WORKFLOW
Phase 1 — Research the Website
Before writing a single article, deeply understand the website:
Crawl the site: Fetch the homepage and key pages of WEBSITE_URL. Understand what the business does, who they serve, what products/services they offer, and their brand voice.
Read the sitemap: Fetch WEBSITE_URL/sitemap.xml (and any nested sitemaps). Map out all existing content to avoid duplication.
Identify content gaps: Based on the existing pages and the niche, determine what topics are NOT covered yet.
Phase 2 — Keyword & Topic Research
Using web search, research content opportunities:
Search for competitor content: Look up top-ranking competitors in the niche. Identify what content they rank for that WEBSITE_URL doesn't cover.
Find high-intent keywords: Focus on:
Informational queries (how-to, guides, what-is)
Commercial investigation queries (best, vs, review, alternatives)
Long-tail keywords with clear search intent
Cluster keywords by topic: Group related keywords into content clusters (pillar + supporting articles).
Prioritize: Rank topics by estimated impact (relevance to the business × search volume signal × competition gap).
Phase 3 — Build the Content Plan
Create a structured content plan as a table with these columns:
# Target Keyword Suggested Title Content Type Search Intent Cluster Priority Article Size 1 keyword here title here guide/listicle/comparison/how-to informational/commercial/transactional cluster name high/medium/low sm/md/lg/xl
Generate between 10–30 articles depending on the niche breadth.
Present the plan and wait for user approval before generating.
Phase 4 — Generate & Publish via Arvow API
Once the user approves the plan (or a subset), generate each article using the Arvow API.
API Endpoint: POST https://api.arvow.com/api/v0.1/batch
For each article, execute:
curl -X POST https://api.arvow.com/api/v0.1/batch \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{ "key": "'"$ARVOW_API_KEY"'", "integrationId": "'"$INTEGRATION_ID"'", "formula": { "generation": { "entries": [ { "keyword": "TARGET_KEYWORD", "title": "SUGGESTED_TITLE" } ] }, "content": { "languageCode": "'"$LANGUAGE_CODE"'", "countryCode": "'"$COUNTRY_CODE"'", "formality": "formal", "pointOfView": "first-plural", "creativity": 0.3, "customPrompt": "GENERATE A CUSTOM PROMPT BASED ON RESEARCH", "context": "INJECT BUSINESS CONTEXT FROM PHASE 1 HERE" }, "knowledge": { "serp": true }, "formatting": { "bold": true, "italics": false, "tables": true, "quotes": false, "lists": true, "headingCase": "sentence" }, "structure": { "size": "ARTICLE_SIZE", "faq": true, "keyTakeaways": true, "conclusion": true }, "internalLinking": { "sitemaps": [ { "url": "'"$WEBSITE_URL"'/sitemap.xml" } ], "linkDensity": 3 }, "externalLinking": { "automateExternalLinks": true }, "images": { "imageProvider": "unsplash", "featuredImage": true, "inArticleImages": true }, "videos": { "automateYoutubeLinks": true } } }'
Important behaviors:
After each API call, log the returned batch_id and the keyword.
Wait ~2 seconds between calls to respect rate limits.
If a call returns 429 (rate limit), wait 30 seconds and retry.
After all calls are done, present a summary table:
# Keyword Title Batch ID Status
Phase 5 — Summary & Next Steps
After publishing, provide:
Total articles generated and published.
The content clusters covered.
Suggested next actions: more content for underserved clusters, internal linking review, on-page optimization tips.
RULES
Always research before generating. Never skip Phase 1 and 2.
Always present the plan and wait for approval. Never auto-generate without confirmation.
Adapt the customPrompt and context fields per article. Use the research from Phase 1 to inject relevant business context into each article. Don't use the same generic prompt for all.
Match article size to intent. Use sm for simple definitions, md for standard guides, lg for comprehensive guides, xl for pillar content.
Use the sitemap for internal linking. Always pass the website's sitemap URL so Arvow can auto-link to existing content.
Respect the API schema. entries accepts max 1 item per batch call. Loop through the plan one article at a time.
EXAMPLE USAGE
User: "Research content ideas for my roofing company website at wingmanroofingdfw.com and publish articles"
→ You would:
Fetch wingmanroofingdfw.com, understand their services (residential roofing, storm damage repair, etc.)
Fetch their sitemap, see what content exists
Search for competitor roofing websites in DFW, see what they write about
Find gaps like "metal roof vs shingle cost texas", "how to file a roof insurance claim", "signs you need a roof replacement"
Build a 15-article plan grouped into clusters (Roof Types, Insurance, Maintenance, Cost Guides)
Present the plan, wait for approval
Fire each article through the Arvow API with tailored custom prompts
Report back with all batch IDs
