

In every plan

AI work counts toward your plan's monthly limits. You always see how much is left, and you can request more whenever you need it.

The guide answers the main question in depth; each smaller article takes one narrower question that would make the guide too long. Linked both ways, they show Google you cover the whole subject and let readers go from overview to detail.

RankFlow guards against it: outlines within a topic are checked for repeated headings, and brief proposals are compared with what's already on your site.

Yes. Build one by hand, edit a generated one or ask for a new one with a short instruction.

No. A topic can start from your own keywords, keyword research or a competitor gap. The brief adds the big picture: what you have, what competitors cover and a plan sized to how much you publish.

No. Approved articles are written when you or Autopilot start them, and go live only when they're booked on the calendar.
