SEO Content Engine

An automated content generation pipeline that produces SEO-optimized SaaS review articles on a schedule, publishes to a Hugo blog, and tracks everything in Google Sheets.

Problem

Building organic search traffic requires consistent, high-quality content. Manually researching, writing, and publishing SEO articles is time-consuming. Most SaaS review sites need 2-4 articles per week to compete — that's hours of work daily.

This engine automates the entire pipeline: topic selection, article generation, blog publishing, and tracking.

What It Does

1. Topic Selection — Randomly selects from 18 SaaS tools and 4 content types (reviews, comparisons, best-of guides, how-to guides)
2. AI Article Generation — Uses OpenAI GPT-4o to write 1,500-2,500 word SEO articles with proper headings, pros/cons, pricing, and recommendations
3. Hugo Formatting — Adds frontmatter (title, date, categories, tags, affiliate links) for Hugo static site publishing
4. Blog Publishing — Pushes the formatted post to a Hugo blog via admin API
5. Sheet Tracking — Logs every published article (slug, date, category, tool, status) in Google Sheets
6. Owner Notification — Sends email alert when a new article is published for review
