Publishing articles

To make your articles rank in Google and appear in AI search engines like Perplexity and ChatGPT, they need to be published on your website. RankYak gives you two options:

• Automatic publishing (recommended)

• Manual publishing

Both methods work perfectly, choose whichever fits your setup.

🚀 Automatic publishing (recommended)

You can set up auto-publishing by connecting RankYak to your website. Once enabled, RankYak will publish each new article automatically via your CMS, with no manual work required.

Supported integrations include:

• WordPress

• WordPress.com

• Shopify

• Wix

• Webflow

• Make

• Zapier

You can also connect RankYak to other platforms through:

• API

• RSS feed

• Webhooks

After the integration is configured, RankYak handles everything: publishing, metadata, formatting, and scheduling.

✍️ Manual publishing

If you use a CMS that RankYak does not currently support, or if you prefer to stay hands-on, you can publish articles manually.

How to publish manually

1. Open the article in RankYak

2. In the bottom-right corner, click Copy article

3. Choose your preferred format

   • Copy as rich text (most commonly recommended)

   • Other formats depending on your CMS

4. Go to your CMS and create a new blog post

5. Paste the article content into the editor

6. Click Copy meta data in RankYak

7. Copy and paste:

   • Article title

   • Meta title

   • Meta description

   • Slug (used for the article URL)

8. Publish the article on your website

9. Copy the full URL of your published article

10. In RankYak, click Mark as published and paste the URL

This tells RankYak exactly where the article lives on your website.

Tip: Batch publishing

You don't need to publish articles every single day. If it's more convenient, you can publish multiple articles at once, for example once per week. RankYak will still continue writing daily in the background.

🎯 Summary

To make your SEO strategy work, your articles must be published on your website.
You can:

• Set up auto-publishing for full automation

• Or publish manually if your CMS requires it

Either way, RankYak ensures your articles are ready to rank with optimized metadata, formatting, and high-quality content.
