AI Blog Automation for WordPress

This workflow automates the end-to-end production and publishing of SEO-optimized blog posts to a WordPress site. Leveraging AI, it collects and filters relevant tech news, conducts research, generates long-form content with supporting imagery, and publishes up to 10 articles daily. Designed for scale, it ensures consistency, performance tracking, and minimal manual intervention. All generation data is stored in MongoDB for analytics, quality control, and version tracking.

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Daily News Collection
   A scheduler runs each day to fetch the latest tech news from curated RSS feeds such as BBC, TechCrunch, Wired, MIT Tech Review, and HackerNoon. The system filters the feed to include only articles published in the last 24 hours.
2. Relevance Classification
   Each article is processed by an OpenAI classifier that determines its alignment with predefined topics such as AI, robotics, or tech policy. Only highly relevant content proceeds to the next stage.
3. Aggregation and Research
   Qualified articles are summarized and enriched with citations, contextual research, and supporting links. This ensures each blog post is backed by credible and current information.
4. SEO Title Generation
   An AI agent creates five unique, long-tail blog title options optimized for search performance. The most promising title is selected based on a scoring model that evaluates uniqueness and ranking potential.
5. Structured Blog Outline Creation
   A detailed blog outline is generated, including H1 and H2 headers, keyword strategy, structural flow, and snippet-targeted formatting. This acts as the framework for article creation.
6. Article Generation
   The AI generates a full-length article (1,000–1,500 words) based on the outline. The content includes analogies, references, keyword optimization, and narrative techniques to maximize readability and SEO strength.
7. Metadata Optimization
   The system produces all required SEO metadata—meta title, description, slug, alt text, and readability scoring. This ensures search engine discoverability and compliance with tools like Yoast SEO.
8. AI Image Creation
   Leonardo AI is used to create a contextually relevant featured image that aligns with the blog’s tone and topic. Images are optimized for emotional appeal and visual consistency across posts.
9. Automated Publishing
   The complete blog package—article, metadata, and image—is uploaded to WordPress via the REST API. The system sets SEO tags and publishes the post live, fully automated.‍
10. Logging and Performance Tracking
    All article versions, metadata, generation steps, and publication URLs are logged in MongoDB. This supports ongoing performance analysis and enables future improvements.
