What are the benefits of using SKOATCH for content creation?
SKOATCH allows you to plan your site's content from A to Z. The content is entirely generated by the tool and can be automatically sent to your site, including images. Once your request is initiated in SKOATCH, you have nothing more to do until it is published on your site.
For site editors, agencies, and generally anyone managing a network of sites, SKOATCH being a SaaS, it allows you to manage the content of all your sites (and those of your clients) from a single space accessible with a simple internet connection.

Does SKOATCH provide regular updates with new features?
Yes, new features and improvements are regularly added to the solution. They are directly communicated on SKOATCH's social networks.
How does SKOATCH choose images and videos for articles?
Images are created based on the topic of your article. For videos, they are extracted from YouTube based on the topic of your article and integrated into your content.
Can I add my own images or videos to the generated articles?
It is possible to add images and videos directly from the editor accessible by clicking on an article. However, it generally offers fewer possibilities than your CMS editor (especially Wordpress), so it is often more beneficial to make modifications once the article is published on your site.
Are Skoatch images unique?
Yes, the images generated by SKOATCH are 100% unique and have been created solely for your article.
What is the word count for the generated articles?
For a standard article: between 700 and 1300 words, with an average between 750 and 950 words.
For a Premium / custom article (Deep URL, Premium keyword…): articles are significantly longer and can reach up to 5,000 words, depending on the topic and the requested outline.
For a Premium / custom article (Deep URL, Premium keyword…): articles are significantly longer and can reach up to 5,000 words, depending on the topic and the requested outline.
How does SKOATCH generate articles from keywords?
Article generation relies on a combination of AI models that Skoatch orchestrates depending on the step: Anthropic (Claude), OpenAI (GPT), and Google (Gemini, NanoBanana for images), among others. Each model is selected for what it does best (writing, SEO optimization, image generation, etc.), all driven by Skoatch's proprietary algorithms and complemented by SERP analysis. The result: articles that feel natural and are optimized to maximize traffic.
What is SERP analysis (Scrape the Serp option) and how does it help my content stand out?
This option allows our robots to look at the best results in the Google search engine for the keyword you are targeting. SKOATCH then uses this to optimize the content it will offer you.
Note that depending on the results in the SERP, this can sometimes create less relevant articles or even off-topic compared to your expectations.

Can I customize the style or tone of the generated articles?
Yes, it is possible using the "Persona" feature to make the text unique so that it matches your target audience and editorial line.
How does SKOATCH optimize articles for Google Discover?
Beyond the in-house algorithms used for all articles, special work is done on the titles to make them more attractive and click-worthy. The image format is also optimized, with a systematic width of 1200px.
How does Skoatch's internal linking work?
SKOATCH inspects the articles already online on your site and particularly their categories. Based on the requested article topics, SKOATCH identifies the most relevant articles already published on your site to link in the target category, as well as the most interesting natural anchors.
The latest articles published on your site are automatically identified by SKOATCH once a day.

Can I add external links to the requested articles?
Yes, it is possible to request the addition of links in the articles. Simply make your request as usual, but add your link request afterward in the form [[https://www.site1.com/page1|myanchor]].
You can request 2 links per article.
Adding the link will be effective in the vast majority of cases, but there may be some exceptions depending on the URL or anchor requested.

Is it possible to customize instructions/prompts?
Yes, it is quite possible. By setting up one or more personas corresponding to your sites on the one hand, and by adding individual instructions when requesting the generation of an article on the other.
What is an "Expired Domain" project and how does it work?
The Expired Domain project lets you generate a new article for each URL of a domain you have purchased or want to repurpose. Skoatch retrieves the original content using three sources, tried in order:
- The live URL, if the page still exists online.
- The latest archived version on the Wayback Machine (web.archive.org) — the main source for a truly expired domain.
- As a last resort, keywords extracted from the URL slug — with optional Google SERP analysis on that keyword.
What is the "Deep URL Premium" project and how does it differ from a regular URL-based article?
Regular URL-based generation produces an article inspired by the content of a web page. The Deep URL Premium project goes further: Skoatch performs an in-depth analysis of the source page, retrieves its images when possible, and produces a longer, higher-quality article. The cost is 20 credits per article (vs. 10 for a standard one). It's the recommended option for high-value content or when adapting complex articles.
What is a "YouTube Channel" project?
The YouTube Channel project lets you automatically generate articles from an entire YouTube channel. You provide the channel URL or ID, Skoatch follows its new videos and writes an article for each one based on the video and its transcript. Useful to turn a channel (your own or a reference channel in your niche) into a continuously fed blog, with no manual intervention.
What is a persona in Skoatch and how do I use it?
A persona is a reusable writing profile that you assign to a project to give your articles a consistent tone and style. For each persona you define:
- The author name (displayed signature).
- Their description / background (who they are, their expertise).
- The article's target audience ("writing for whom").
- The tone (formal, casual, expert, educational…).
- The writing language.
- Specific custom instructions.
How do I generate an article from a YouTube video?
The YouTube video generation lets you turn any video (your own or someone else's) into a written article. You provide the video URL, Skoatch fetches its transcript and writes a structured article reflecting the video's content and ideas. You can also choose to embed the video itself in the published article to enrich the page (useful for time-on-page and SEO).
What is Google News–based generation?
Google News–based generation lets you automatically produce news articles from the topics emerging on Google News for a given keyword or theme. It's the ideal option to feed a news site or a blog that needs to track an industry's current events without manually monitoring the news.
What's the difference between standard keyword generation and the Premium version?
Standard keyword generation produces a regular SEO article from the topic you provide. The Premium version ("custom article") goes further: Skoatch performs a deeper SERP analysis, takes into account a custom H2 outline if you provide one, and produces a longer, more polished piece. Cost: 20 credits per article (vs. 10 for a standard one).
Can Skoatch add a quiz to my articles?
Yes, Skoatch can generate an interactive quiz related to the article's topic and insert it directly into the published content. It's a great way to boost reader engagement, time spent on the page, and ultimately your SEO. The option is available in the project settings.
Can Skoatch generate the same article in multiple languages?
Yes. You can generate an article and then request its automatic translation into the other languages supported by Skoatch. This is convenient to quickly publish the same content across multiple language versions of a single site, or to feed multiple sites in different markets from a single base article.
Does SKOATCH support different content management systems (CMS)?
Skoatch integrates with any kind of website:
- Automatic publishing (with scheduling) directly from Skoatch for WordPress and Shopify.
- Connection to any other CMS or site type (Wix, Webflow, Drupal, Joomla, PrestaShop, Ghost, static sites, custom sites, etc.): Skoatch can connect to fetch your existing articles, pages, and other content (useful for internal linking, etc.). For publishing, three options: manual copy/paste from the Skoatch editor, Skoatch export, or the Skoatch API to plug in your own automation workflow.
Can I publish articles directly to my Wordpress site? Schedule them?
