Setting up Seomi for SEO content writing

Four quick steps. This is the friction-reducer before you start writing.

1. Sign up for Sintra and select Seomi as your AI SEO specialist from the Helpers list.
2. Set up Brain AI. Upload your website URL, target audience description, existing content examples, and any style or tone guidelines. Takes around 5 minutes. This is what stops Seomi from writing generic articles that could belong to any brand in your niche.
3. Share your content goals. Tell Seomi which topics you want to rank for, which pages already exist, and whether you're targeting informational, commercial, or transactional keywords. This shapes every keyword and content decision Seomi makes.
4. Run your first keyword and article. Give Seomi a topic, ask for keyword suggestions, approve the target term, then ask Seomi to write the article. The full workflow runs in a single chat session.

How to write SEO content with AI in 8 steps

Run these 8 steps in order in a single Seomi chat session, from topic to publish-ready article. Each step builds on the previous one. Skipping straight to step 5 (writing) without doing keyword research and structure first is the most common reason AI-written SEO content fails to rank.

Step 1. Open Seomi

Sign in to Sintra, select Seomi from the Helpers list, and start a new chat. Make sure Brain AI is set up with your website URL, target audience, and content goals. Without it, Seomi writes for a generic niche, not yours.

Step 2. Run keyword research

Brief Seomi on your topic, audience, and search intent. Seomi returns a ranked list of keywords filtered for relevance, intent match, and realistic ranking opportunity.

Prompt: "Suggest high-value keywords for an article about [topic]. Our website covers [niche]. We want to target [informational / commercial / transactional] intent. Highlight the best primary keyword and 3 to 5 supporting terms."

Output: A ranked list of keyword suggestions with notes on intent and competition level. Ready for you to select a primary target.

Step 3. Pick the primary keyword

Review Seomi's recommendations and confirm the primary keyword before any writing happens. This is a deliberate decision point. Skipping it means the rest of the workflow is built on the wrong foundation.

Prompt: "Confirm [chosen keyword] as the primary target for this article. The supporting keywords will be [list]. Search intent is [intent]."

Output: Seomi confirms the target and locks in the keyword strategy for the rest of the chat session.

Step 4. Plan the article structure

Seomi maps out the H1, H2s, and H3s for the article before any body copy is written. Building a structure that matches search intent and covers the topic with enough depth to compete.

Prompt: "Plan the heading structure for an SEO article targeting the keyword '[keyword]'. Include an H1, all H2 sections, and any H3s needed. The article should cover [angle or audience]."

Output: A complete content outline with heading hierarchy. Ready to review and approve before Seomi writes the full article.

Step 5. Write the article

Seomi writes a fully optimized article from the approved outline. Placing the primary keyword in the H1, opening paragraph, and key H2s, and distributing supporting terms naturally through the body.

Prompt: "Write a full SEO blog post using this outline: [paste outline]. Primary keyword: [keyword]. Supporting keywords: [list]. Audience: [description]. Tone: [tone]. Target word count: [X words]."

Output: A complete, publish-ready SEO article with natural keyword placement, correct heading hierarchy, and a logical content flow. Ready to paste into your CMS.

Step 6. Write the meta title and meta description

Seomi writes the meta tags for the article. Both within recommended character counts, leading with the primary keyword, and writing copy that earns the click, not just the ranking.

Prompt: "Write a meta title and meta description for the article above. Target keyword: '[keyword]'. Meta title: under 60 characters. Meta description: under 160 characters."

Output: A meta title and meta description pair, each within limits, with the primary keyword placed naturally near the front of both.

Step 7. Add internal links

Seomi reviews the article and your existing site structure, then recommends where to add internal links: which anchor text to use, which pages to link to, and how to phrase the surrounding sentence naturally.

Prompt: "Suggest internal linking opportunities for this article. Our site has pages on [list of relevant topics or URLs]. Recommend anchor text and placement for each link."

Output: A list of internal link recommendations with suggested anchor text and the sentence or section where each link fits most naturally.

Step 8. Run the pre-publish SEO check

Before the article goes live, Seomi runs a final review against on-page best practices. Checking keyword placement, heading structure, meta tag quality, and whether the content fully answers the search query.

Prompt: "Do a pre-publish SEO check on this article. Target keyword: '[keyword]'. Check: keyword in H1, meta title, meta description, first paragraph, and H2s. Flag anything missing or weak."

Output: A pre-publish checklist result with pass or flag for each element, plus specific copy suggestions for anything that needs fixing before the article goes live.

Two alternative workflows

The 8 steps above cover writing a new SEO article from scratch. Two common situations need a different starting point.

▸ Optimizing an existing article that isn't ranking

If you've already published a piece and it's not pulling traffic, you don't need to rewrite it. Seomi can review what's there and tell you exactly what's missing.

Prompt: "Review this article for SEO and suggest improvements: [paste article]. Target keyword: '[keyword]'. Check keyword placement, heading structure, meta tags, and any gaps in content coverage."

Output: A structured list of optimization recommendations by section, with rewrite suggestions for the highest-priority fixes. Apply them in your CMS and let the article re-rank.

▸ Scaling content production with SEO briefs

If you're publishing multiple articles a week with a team of writers, the bottleneck isn't writing, it's briefing. Seomi generates complete SEO content briefs that writers can use to produce optimized articles consistently.

Prompt: "Create an SEO content brief for an article targeting '[keyword]'. Include: primary keyword, supporting keywords, H1 suggestion, full H2/H3 outline, meta title, meta description, and 2 to 3 internal link targets."

Output: A complete, writer-ready SEO content brief covering all on-page requirements. Each brief takes about 5 minutes in Seomi and gives every article on your content calendar the same SEO foundation.

Writing SEO content manually vs. with Seomi

Tips for writing better SEO content with AI

• Approve the keyword before asking Seomi to write anything. Keyword research and article writing are two separate steps. Skipping straight to writing without confirming the target term produces content that may rank for nothing specific.
• Give Seomi the search intent, not just the topic. "Informational, someone researching before they buy" produces a different article structure than "commercial, someone comparing options." The right intent means the right format and the right depth.
• Use Seomi to build the outline first, then write. Reviewing the heading structure before the full article is written saves significant editing time. If the structure is wrong, the whole article needs reworking. If just the outline is wrong, it takes 2 minutes to fix.
• Match the article format to the search intent. Listicles, how-to guides, comparison articles, and opinion pieces each rank for different intent types. Tell Seomi the format in your prompt ("write this as a how-to guide" or "format this as a comparison article") so the structure matches what the SERP rewards.
• Run the pre-publish check as a non-negotiable final step. Even a well-briefed article can miss keyword placement in the meta title or a weak H1. Seomi's pre-publish review catches these before they affect rankings.
• For content at scale, use Seomi to generate briefs rather than full articles. If publishing more than 4 to 5 articles a week, produce SEO content briefs in Seomi and distribute them to writers. Each brief takes 5 minutes. The consistency across the whole content program is what compounds over time.
