#100Posts30DaysChallenge – Why
Why are we doing AI Writing Challenge?
At SEOwind we’ve decided to do a “100 Posts in 30 Days Challenge” written with our AI tool
and share with you updates with stats along the way.
Testing is fun
It’s just fun to test (and to drive some serious organic traffic with our tool).
Collecting Data
We want to get data about AI articles’ performance and share it with everybody.
SEOwind AI Articles results
We want to verify the results we can achieve with AI articles written by SEOwind.
Case study
We can’t share data from our customers, so this will let me show you screens and data from our own GSC.
#100Posts30DaysChallenge – How
Our approach
CyborgMethod™
We use the SEOwind tool to create AI content and we optimize articles with our CyborgMethod™.
SEOwind.io domain
The test will be held on the SEOwind.io domain. Such a domain can be representative of our customers.
Regular updates
We share data every week to show what and when you can expect if you would use AI content to scale.
Day 1:
Starting point
Our history
It’s time for the kickoff where we’re sharing
our history and initial data.
01. When did we start?
We’ve launched an MVP of SEOwind at the end of November 2022 (about 6 months ago). We wanted to create a SaaS tool that will help Humans with crafting article briefs based on SEO data, that will be used to create articles that nail the search intent.
02. MVP
As the tool was really stripped down from features and was focused on essential features, users liked the concept but the tool was not bringing enough value to switch.
03. The power of feedback
In the last 6 months we’ve met 1:1 with more than 500 people. We were prioritizing product development based on the feedback that we were getting. Thanks to delivering more value to the product we slowly could see an increase in customers month over month.
04. Briefing Humans is no different than Prompting AI
At some point we’ve understood that Briefing Humans is no different than Prompting AI. If you want to get quality content you have to provide a proper input to AI to be able to write it. And this is exactly what we’ve done! (Lookup CyborgMethod™ post if you want to learn more about our approach)
05. Only 6-8 blog articles published per month
As we focused mainly on product development and getting feedback from users, we only published 6-8 blog articles per month. We were writing them using SEOwind research for creating the briefs. This worked great, even at the small scale we were publishing.
Kick-off data
SEOwind.io starting point for #100Posts30DaysChallenge
- Google Search Console (GSC) shows in the last 28 days – 1220 Click and 396 536 Impressions
- According to Ahrefs, we have 106 referring domains on SEOwind.io
- At the end of November, we were getting 1-3 clicks per day (probably our friends searching for SEOwind :-))
Step-by-Step Process
How we approach AI Article Writing
Step 1: Topic Selection
Process description:
We focus on topics relevant to our business. SEOwind conducts content research, creates outlines and briefs, and writes AI articles – we focus on that.
We also looked into insights from over 500 talks I had in the last few months. Quite a source of goals, needs, and pains.
We’ve chosen to cover such topics:
- Content strategy & writing
- Blogging
- Tools for writing, optimizing, researching
- SEO
- AI & ChatGPT
This led us to dozens of seed keywords.
Tools we use:
Google, customer conversations 👥
Step 2: Keyword Selection
Process description:
- We conducted keyword research to identify opportunities,
- We looked at Google Search Console (GSC) for keywords with impressions but still underperforming,
- We conducted a content gap analysis to see what our competitors cover.
Tools we use:
SEOwind, Ahrefs, Semrush, GSC 🛠️
Step 3: Data-Driven Content Brief Creation
Process description:
Starting with the primary keyword, we use SEOwind to conduct content research. It gives us competitive analysis, competitor outlines, questions to answer, and ranking keywords.
Our tool uses AI to create titles, meta descriptions, and AI outlines, which we treat as a strong starting point. We add to the outline our insights, tips, best practices, and our product where relevant.
We also add secondary keywords. SEOwind provides keywords that top SERPs rank in the top 30. This way, you can rank with this content for such keywords.
Tools we use:
SEOwind ⚙️
Step 4: AI Article Writing
Process description:
We use SEOwind to write the article, with detailed prompts on context, tasks, and instructions in the background.
Tools we use:
SEOwind 🔧
Step 5: Proofreading & Editing
Process description:
We carefully check content for:
- Quotes, numbers, and links (here AI makes the most mistakes)
- Brand-inconsistent expressions
- Long sentences (which we trim)
- Product descriptions
Tools we use:
Grammarly Premium ✅
Step 6: Blog Post Optimization
Process description:
We optimize content by adding inbound and outbound links, relevant images with alt tags, and utilizing NLP and more keywords for better visibility. Our SEOwind tool is being beta-tested for content optimization.
Tools we use:
Unsplash, Depositphotos, Link Whisperer
Step 7: Publish
Process description:
And voila! You can publish your AI-generated content.
Afterward, we request indexing the page in GSC to speed up the process.
Day 7:
Initial traction in growth
27 AI Articles Published using CyborgMethod™
Write content that ranks not for one keyword, but for dozens of keywords.
📍 We’ve published 27 articles in the first 7 days.
On average, we publish 3,85 articles per day (counting weekends). I’m not saying it’s easy, but it’s manageable. We divided the work between 2 people (writing AI content is just a part of our everyday job).
Even though it’s very early, we already see some traction in growth.

💪 1. CLICKS grew by 26,6%.

💪 2. TOTAL IMPRESSIONS grew by 34,1%.
