How to Use the AI Article Autopilot

AI Article Autopilot turns high-opportunity topics into blog articles for your store. Each article gets proper headings, internal links, product mentions, an FAQ section, and schema, so it can rank in Google and get cited by AI. You decide how hands-off it is: review every draft, or let it fill the calendar and publish on its own.

Step 1: Open AI Article Autopilot

Go to StoreRank → AI Article Autopilot. You'll see your suggested topics, the content calendar, and a link to Content Settings.

Step 2: Review your suggested topics

We've already generated topics based on your store and niche. Go through them and remove or edit anything off-brand. You can filter by status (New, Recommended, Queued, Scheduled, Published), sort by Opportunity, Difficulty, Volume or CPC, and star the ones you like.

Want your own topics? See How to add custom topics.

Step 3: Fill your calendar

Click Add to calendar on a topic, or turn on Auto-fill calendar and we'll schedule the highest-opportunity topics for you.

Articles per month by plan:

• Starter: 1 (no auto-fill)

• Pro: 4

• Growth: 8

• Scale: 16

Step 4: Fine-tune a topic (optional)

Click the three dots on a topic → Edit. You can change the title, format and length, pick products or collections to mention, and add instructions, like a specific angle, audience, or brand rules.

Step 5: Review generated articles

Articles generate 5–7 days before their publish date, so you have time to review. In the calendar:

• Queued: scheduled, not generated yet

• Generated: ready to review and edit

• Published: live on your blog

Open a generated article to edit it or regenerate sections. See editing generated articles.

Step 6: Set publishing and defaults

Open Content Settings to choose:

• Drafts only (you publish manually) or auto-publish on the scheduled date

• Publishing days and time

• Article length, brand tone, and language

• Auto-fill calendar (Pro and up)

• AI image generation, default blog, and default author

Articles publish to your Shopify blog. Not seeing them on your store? See where your articles get published.
