“All the search rankings fit to print.”
The Front Page
30 articles a month, published to your site.
Byline finds the keywords, writes every piece in your brand voice, and publishes it straight to WordPress, Webflow, Shopify or Sanity. You never open a keyword tool, and you never write a brief. If you’d rather check each piece before it goes live, there’s a switch for that.

Why Nobody Has Found You
§ 01 · The SituationYou do not have a traffic problem. You have a nobody wrote the page problem. Search is how people look for what you sell, and they are not searching for your name.
One
They search for the problem, not for you
Nobody types your company into Google unless they already know it. They type the thing they are trying to fix. Whoever wrote the page that answers it gets the visit, and right now that is somebody else.
Two
A five-page site has nothing to put forward
Google and ChatGPT can only recommend pages that exist. A homepage, a pricing page and an about page give them almost nothing to work with, so they hand the answer to a site that has written more.
Three
Your competitors file every week
The gap does not hold still. Every article they publish is a question they now own and you do not, and they are still publishing while you read this.
Four
It compounds, in both directions
A page written this month is still bringing people in two years. The one you did not write is still bringing nobody, and in two years it will still be bringing nobody.

Four pages and your own name

30 a month on Starter is 90 questions answered by the end of a quarter, each one a page somebody can land on without knowing your name first.
The first three months of filing
Clicks, with BylineImpressions, with BylineClicks, withoutImpressions, without
The question was never how to publish more cheaply than a freelancer. It was whether anything gets published at all.
The Concept
§ 02 · What Byline Actually Isbyline noun · ˈbī-ˌlīn
The line above a newspaper story naming the person who wrote it.
We took the word literally, and built the newsroom behind it.
Most “AI writers” are a text box. You paste a prompt, you get 900 bland words, and then you still do the actual work: checking what already ranks, fixing the structure, adding the links, making the image, writing the schema, pasting it into your CMS, remembering to do it again next Tuesday.
Byline is the opposite arrangement. It is a full production line, wired end to end, and it starts before you've had an idea. Point it at your website and it reads what you sell, what you've already covered and what you're missing, then pitches the stories itself. A published, structured, internally-linked, illustrated article comes out the other end, with a scorecard proving it cleared the bar before it printed.
And because it's a newsroom, you don't manage prompts. You manage a publication: a schedule, a story desk, a quality standard, an archive, and a circulation report. That's the whole idea.

§ 03 · The CasePicks the topics for you
Link your site once. Byline reads your pages, infers what you actually do, and discovers the keywords worth chasing, grouped into clusters, checked against what you've already published, and pitched to you as stories. Then it reads the live search results before writing a word.
- Automatic keyword discovery
- Gap detection vs. your archive
- Live search-result research
Writes like your best writer
Each section is drafted against a brand voice you define once (vocabulary, sentence rhythm, things never to say), then woven with internal links scored across every page you have already published. Figures are taken from checked sources, never invented to fill a sentence.
- Brand-voice profile
- Relevance-scored linking
- Checked figures & citations
- Snippet-ready structure
Publishes like clockwork
Nothing prints below your quality bar. Cleared articles get JSON-LD schema, a generated hero image with alt text, and a push straight to WordPress, Webflow, Sanity or your own endpoint, on the cadence you set and forget.
- Quality gate ≥ 80
- Schema + hero art
- Scheduled autopilot
How A Story Is Made
§ 04 · The PressFour movements, one continuous run, and the first one happens without you. Byline reads your linked site to decide what to write about, researches before writing, and judges the result before anything ships.
Movement I
Research
Byline crawls your linked website, works out what you should rank for, then reads the live search results to see what a page has to cover to compete.
You give it · your URL

Movement II
Write
A full-length article is drafted in your brand voice, structured for featured snippets, and woven with internal links drawn from everything you've already published.

Movement III
Edit
The copydesk scores the draft and sends it back for revision if it falls short. Below your floor it doesn't publish. It's spiked and held for a human.

Movement IV

Cleared work gets structured data and a generated hero image, then goes live on your CMS and is filed in the Library, on the cadence you set. Want the last word? Turn auto-publish off and every story waits on your desk to be approved or spiked first.

80The quality floor
Nothing goes to print below the bar.
Every draft is scored before it can publish, and a figure that cannot be traced to its source is sent back with it. Fall short and Byline revises itself. Still short, and it's spiked and held for a human. Your name only goes on work that earns it: that's the entire point of a byline.

The House Style
§ 05 · StandardsYes, a machine wrote it. No, it doesn’t read like one.
Every tool in this category promises human-sounding output. Most of them are a text box and a prompt that begs the model to try harder. Here is what Byline does instead, and where it still falls short.
One
You set the voice once, and it gets scored against it
Vocabulary you use, words you would never say, sentence length, how formal, whether the company says “we” or “I”. Every section is drafted against that profile, then graded on how close it landed. Voice drift is part of the gate, not a footnote.
Two
The tells are stripped in code, not requested in a prompt
Em dashes, “delve”, “in today’s fast-paced world”, the hollow closing paragraph that asks what you think. A sanitiser removes them after the model is finished, because asking a model not to write something and it not writing it are different events.
Three
A figure that cannot be traced does not ship
Every number is checked against the page it was pulled from. If the source does not contain the claim, the draft goes back for revision. One invented statistic is enough to lose a reader for good, and it is the failure mode that gave AI content its reputation.
Four
Nothing prints below 80
The copydesk scores structure, depth, voice match and sourcing. Short of the floor, Byline rewrites it. Short again, it is held for you instead of published. You can raise the floor, or hold everything for approval.
Where it falls short
Byline cannot interview your customer. It does not know the thing that happened in 2019 that made you start the company, and it will not invent one. Original experience is yours to add, and on your five or six most important pages you should. What Byline handles is the other ninety questions, the ones you were realistically never going to write about, at a standard that holds up when somebody lands on them.
And the Google question
Google’s stated position is that it ranks useful content and does not care what produced it. Sites get hit for publishing thin pages at volume, not for using a machine. That is the entire reason the floor exists. Thirty articles a month that each clear 80 is a different thing from three hundred that clear nothing, and Byline is built to do the first one.

Where the paper decides what to cover, and it fills itself in. Byline reads your linked site and returns keywords already grouped into topical clusters with volume and difficulty, framed as editorial pitches rather than a spreadsheet. Green-light a cluster and every keyword in it becomes a queued story.

Queries from the Desk
§ 09 · QuestionsDo I have to come up with the keywords?
No. Link your website and Byline reads it: what you sell, who you serve, what you've already published, then discovers the keywords worth chasing and groups them into clusters on the Story Desk. You approve what you like, or let it run on autopilot and pick for itself. You can always add your own keywords on top.
Do I have to read everything before it publishes?
No, but you can. Byline only auto-publishes work that clears your quality floor; anything below it is spiked and held. Many teams run fully hands-off on cleared work and only open the pieces that got held. You can also set the floor higher than 80, or require manual approval on every article.
Does it touch my live site?
Only where you point it. You connect a CMS in Settings and choose whether Byline publishes live, publishes as draft, or just hands you the finished package with structured data and image attached. You can disconnect at any time and the archive stays in the Library.
How does billing work?
One flat monthly rate for your article allowance. There is no per-article charge, no usage meter and no overage bill: what you see on the plan is what you pay. Change plan or cancel any time.
Can I raise the standard?
Yes. 80 is the default floor; you can set it higher, require manual approval on every article, or hold specific clusters for review while letting the rest run hands-off.
Free, no account
What should your site be ranking for?
Paste a domain. Byline reads the site, works out which searches it has the authority to win, and scores what is missing. About a minute, nothing to install.
