Publishing more articles is easy to count; producing useful pages that help the business is harder. This workflow begins with a specific search task and gives the editor a draft with evidence, a clear product connection and an approval record. Automation should reduce repetitive preparation, not erase ownership of claims or publish near-duplicates at scale.
Make this useful for your client. Follow the worksheet, or use the ready-to-copy task with your connected data.

How to run the investigation
Choose the existing or new page
Check Search Console query-page evidence and the content inventory. Improve an existing canonical page when it already answers the intent. Create a new page only when it has a distinct task and something useful to add, such as a worksheet, a demonstrated process or a justified comparison.
Prepare an evidence-led brief
State the audience, question, useful deliverable, sources and product fit. Verify current platform details from primary documentation. Keep proposed examples labeled as illustrative and never turn simulated figures into customer results.
Review the draft in context
Use a WordPress draft or a reviewed code change for a static site. Check the actual layout, links, canonical, dates, metadata and the path to the next task. Verify claims and permission to use images before approval, not after publication.
Publish and measure responsibly
Publish only after the owner’s approval under the workflow. Include canonical URLs in the sitemap and confirm they return usable pages. Submission is a discovery step, not proof of indexing. Review query-level clicks, relevant signups and first value after enough observation time.
Decision worksheet
Use these rows to turn the investigation into an action. Add the actual account, date range, evidence and owner before sharing it with a client.
| What you find | Interpretation | Next move |
|---|---|---|
| Existing page owns the intent | New URL may compete | Improve the canonical page instead. |
| Draft contains unsupported claims | Editorial review failed | Verify, qualify or remove them. |
| Submission accepted | Discovery notification succeeded | Check indexing separately later. |

Worked example: an illustration, not a customer result
A hypothetical agency has a broad reporting guide and wants a page on weekly PPC decision reports. The new page deserves its own URL only if it provides a distinct usable template and decision process. Rewriting the same generic introduction with a new year does not create a new search task or a better reason to register.

Search Autopilot is included in Team and Agency. Drafts and changes require review before publication.
A question worth asking
Can Search Autopilot publish without editorial review?
Use the configured approval workflow. The intended process is to review drafts or code changes before they go live. The site owner remains responsible for accuracy, usefulness and publication decisions.
