Linkio's article system

What runs

Linkio's article system writes a guest post for one placement and puts it in a Google Doc. It runs these steps in order: topic-generation, article-draft, content-audit, fact-checking, final-polish, formatting-qa, internal-links, client-mention, client-link, images and url-suggestion. One article takes 15-30 minutes.

Before you start

• The placement needs a target page and anchor text. article_gen_readiness says whether an order's sites can start writing, and names the blocker when one cannot. It is free.
• The topic comes first. An agent picks it with you one site at a time: keywords the site can rank for that fit your target page, then a title you confirm.

Start and follow it

• In the app: in the order, select Start Article on the row of the site. The row then shows the article's status.
• Start: article_gen_start. It holds its estimate first; usage_estimate with the feature article shows the hold before you start.
• Follow: article_gen_status reports each run: running, paused, completed or failed, the current step and the percent done.
• Read the result: workflow_read gives the article link (googleDocUrl) and each step's status.

What it costs

Linkio charges 3c per completed step plus 2c when the article completes. On your own OpenAI key the provider bills you at cost. On Linkio's key the same fees apply, plus the provider cost plus 20%. Articles are the most expensive step of a placement.

Before you send it

Run workflow_verify_doc on the Google Doc. It checks that the anchor text is present and linked to the target URL once, that no placeholder text is left, and more. It is free. Then send the article: Send the article and track the placement.

Link insertions

For a link in an article that is already live, two drafts help:

• workflow_generate_listicle drafts a new entry for a "Top N" article.
• workflow_generate_contextual drafts the one to three sentences that carry your link.
